TO THOSE MAKING NATIVE OCS

I see this a lot, no one has actual names, or any reference for names, that are legit Native American, varying among the tribes, for their characters.

Babynames.com and shit like that will give you names made up by white people.

However, I’ve got your solution.

Native-Languages  is a good website to turn to for knowledge on a lot of native things, including native names. If you’re unsure about the names you’ve picked, they even have a list of made up names here!

Please don’t trust names like babynames.com for native names, they’re made up and often quite offensive to the cultures themselves.

Every story will end eventually, but that doesn't mean each one doesn't have a purpose or greater meaning worth acknowledging.

Gravity Falls taught us to never take things at face value and to always try to think outside the box.

Wander Over Yonder showed us the importance of hope, friendship, and understanding. As well as being kind and helping where we can.

Steven Universe taught us about self-actualization, and that change is beautiful, inevitable, and necessary for growth. As well as taking care of your own needs before others wants.

She-Ra showed us that anyone can and should fight for what's right and to never give up. With enough time and effort, you can do anything you put your mind to.

The fact that all of these concepts are seen as childish and impossible dreams by many means that our world is in more dire need of these messages and lessons than ever before.

Ever since I was little, I've loved to make people happy. For a while, I've lost that spark due to depression, trauma, and allowing life and negativity to drag me down. Even though it's rarely ever that cut and dry.

But I know what I want to do now.

I want to create a world where everyone can feel like they belong and can acknowledge that their life has purpose.

I want to create a world where people can find their happiness and purpose. Where no one has to concern themselves with being judged for such inconsequential things as race, gender, sexuality, class, and whatever else society has decided is equal to a persons worth.

These are important things that make us all who we are, but they in no way determine our worth... and I so desperately want people to see that.

So that's what I'm gonna do, and that's what Y-3K is meant to be.

A beacon of hope. A magical escape from the very trying and depressing world we live in. A world and graphic novel series that'll give people the motivation to leave this world just a bit better than when they entered it.

The meaning of your life is whatever you make it to be, and this is what I plan to do with my life.

If anyone at all is interested in helping me with this, please feel free to DM me! I'd love to hear others thoughts and opinions on this and other matters relating to it.

Everyone always complains about how awful humans can be, but I plan to show everyone how the exact opposite can be true as well.

So, anyone wanna come along?

Thing i learned some time ago!  hope you all find it helpful ( perspective grids can be your friend!)

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS

[blushy-idiot-trazz-deactivated2]

whERE WAS THIS MY ENTIRE LIFE??

[lenindelrey]

on the geometry lessons you probably ignored because you were so artsy (but that’s ok and not so much your fault because your nerd teacher probably didn’t know this could be useful for arts)

[vi14m2lg7m]

a person asked for these a long time ago but i can’t remember who :/c

[retquits]

i exposed myself on twitter i might as well post this here too

[calvin-arium]

It’s here !! The guide for two-legged people who don’t know how to draw wheelchairs !!! 7 pages of infodump ! Disclaimer : I don’t know everything, I have one (1) experience of wheelchair user who used both bad and good chairs, and I share what I learned.

Image description :

1) Calvin in his wheelchair saying “yo” under a huge title “how to draw manual wheelchairs properly by Calvin Arium, a wheelchair user comic artist”.

2) A character says “my character self propels in a chair that was outdated in 1970 lol” Calvin says “so it looks like you two legged people don’t know the difference between an hospital chair and a chair made to be independant” an arrow point the crapppy chair, saying “we never want to see this again”

a bubble says “the hospital chair is extremely unpractical, tough considering it’s cheaper than a good custom chair a lot of us have only this”

3) a character hurt himself trying to reach the wheels of the hospital chair. Several arrows point why the chair is unpractical : “high backrest restrain shoulders movement” “huge armrest restrains wheel access” “separated footrest : amovible, cheap, bulky” “x structure, foldable but heavy” “huge front casters for stability” “heavy wheels”

4) Several arrows point an active wheelchair (the KSL by Küshall) : “usually no armrest” “a low backrest allow more movement” “light, design, ferning expersive” “special cushion to avoind injuries” “knee angle is usually 90°” “one single piece of frame, sometimes entirely welded” “weight : from 4 to 10kg” “often rigid” “center of the wheel is the center of gravity” “higher quality wheels : less spikes”

5) A hand grab different parts of the wheel, pushing harder in the second half. Bubbles says “some have gloves, some don’t. The hand must grab the biggest area possible. Less movement = more energy. This is a common but not only way to push.Calvin is on his back wheels, rolling on grass and dirt bubble says “popping a wheelie is when a wheelchair user rolls on their back wheels to roll on every complicated surface.

6) several drawings illustrate the folding frame, the ergonomic but rigid and expensive backrest, the separated footrest (only for folding frame), the handles, the folding handles, athe amovibles handles, or no handles, the cool fancy loopwheels, the pretty custom colors 

7) More Features ! The fancy rigid-foldable frame, the anti tippers (sometimes used by beginners), the motorization (wheels, smart drive) when propelling yourself is difficult Calvin says "and now vroom vroom motherfuckers”

Drawing Clothes Tips by joua.k

[dredsina]

[madisword-archived1]

I MADE A GIANT MASHUP EXPRESSION MEME!!

NONE OF THESE BEAUTIFUL DRAWINGS ARE MINE.

They all belong to their respective owners, written on the pictures and linked here: @the-adorable-lua @capochiino @rosswelm @crashandburrnart @ghostlybunns @maxxeruz-moved @socky-senpai @avcris @cherideer @the-toybox-general @platinumft @straw6unny @s0urur0 @kojoika

I chose these ones because I thought they were the best after scrolling for a good hour. I did some editing (resizing, naming, and adding credits) but nothing more!! I just wanted to make a big and varied expression meme with different styles to choose from if anyone else likes to do that. Feel free to reblog but PLEASE KEEP THIS ON TUMBLR.

Send a name (of expression meme), letter+number, and character to my inbox ♪(´▽｀)

Stuff/fandoms I like in the tags

[kestrill-art]

These were actually REALLY fun to do ahhh. Feel free to send me requests for dragon age characters or my OCs! And of course feel free to use these yourselves haha

[gluom]

[starryseasart]

this is how I “scan” the majority of my stuff too!

[sabertoothwalrus]

Also! If your picture has midtones that get lost, turn the Brilliance up (and the exposure down if you need to)

This is the method I use when I want to color drawings with Medibang!

artist tips

don’t save as jpeg

[suchirolle]

as a former yearbook editor and designer, let me explain this further

if youre only planning on posting your art online, them please save it as .png ;this is also better for transparencies as well

BUT

please, if youre planning of printing your art, NEVER use png. it makes the quality of the image pretty shitty. use jpeg or pdf instead. and always set your work at 300dpi to get a better printing quality - this means, the images are crisper and sharper and theres no slight blurriness. i had a talk with my friend who is currently taking design, and pdf is much better to use when youre working with a bigger publishing company because it still has the layers intact, but if youre only planning on printing your stuff at staples or at some small publishing store, the jpeg is the way to go.

this has been a public service announcement

[inactive-ironic-ken]

Want a good picture to save as? PNG

Want a good printed picture? JPEG

[freak-phone]

I get asked a lot for tips with coloring black people, so i put together a little tutorial! (and bumps my kofi if you found this helpful)
