Why do we all need a badge?

We love badges — this is no secret, and it’s precisely why we continue to invest in them. Of course, we’re not the only ones. So why are more and more people fond of wearing enamel pins? Why are they so popular? And how can you make the most of this? Let’s explore together.

The Versatile Uses of Badges

Small yet significant, badges carry rich meanings. People often choose to wear them for various purposes, with self-expression being the core reason. Badges pins can cleverly and prominently showcase a person’s interests, hobbies, and even beliefs.

Wearing a badge can also express identity — it can symbolize membership in a sports club, interest group, supported team, or political organization, making the connection to a specific community tangible.

Furthermore, badges pins are commonly used for commemoration and recognition. Whether for important events or personal achievements, they serve as physical mementos of those experiences or milestones.

In the commercial sphere, badges are widely utilized as tools for brand promotion. A well-designed badge can effectively enhance a brand’s visibility and public recognition.

On a social level, badges can also serve as a gentle yet firm means of expression, conveying an individual’s stance on public issues, even becoming a visual symbol for action and advocacy.

Expressing Identity and Belonging

Badges are powerful tools for showcasing individuality and belonging. They not only highlight a person’s unique personality traits, interests, and values but also reflect their affiliation with a group, club, or community, fostering a sense of unity and shared identity.

They can also represent personal hobbies or passions, spanning a wide range from music and art to sports and travel. Simultaneously, badges can act as a subtle form of activism — wearing a badge representing a certain issue or movement signals support or opposition.

Additionally, badges serve as vessels for nostalgia, evoking memories and emotions of past experiences for the wearer.

Supporting Causes and Social Movements

Badges pins are often used to express support for charitable organizations, social causes, or public campaigns, becoming visible symbols of solidarity and conviction.

They can also spark conversations, initiating discussions about specific issues, thereby raising public awareness and facilitating dialogue.

In fundraising, badges play a role too — people provide tangible financial support to relevant causes by purchasing them.

Within organizations, badges can be used as a recognition mechanism, acknowledging employee contributions and achievements, thereby enhancing a sense of belonging and pride.

Badges as Collectibles and Souvenirs

Enamel pins are a popular category of collectibles, often themed around pop culture, blending style with collectible value.

They are also frequently used to commemorate specific events or personal accomplishments, serving as tangible keepsakes of important moments.

As mediums of nostalgia, badges can preserve a memory, evoking fond recollections; simultaneously, they are common travel souvenirs, capturing the unique essence of a place or event.

Fashion and Popular Accessories

Badges are affordable yet highly personal fashion accessories that can inject unique style into everyday outfits, subtly expressing attitude.

They often resonate with social trends and cultural issues, becoming a vibrant and relevant means of expression.

Many artists and designers view enamel pins as wearable art, conveying creative concepts through a single, small badge.

Moreover, their ease of exchange and circulation makes them an interesting medium for social interaction, adding a new dimension to human connection.

Various Ways to Wear Enamel Pins

Enamel pins are versatile and can be worn in numerous ways, definitely not limited to clothing:

On the lapel of a jacket or coat

On the surface of a backpack or handbag

On a hat or beanie

On a scarf or bandana

On a lanyard or keychain

Conclusion: The Cultural Significance of Badges

Badges carry profound cultural meanings and are important mediums for individual expression and identity construction. They continue to play a role in social movements and popular trends, far beyond being mere simple fashion accessories.

In summary, badges are a powerful tool for connecting with others and expressing attitudes.

MINIMAL SPOILER WARNING, no plot revelations, but talking generally about the final act⚠️

The ending was perfect. Gooseworx said they ended the show how they wanted it to end, and with how much stress they got over some people in the fandom ruining it from evergone else means, they deserve to end it like that. Any spin off would honestly be milking it, disappointing me when I keep hearing people talk about it, and the ending was bittersweet and left open in a way that's great opportunity for canon-typical fanfiction. There's something amazing in passing source material from each other, from Goose taking it from Harlan Ellison and it being handed to us by Goose. Some people just see the plot as 'who, what happens, where, etc,' only for the suspense and they don't see the actual beauty in the show, with Goose saying it represented how there was meaning in stagnant life before the end of the show and how it was fulfilled. It was a beautiful story, gooseworx, thank you for everything.

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.

[animalphotorefs]

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.

[reo-speeddragon]

There's also MORPHO, a really good book series on anatomy by Michel Lauricella, with very clear explanations and sketches!

And for pose references, there's @adorkastock who shares a ton of them for free, with different models and props, and her website is amazing <3 you can also buy pose packs from her.

[haysey-draws]

Boosting as these free resources are how i learnt to draw. My GCSE art teacher told me i had no future in art and to stop 'wasting his time' with my imagination, which killed my passion for drawing for close to decade! I have NO art training, only what i have learnt from other artists online.

If i can learn you can too!

[hopelesslyshippingthem]

I am no great artist, but I can advicate that Firealpaca is a great free software for artists to begin on! It is very forgiving and I found it to be the reason I got a tablet at all. I've since moved on to Clip Studio Paint, but I will always be a lover of FA. It's just such a great starting point and it's free. Also, visit your local libraries for books on anatomy and so on. If you can find an artist you admire who does some step by step tutorials, use those!
