CamScanner: a must have for traditional artists!

hello! I recently found this rad app called “CamScanner”, a mobile app for android and iOS

what does this app do? well, basically it imitates a scanner, so even if you don’t have one, you can take real cool pictures of your drawings!

for this to work, i suggest you take a picture of your entire paper / sketchbook / etc. The app will automatically crop your picture and come out with something like this:

(sometimes it wont be too accurate, but that can be easily fixed by moving the frame yourself)

once scanned, the app will make it so your drawing looks like this:

(the app will have some presets, so you might want to mess around with those. OR you can mess with the settings yourself to get a look you desire)

this can be really helpful if you plan to color your traditional piece on a computer, or something similar.

this can even work with colored drawing, if you’d like!

original:

edited with CamScanner:

if you mess with the settings yourself, i bet you could get the picture to look better, as i did this with the presets.

anyway, i hope this helps!

I’m just gonna go ahead and bullet our presidents’ train of thought while writing these two tweets:

•all these plane crashes are caused by technology

•therefore, airplanes are too complex to fly

•for example, we no longer need pilots

•because planes are basically flown by MIT engineers

•these MIT pilot engineers do too much technology

•they are wasting their time because we need pilots to fly these airplanes

•the best ever pilots

•these pilots have to be so good they are geniuses

•geniuses like Albert Einstein

•who, by the way, was a horrible pilot

•but he could figure out all this technology

•just like all these world-class pilots we have

•pilots I want there to override this technology that is causing planes to drop out of the sky

[jerdle]

It actually makes sense. It boils down to this:

Planes have become too reliant on technology rather than the trained gut instincts of a good pilot.

Or even shorter: Fucking nerds.

[donald-trump-official]

Look I’m no aviation expert but I do know that:

•technological advances have allowed the aviation industry to be literally the safest form of travel on the planet. You are thousands of times more likely to die in a car crash than an airplane crash

•anytime a plane crash happens, the entire industry learns from the mistakes, and changes them so it doesn’t happen again. For 50+ years, accidents have provided necessary changes to engineering, procedures, flight controllers, and ever other aspect of the industry. These changes improve the safety standard of the industry and prevent the same accidents from happening again.

•As I write this, Boeing and the NTSB are evaluating the causes of the two most recent crashes, and after their investigation is complete they will update their training procedures, their engineering faults, and whatever else necessary to make sure this type of crash never happens again

•technology does not prevent flight. That’s literally not how flight works. Technology enables flight, but is not the reason a plane cannot fly. The sentence “airplanes are becoming too complex to fly” is utter nonsense

Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister

I know this is for when someone approaches you agressivley/unwantingly and attempts to trap you but literally I would use this on men who are 600ft away minding their own business too.

Hey girls, Krav Maga teacher here.

1. Go for the eyes. I know it’s basic, but some people are squeamish about it - DON’T BE. Take out an eye, and the majority of people will back right off, or be debilitated.

2. Do NOT let them get you by the hair. Do absolutely anything to prevent this.

3. Go for the throat. If you can hit them anywhere, make it to the throat.

4. The elbow is short range, but that shit hurts when you’re hit with it (I’ve been elbowed in the face, it doesn’t feel good.)

5. Don’t try headbutting. I’m trained, and I would STILL not attempt it. It’s difficult to do correctly, and you can end up hurting yourself more than them if you do it wrong.

Reblogging for the krav maga addition. 

Another side note: if you’re hitting with a closed fist, only use that with soft spots for maximum damage/shock. If your punch lands incorrectly on bony surfaces, you can break bones or dislocate joints. 

Pull pinkie fingers at a sharp angle like no one’s business. They’re weak, hurt like a bitch, and will break easily. Clapping your hands, using the heel, down HARD over someone’s ears can also help stun them to assist in your escape. 

Most important MAKE NOISE. Scream, roar, cry, do whatever you can to draw as much attention as possible to what’s happening. Even if you hold them off for just a little bit, and bystanders are nearby, someone might help or assist with calling police if they hear enough of a fuss. Sometimes, enough noise and resistance can also help discourage attackers, if they think you’ll be too much of a problem. 

Stay safe, y’all.

DO NOT HEADBUTT.

Even trained professionals have a hard time getting the angle right. I have been in boxing and kick boxing classes since I was six and in Brazilian jujitsu for ten years. Go for the eyes, go for the soft areas (throat, balls, nose) I don’t care how tough a man is. He will drop like a sack of potatoes if he is hit in the gonads. The nose is stupidly easy to break. And it will make the eyes water instantly and disorient.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pointed out that many young people are concerned about having kids because climate change will make the planet increasingly uninhabitable.

Fox News hosts are now claiming she wants to “get rid of children.”

Fuck fox news bro. Rich people playing dumb to influence poor people to be dumb

There’s hardly been such a blatant and clear example of how biased media outlets twist things… this should be in a damn text book on propaganda
