Ishkabibble

Ishkabibble- a slang term used to dismiss something as trivial   ****18+ no minors please**** This is kind of a shit blog (made primarily for myself) but if you want to rummage through it I suppose that's fine.  it's a blog (if you can even call it a blog) about nothing in particular: I post anything and everything I find interesting/entertaining (including NSFW) and claim ownership over none of it unless otherwise stated.

[kropotkindersurprise]

one really annoying thing about this american world cup, apart from the extra ad breaks, is they keep showing us fucking celebrities during the game. who gives a shit that beyonce is in the audience. also the dumbass half-time show theyre planning for the final. US culture is such celebrity obsessed ad-riddled garbage.

[kropotkindersurprise]

commentators here are just constantly mocking the fact that there will be a fucking half-time show at the finals, the "hydration" ad-breaks, and also that tickets to the finals cost around €4500,-

if the world cup was supposed to be like a sportswashing excercise for the USA, it has backfired pretty well. First the racist treatment of officials, players and fans by immigration, then the ridiculous open vindictive cheating by the USA by refusing visas for the Iranian team, and then the open corruption of Trump calling up the Fifa to make them cancel that red card for the US team.

A truly pathetic revelation of its national character by the USA. Mexico and Canada have been enjoyed and appreciated by all involved, in contrast.

[kropotkindersurprise]

lmao, they really just think its the superbowl

[kropotkindersurprise]

lol, the Dutch national broadcaster isn't pulling any punches, calling out the corruption, racism, sportswashing and cheating by Trump, including bringing up the Epstein files, discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community, and the ICE murders of immigrants. As I said, the USA really used this World Cup to show itself to the world. Translated article under the cut:

A day before the World Cup final, New York is covered in a thick layer of smog from Canadian wildfires, turning large parts of the northeastern United States gray. A symbolic conclusion to a World Cup that became a celebration of magnificent football in packed stadiums, but was also marked by extreme weather, human rights violations, and political interference.

FIFA critic Jules Boykoff doesn't have to think long about the question of what stood out most for him outside of the sport: "The reversal of that red card, following political pressure from President Donald Trump. I think that will go down in history as one of the biggest controversies in World Cup history."

With a single phone call to FIFA boss Infantino, the president managed to overturn the automatic suspension of American star player Balogun. "You really have to see that as a message to a domestic audience: that he is a strong leader who can keep international organizations in line. He can bend FIFA to his will."

The political scientist calls it sportswashing : using sport for political gain. Boykoff: "Trump does that more than any other modern American president." He believes this cannot be seen in isolation from the upcoming parliamentary elections. "His base is dissatisfied with his war on Iran; there is disappointment regarding the Epstein files. He wants to show that he is still in control."

Many not welcome

A Somali referee who was denied entry, players detained at the border, fans denied visas: the list of absentees was long. "This is a World Cup in a place where the world is not welcome," says Minky Worden of Human Rights Watch (HRW). "While the Haitian team played at the World Cup, hundreds of thousands of Haitians in the US lost their temporary residency status."

"You cannot judge this World Cup without looking at who is missing," says Lily Dong Li Rosengard of LGBTI rights organization ILGA World. "The LGBTI community is conspicuously absent because many people do not feel safe coming to the US."

"A visa is a privilege, not a right," says Andrew Giuliani, Trump's 'World Cup chief'. At a press conference, he tries to counter the criticism. "We have proven that you don't have to choose between welcoming millions of international visitors and keeping citizens and visitors safe," says Giuliani. "Americans fell in love with the World Cup and the world fell in love with America again."

There were fears beforehand of ICE operations during the World Cup. As far as is known, arrests did not occur around the stadiums. But according to Daniel Noroña of Amnesty International, the World Cup thus became a distraction from what was happening off the pitch. "Because deportations, arrests, and the unjust and cruel immigration policy simply continued."

Protest against ICE

A few kilometers from the stadium where the final is being played, protests have been ongoing for months at a detention center run by the immigration service ICE. There are concerns about food shortages and access to medication. Detainees also have hardly any access to a fair trial, says Noroña.

According to HRW, 55 people have died in ICE detention centers so far during Trump's second term. There have also been fatalities on the streets. "Just last week, two fathers were shot by ICE while on their way to work," says Worden.

Just enjoy

Fans of Argentina and Spain have their own opinions about it. "That red card… if our president called, Infantino wouldn't answer," says an Argentine fan.

"He's an asshole, or am I not allowed to say that?" says a Spanish supporter. "I don't think it should be a factor," says another Spain fan about everything that happened off the pitch this World Cup. "We should just enjoy our final, and go for our second star."

I don't even follow sports like at all and even I'm aware of what a complete shitshow this world cup has been.

Document Declassified by Trump Reveals Russia Tried To Help Him Win the 2020 Election

According to an intelligence assessment Trump released on Thursday, the Russian government tried to help him.

“The election must have been rigged because the people rigging it for us didn’t succeed.”

The fact that Republicans and Russia did everything they could to rig the election in their favor and still lost will always be funny to me.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)

NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

[reo-speeddragon]

There's also MORPHO, a really good book series on anatomy by Michel Lauricella, with very clear explanations and sketches!
