yesterday i reblogged a drawing resource that included how to draw hijabs - and it honestly wasn’t the best advice i’ve seen out there

now, i’m not an artist. but what i saw was a video that included hijab styles most of us don’t really wear and incorrect terminology surrounding niqabs and burqas (yes, there is a difference between the two)

so, i went searching and found a tutorial that i felt was better! these drawing guides and examples come from @/winchestermeg on twitter, and i think they’re really great 💕

this has more relevant examples and correct terminologies, and is drawn by a muslim woman

enjoy, artists of tumblr!

Life cycle of our Sun, from beginning to end~

After three months of labor-conducive love, my silkscreen book is complete! 

Based off of the video game ANATOMY, it tells the story of what it really means to live in a haunted house

This game has some of the best writing and one of the most original ideas I’ve seen in a while, so please, take a look!

GREGORY MANCHESS Ripley - Alien Oil

How do / Can I select a part of the picture and move it, not just the inside, but the lines too? And, how can I rotate it?

Assuming you have something like your line art on a separate layer to your colouring, create a layer folder, and drag all the layers you want to move into (onto) the folder.

(If the parts you want to move are only parts of paint layers, and you don’t want to move the entire layer, select the parts first on each layer one-by-one, cut and paste - paste creates a new layer automatically each time you paste.)

You can then choose the layer folder, and the Move tool, and drag the entire folder and all its layers.

To rotate a single layer, or contents within a layer folder, first select the areas you want to rotate. 

(If you have a layer folder selected, all the layers inside it will be affected, otherwise the selection will affect only the selected layer.)

Then use Select menu, Transform (Ctrl+T on Windows, Cmmd+T on MacOS).

Drag outside the Transform box to rotate, drag inside the box to move, and drag the corners to resize. 

You can also hold Ctrl (Cmmd on a Mac?) to distort by dragging individual box corners (for normal distortion, you probably want to untick Perspective at the bottom of the window).

To confirm and “freeze” the transform, click the OK button at the bottom of the window (or again use Ctrl/Cmmd+T).

what i like about this is that the people seem just. unthreatened. they are responding to these nightgaunt looking motherfuckers as if they were a particularly rambunctious opossum. “oh god damn the shadow entity stole our ball again what the fuck dude we’re trying to play horse.” perfect, i love it.

Who made these and how can I support them?

Awesome artist Simon Stålenhag made those.

[prokopetz]

There are actually a couple of tabletop RPGs based on Simon Stålenhag’s work, if you have that particular intersection of interests. Tales from the Loop is pure 1980s cassette futurism with kid protagonists and a largely family-friendly tone, while Things from the Flood speculatively advances the same setting into the 1990s and presents a world in which cassette futurism’s utopian promises failed to manifest and now everything is slowly falling apart; as you may have gathered, the latter’s tone is rather less kid-friendly!
