Yep… So this is what I think might be helpful. Check this tutorial by Sinix [x] it’s super helpful for drawing faces from different angles. Generally, if I can imagine a head in 3D I’m able to draw it and drawing eyes first helps me visualise everything. (It’s super sketchy but hope it’s understandable anyway :))
A compilation of stuff I know about drawing Asian faces and Asian culture! I feel like many “How-To-Draw” tutorials often default to European faces and are not really helpful when drawing people of other races. So I thought I’d put this together in case anyone is interested! Feel free to share this guide and shoot me questions if you have any! I’m by no means an expert, I just know a few things from drawing experience and from my own cultural background.
if only I knew how to work photoshop or add an unholy amount of jpg artifacts to things, then I could produce some REAL dumbass reaction images
Hello and welcome to Captain Snoop’s tutorial on how to really FUCK UP pictures.
Step 1: Open Photoshop and open the image in question
Step 2: Just go straight to “Save As” and be sure to save as a jpg
Step 3: in the compression options, slide the lil slider all the way to the left, compressing the fuck out of the image
Step 4: Screenshot your fucked up image and cancel saving
Step 5: Past the screenshot, adjust your image, and Save As again
Step 6: same as before, just slide that shit all the way to zero quality and screenshot again
Step 7: Repeat until you get the desired amount of compression scum
Step 8: grab yourself the magic want tool and start select a random part of the image
Step 9: Go in to Effects > Sharpen > Sharpen Edges and repeat this effect on different parts of the image
Step 9: Add another few layers of compression scum for good measure.
Congratulations! You have now officially turned this:
In to THIS:
But sometimes that isn’t enough. Sometimes you gotta go the extra fuckin’ mile.
Find yourself a website with a “meme creator,” Imgur has a nice one. Put your stupid shit of choice in there,
Ah, but that’s still not good enough. Let’s do some more shit to it.
oh yeah thats the good shit. let’s keep going. let’s find an this picture would look nice with some “enhancements.” Let’s upload it to Imgur again and use their in-browser image editor to fuck around with it.
Stick some of the enhancements like color correction, brightening, and “high def” on it, and slap one of their filter effects on it. Holy shit. It looks good.
Not done though. I made an unfortunate typo. I need to correct it.
NOW THATS A GOOD MEME

Trying to draw buildings
yo here’s a useful tip from your fellow art ho cynellis… use google sketchup to create a model of the room/building/town you’re trying to draw… then take a screenshot & use it as a reference! It’s simple & fun!
Sketchup is incredibly helpful. I can’t recommend it enough.
There’s a 3D model warehouse where you can download all kinds of stuff so you don’t have to build everything from scratch.
reblog to save a life
This is an incomplete tutorial, and it drives me crazy every time I see it come around.
We live in a pretty great digital age and we have access to a ton of amazing tools that artists in past generations couldn’t even dream of, but a lot of people look at a cool trick and only learn half of the process of using it.
Here’s the missing part of this tutorial:
How do you populate your backgrounds?
Well, here’s the answer:
If the focus is the environment, you must show a person in relation to that environment.
The examples above are great because they show how to use the software itself, but each one just kind of “plops” the character in front of their finished product with no regard of the person’s relation to their environment.
How do you fix this?
Well, here’s the simplest solution:
This is a popular trick used by professional storyboard and comic artists alike when they’re quickly planning compositions. It’s simple and it requires you to do some planning before you sit down to crank out that polished, final version of your work, but it will be the difference between a background and an environment.
From Blacksad (artist: Juanjo Guarnido)
From Hellboy (Mike Mignola)
Even if your draftsmanship isn’t that great (like mine), people can be more immersed in the story you tell if you just make it feel like there is a world that exists completely separate from the one in which they currently reside – not just making a backdrop the characters stand in front of.
Your creations live in a unique world, and it is as much a character as any other member of the cast. Make it as believable as they are.
Other super obvious in hindsight trick that makes people go “Oh shit why didn’t I think of that”, if you’re moving a character around in perspective, just put the same point in their body on the horizon line at different sizes and you can get an idea of how big they should be that close to the camera

hey guys psa regarding hospital bills
don’t just pay it. do not automatically pay the hospital bill when you receive it. call your health insurance provider and POLITELY say, “excuse me, i just received a bill for $1200 for my hospital visit/ER visit/etc., is that the correct amount i’m supposed to pay?” because hospitals bill you before your health insurance and they will take your money no matter how the amount due may change based on your health insurance looking at it. 90% of the time, if your health insurance is in any way involved in the payment of that bill, you do not have to pay as much as the hospital is billing you for. call your health insurance provider first, and POLITELY request clarification, always remember that the person you are talking to is human and this is just their job, and then you will very likely find out you actually only owe $500.
don’t shout at anyone about it, don’t get mad, just understand that this is The Way Things Are right now and call your health insurance provider before paying the bill your hospital just sent you. there’s a chance the hospital bill might be correct, true, but call your health insurance provider.
THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT. after my car accident last year the hospital billed me ~$8000. They sent me letters asking me to pay, and I called them back saying my insurance was processing the claim. This is also what I told the collection agency when they kept calling me about the $1000 emergency room fee (billed separately from the hospital fee, mind you). Once everything got straightened out, all I was actually liable for was my $200 emergency copay.
!!!!!!! things my ass didn’t know !!!!!!!!
Yes this is a life lesson my adulting ass didn’t know I needed and I’m out 80 bucks for an anti-nausea pill. 😒😒😒😒😒
Reblogging for American friends.
Also, it is important [for people receiving medical care in the USA] to carefully read all of the items on the medical bill and look for errors and overcharges. I know that the normal feelings of avoidance and dread can make it hard to look at scary hospital bills, and that’s okay! But as the OP mentions, private orgs like hospitals don’t monitor overpayment of bills - they are motivated to charge you extra - and it is basically impossible to get your money back. Read the bill carefully and make sure that the charges are correct, using the links below for help if you need. If they haven’t sent you an itemized list, you can ask for one. Sometimes you will be charged extra for items or treatment you didn’t receive. Most people don’t know that you can dispute medical bills! But in 2009, Consumer Reports stated that 8 out of 10 medical bills scrutinized by a watchdog had errors, and generally you are not obligated to pay for someone else’s error.
You may be charged for using medication that you actually brought into the hospital with you - that’s easy to dispute! You may be charged for the consumables used during your stay such as sheets, gloves, gowns, etc - the hospital should actually cover that under its running budget. You may be charged for a brand name drug if the generic was available for cheaper - the links below explain how and when you can dispute this. You may be charged a surprisingly expensive “oral administration fee” (where a nurse puts pills for you to take in a little clean paper cup and then hands it to you) but that’s worth disputing if you were actually able to take the pill out of a bottle and put it in your own mouth. And so on.

u have any lineart coloring tips? like where to use darker shades and how much darker or more saturated u make the line color from the adjacent base color, so it's not too heavy but it's not too light either? i cant explain it but you did it in your stan and mabel drawing and im terrible at picking colors
yeah! my tips:
use multiply
use overlay
use both multiply and overlay
ctrl+u (hue & saturation adjustment) every time!
personally i find it hard choosing lineart colors from scratch (when the layer is normal and opaque). using multiply/overlay incorporates the colors below for me, so making the lineart almost any color & setting it to multiply gives a decent result. then with ctrl+u i can finetune to find what looks best for my colors!
i have the stan & mabel one as an example below, but most of the light/dark balance & the saturation in the lineart just comes from setting it to multiply or overlay

hey!! so i made kind of a combo of those ‘send a letter and number…’ expression n pose drawing prompt memes, and just in general chara / oc outfit ask box drawing memes…but visualized! i thought it’d be fun if there was a sheet like that, but with fun cosplay n outfits. as a note, it doesn’t have to be exactly the same as shown, it can just be a general jumpin off prompt if you’d like! go wild with ur outfit design!!!
if you wanna use this elsewhere besides tblr, please feel free to repost on twit, insta, etc. all i ask is if you could link back to me, thank you :~) and of course, if you do it i would love to see your results!

i just want to say, for people reblogging this, that this is called the “rule of thirds” and the tips i wrote here by no means are things that you HAVE to do! these are just tips i use for myself, i kind of made up the bubble rule and i dont even know if im using the rule right haha so there theres that! i just like to use it so i know my bubbles have a place to go
examples of me using rule of thirds to separate elements in “Rachael and Penny”
i got the information a long time ago from a thread on penciljack called Storytelling 101, specifically this image
there is tons of information on rule of thirds available, i know eyecager has a post that dips into it ….
This is also hella useful for photography composition, especially for landscape and architecture shots
@meirupo This is useful.
Help Everyone Find A Job In Their Field
Money cat can only do so much
I'm a self taught digital artist and I've gotten by pretty well so far on my own but as of lately I've been considering going to college since I actually can afford it now, I just wanted to know what classes you took to get where you are now?
I’ve only attended community college a while back and the art classes I took were for fun/out of boredom. Life drawing was the most useful but honestly I didn’t take much from it to /get me where I am now/. I’ve never taken a sequential/comics class in my life so all my skills regarding that is self taught along with a bunch of other stuff. Even though figure drawing helped a bit I still learned most about anatomy just by drawing porn haha.So yeah, I wouldn’t say I took any classes to get myself where I am now since I’m almost entirely self taught. I had a bunch of friends including @milkrainn who went to university for art tho! Self teaching, taking classes, etc, any way is as valid as you make it. Everyone learns differently!
