May he be with his beloved wife again.

Thanks for the happiness, Mr. Lee. ♥

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy

[priincessolivee-deactivated2025]

I tried to scroll past this. I really did

[invisiblelad]

I feel like minor acts of kindness and good intentions are really important on days like this.

Here’s a pic of the shopkeeper from Snowdin (that I recently put in my fic and called her Charlotte)

[nochocolate]

I have seen a lot of people complaining about the Jevil in the past few day, meanwhile I beat it at my second try

congrats! you are better than us mortals. 

[pun-ishment888]

Yeah, once you beat genocide, DeltaRune has nothing. Reloading to kill sans or undying without using items makes you trancend into a powerful but heartless god.

Why do artists refuse to use references why why why.

It’s not a contest to see who can get by without them. It’s not cheating to look at a thing in order to know what the thing looks like.

You don’t get stronger or better by pretending. Nobody is impressed by the awkward whatever-it-is you just drew. Use references.

[wolveswithhats]

I don’t think a lot of people know that it’s not cheating. I recall seeing so many piece of art called out because they referenced a pose, someone recognized it, and then proceeded to shame them for it. There’s this belief, both by creators and the audience, that artists should just be able to translate the ideas from their head to paper, and if they don’t, it’s plagiarism, or not true originality (spoiler alert: there’s no such thing).

I myself didn’t start using references until very recently, because even I was under the impression that it was frowned upon. And that belief has seriously crippled and stalled my ability to improve as an artist.

[priderising]

As a restarting artist, I can confirm. I just never knew. I thought you were just supposed to know how to draw the body correctly and if you didn’t you had no talent.

[reapergrellsutcliff]

(( I am going to say this again, loud and clear for everyone:

USING REFERENCES FOR ART IS NOT ‘CHEATING’!!!

If you can draw/paint without references, great!  But if you need to use them, and feel that your art can be bettered by using references, please, use them!  This is one of the biggest tips I can give to artists, is USE REFERENCES! 

Anyone who would dare to attack someone for using references after ‘recognizing a pose’ is a dipshit, who doesn’t know a thing about art.

Do you know who else used references for their art?

Norman Rockwell

Alphonse Mucha

Gustav Klimt

Toulouse Lautrec

Vincent Van Gogh

Paul Gauguin

Edgar Degas

Gil Elvgren

Frida Kahlo

Pablo Picasso

Disney Studios

And thousands of others!  So, artists! Go forth, and use references!!! ))

[lightsintheskye]

Reblogging as a constant reminder to my followers: You will never get better if you don’t use REFERENCES from life!! References are your friend I use them all the time and have nearly one terabyte for poses alone.

You can even use other artists work, it’s just a matter of respecting the artist. Just be very careful and ASK (if you can) before posting any art you made that directly references an artists work. If you cannot contact them, let people know or link to the reference you used. Do not claim the work is your own or let people assume it by not saying anything at all-that’s where the call out culture is. Emulating master works was REQUIRED for half my undergrad classes in painting- and my original work was so much better because I studied someone with more experience and knowledge of the craft.

Unless you have a very good grasp on your subject matter trying to draw everything from memory is just going to hinder and frustrate you.

Study the masters.

Study real life.

Practice. Practice. Practice.

Your work will thank you for it.

[katpurrccino]

I don’t add to reblogs ever, but I’m gonna mention for a hot minute that in my studio art classes I took before uni and during high school when I still thought I may have been going into art for college collecting references was a REQUIREMENT or else you wouldn’t be allowed to carry on with the project at all. They actually counted towards a small part of grade in fact. Yea proving that you were not just winging it counted for something. They wanted to know that you knew what you were doing so you weren’t just somehow guessing and pulling it out of nowhere… Anyone who says looking at references is cheating clearly doesn’t know what tf they are talking about. That’s just ridiculous.

♡!!

[uwasoarty]

I know there are a couple of artists who follow me, and this is important! It isn’t considering cheating or tracing until it is the EXACT same pose (so taking the digital art and recolouring it and then using it as your own which is DEFINITELY WRONG). Please, use references! I generally use my hands for reference, or I search up the characters online and go from there. Be free and use references!

I think the ending to chapter 1 of DeltaRune is one of the creepiest moments in video game history. What about you?

eyup 

[uwasoarty]

Upon playing this game until 3:30 in the morning, I can confirm that yes, the creepy factor is high

[devogamer]

time for some Deltarune

[uwasoarty]

Some good art for a good game

[uwasoarty]

So sorry...

It’s been a long time since I posted here. I’ve been caught up in other things. I’ll try and post maybe once a week and reblog good Undertale content (and maybe some... Other... Delta content). I hope you are all doing well!
