I accidentally confused Chris Hansen and Jim Henson last night. And now I want to see a show where the Muppets set up and catch predators.

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)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

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.

Boosting this in case any of the programs and books suggested are useful.

All the photos on this tumblr ad the animal photo reference site I run is another resource available for artists to use!

As long as you’re not using AI to create your art, you can reference / trace / draw / recombine / make any sort of art you want, with any of the photos, for free.

[the-fish-guy]

Let the other you make a post!

[chickenhoops]

Sorry for double posting but APPARENTLY those commission scammers have showed up on Tumblr at least for the first time for me.

For those who don’t know what I am talking about, there were/are commission scams going on in Instagram and even places like Artstation where people would pretend to be interested in your work and try to commission a pet or portrait for the sake of trying to get your bank details. Here’s how to (somewhat) sniff them out:

1- They don’t seem to be an average customer/ person that would be involved in your fandom, or has a blank template for an account or don’t even follow you.

2- They ask you to draw a portrait or a pet picture either for themselves or their children/family.

3- They promise to overpay you (in the hundreds) and do not listen to you even if you firmly state the price is cheaper.

4- They are constantly asking for your email name, or private details regarding things like banking details or passwords or other private information others should not know.

5- They try and over reassure you they mean no harm, try to guilt you into giving them the info, or become aggressive over you not giving them what they want.

What should you do if you come across one of these guys? My best advice is to block and report. Sadly these people jump account to account so there isn’t really much to do other than spread this info to prevent artists from being scammed.

[itsquakey]

SORRY FOR A SECOND POST BUT IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE INSTA COMMISSION SCAMMERS HAVE REACHED TUMBLR LMAO

If you are an artist and take commissions please read, these scams prey on innocent and desperate people and are frankly scummy.

Now that this whole trend with Miku across the world is happening, can someone please make a cover of her singing the countries of the world song.

DnD character design question for you guys...

Played this way of mercy tiefling monk recently in a game. And it's come to my attention that I'm eventually gonna have to draw him without the mask. (when I get my drawing tablet fixed anyway)

Took a vote with my friends whether or not he should look hot or terrifying underneath. It came to a unanimous vote for "Both." I figured what better site to ask for help with this conundrum than this one, so any suggestions I will take into consideration! Thanks!

Incase people missed this.

[the-fish-guy]

Thinking back on it, my favorite thing about when Cuphead first came out was how every letsplayer’s video titles were basically just: Cuphead Ep 1: This game is beautiful! I have awaited this for eons and now it is upon us at last! My skin is clear, my crops are flourishing, all is right in the world. The sense of nostalgia has brought me the sense of joy and wonder which I have not felt for so long. Cuphead Ep.2: I am in great pain. I have not known true suffering until this day. My only desire is to see this game, its creators, and eventually myself crumble to ash and dust. There is no light. There is no happiness. There is only failure after failure after failure. Nothing will make me happy. Not even victory will make me happy. All shall be hollow and devoid of joy. And so I proclaim from the depths of my very soul, fuck this game.

I wanna make a dnd character who's soul goal in life is to piss off Asmodeus by creating a small demiplane directly below the Nine Hells called the Tenth Hell. This plane will be empty aside from a pool table, a beanbag chair, and sign in bad handwriting that just says "Asmodeus sux butt" And because his infernal contract states that he is only ruler of the NINE Hells, technically this character would be in control of the lowest level of the Hells Either one of two things will happen as a result of this. 1: Asmodeus will ignore it and assume that this one small demiplane is not worth his time. But being the power hungry, lawful evil deity that he is will live his immortal life knowing in the back of his mind that there is one part of hell that is metaphorically "above" his own, that he holds no rule over. And this will slowly eat him up over the course of millennia or 2: He or his lackeys are sent to either take over or destroy the demiplane and the character, but Asmodeus has to acknowledge the fact that he spent time, effort, and thought into doing so. And he, the god of Hell, must acknowledge that even he had momentarily sunk down to the pettiness of mortals. And my character dies happy knowing this Either way my character wins

I’m trying to upload more art here, but anyway, I made a boatload of slimy friends! I played a slime person in a homebrew DnD game a while back and discovered that they’re actually really fun to draw!
