Today I learned

Free Audiobooks and Ebooks on OVERDRIVE.

Free Graphic Novels (DC, Marvel, Image, etc), Music, TV shows, and music on HOOPLA.

Free music that you can KEEP on FREEGAL

You are PAYING for all this with your tax money - USE THEM. Most likely systems will have all 3 or 2 out of 3, so if you aren’t sure call your local library’s reference/information desk and how you can get set-up or started.

#YEP ME #THANK U MIRI

Hi everyone, here is my 4th year graduation film, Monkey Business!! You can watch the whole film on Vimeo, link in the bio! I wanted to thank everyone who supported me these 4 years at Sheridan. Friends, family and teachers who were there at every step, whether it’s a push to work harder or a shoulder to cry on. It’s really been a crazy ride! Hope you enjoy the film, I’d love to hear any thoughts or critiques! 😊

Tips

Tools you can use as an Artist;

Trace your own photography (tracing provides muscle memory - and let’s admit it, it still takes a modicum of talent to trace and actually have it look right)

Get permission from an artist to use their work as training wheels (just to be on the safe side)

Reference yours or someone else’s photography

Reference someone else’s artwork (if you do this, just ensure you’re adding interest to it, your own thing, something that’s not already there - also ensure the artist doesn’t have issue with it - it’ll be posted somewhere)

Watch youtube tutorials to see how someone else paints

Read written tutorials to learn more tips and tricks

Use Design Doll to take the guesswork out of perspective and dynamic lighting

Unadvisable things to do;

Paint over someone else’s entire artwork and upload it as yours

Trace someone else’s entire artwork and upload it as yours

Manipulate someone else’s photography and upload it as yours

Argue with the artist that’s upset that you’ve done any of the aforementioned to their work

Share someone else’s artwork without credit

Share/Upload someone else’s artwork without their permission (for the record, I don’t mind if you share/upload my stuff anywhere)

At the end of the day, it’s a pretty complicated subject so just take care not to rock the boat too hard. Be educated about it.

I also sound like I’m getting paid to sell Design Doll. I swear I’m not, I just really love the program and I’m constantly shocked when I find out that not many have it, let alone heard of it.

Thanks for your time, hope this helps someone - also hope it doesn’t start drama because that sucks.
