Someone said no one would ever read my book because there’s no love triangle. Prove them wrong?
This one was a popular demand. Many people people asked me about anatomy tips.
I know how hard this topic is and how confusing at the beginning. It’s just so much to learn! Exactly! I remember how lost I was in the beginning and trying out things that actually didn’t help me understand anatomy better.
Actually what I want to convey here is that you can learn to draw human without learning all the muscles and bones. My personal opinion, based on experience is actually that you can do that as something extra. Learning muscles and bones won’t help you draw. True story.
If you grasps few essential concepts first you will be better off, plus you will be actually drawing characters. You will be more confident in your lines and gain knowledge that will be enough to create artwork you want.
Look at body as any other object you want to draw. Simplifying and remembering the simplest ideas is way to go.
Remember: these few ideas I am presenting are just a tip of an iceberg. As you will progress you will expand your knowledge beyond few essential points.
This is my personal approach so I can’t say it will work for you. I know that it works for me
Hope you like it!
Are you constantly wanting to do A Thing but never know how to do The Thing?
Does figuring out where to start a task and knowing what steps need to be taken to complete the task stress you out?
Lemme introduce you to...
For example, you want to clean your oven.
You simply go to the website and in the "Add new item" box, you type "clean the oven". You can then also use the lil chillies next to the plus to change the level of breaking-down you'd like. Next, hit the magic wand-looking button to break it down!
You can check off items as you go, and further break things down if desired!
It works on large tasks such as planning a cross-country trip, writing a book or going on vacation and smaller tasks such as cleaning an oven.
There's also tools for task time estimation, meal-prep that takes into account dietary constraints, equipment and such, and a braindump compiler.
It's available as an IOS/Android app for less than a dollar, or a free web app. I can't hype this up enough, the developers deserve so much love for this.
got an interview tomorrow
It’s one thing to have seen that giant metal suit and hear that there is a version of Barry inside of it, it’s quite another thing when you actually come face-to-face with what’s inside… seeing the scar and the milky white eye, but also seeing the person that you love be so twisted. Barry Allen, who probably has the gentlest soul of all of the characters in the Arrowverse, to just see how far he could fall, he’s both terrifying, but it’s also heartbreaking

6th April marks the first celebration of IAD which has been organised by various groups around the world.
Happy International Asexuality Day! Today is a day for celebrating all people who identify under the asexual umbrella and spreading awareness about their experiences.
A number of ace organisations worked together to make April 6th 2021 the very first International Asexuality Day.
The themes of today are:
• Advocacy
• Celebration
• Education
• Solidarity
• Feeling little to no sexual attraction
Some asexual people also feel no romantic attraction. This is known as aromantic.
However, some asexual people do feel romantic attraction. This is broadly known as alloromantic, but can be more specific such as biromantic (romantically attracted to two or more genders but experience little/no sexual attraction).
Here’s just a few identities within the asexual umbrella:
Demisexual - someone who does not experience sexual attraction until they have formed a deep emotional connection with someone
Grey-asexual – someone who feels sexual attraction weakly, infrequently, or in specific contexts
Aceflux – someone whose sexual orientation fluctuates but generally stays on the asexual spectrum
Lithosexual – someone who does experience sexual attraction but does not want it reciprocated. Person may be uncomfortable at the thought of someone being sexually attracted to them, or they may lose their sexual feelings if they learn it's reciprocated.
Fraysexual – when someone only experiences sexual attraction towards those that they are not deeply connected with, and lose that attraction as they get to know the person.
• Combats acephobia
• Challenges normativity
• Helps provide support
• Feelings of connectedness and community ; feel less alone
• Dispel myths and misunderstandings
• Help normalise asexuality and other LGBTQ+ identities
• Representation ; increasing visibility
• Helps highlight the issues faced
• Celebrating people on the asexual spectrum
Process of my latest drawing from very quick sketch to shading and line work. I am trying to get back into art after a long break and drawing my fav character is helping. Critics are welcomed since since this was a really hard pose and lighting even with reference.
Captain America: Civil War AU (Manip)
Let’s be honest, if Peggy were around, Civil War would never have happened.
I get so caught up in my head that it eats away at me. I believe the worst is going to happen because it always has. I always have these “what’s ifs” that drive me crazy and make me miserable. I create trouble in my head that isn’t even there and get myself worked up. I just want to shut it off and not overthink everything to death. To just live in the moment.
Chapters from my life (via melindacarolinee)
Original Work: RWBY Relationship: Qrowin (Set season 4) A/N: I wanted to write about Winter’s reaction to Weiss’ actions at the party, then Qrowin happened due to a post/prompt I saw. ((http://gardenoffish.tumblr.com/post/154388438241/person-a-walks-into-the-room-and-sees-person-b )) Enjoy.

It was sometime around midday when Winter received the news; about the incident concerning her sister at Father’s latest ‘charity function’ from General Ironwood.
Now it was approaching dusk and with a swipe of her hand, the Atlas specialist smeared her military issued training clothes, with the evidence of her labor.
Step forward. Lunge. Deflect. She moved with the precision and focus that had pushed her through the ranks at such a young age.
Inhale through the nose. Exhale through the mouth. Concentrate.
Arm straining forward, light pulsed forth and at her command she called on yet another summons to attack the training bots ahead.
As she has told Weiss, summoning was like a muscle and needed to be exercised properly. But today, she was pushing herself beyond what was necessary.
Her aura strained against the abuse but she took no heed of it, allowing the anger and irritation at the upper echelons of the Altlesian society to spur her onwards.
Separating her second blade form it’s hidden sheath, she slashed downwards, carving twin lines of pent up emotion into solid metal.
Jump back. Rise. Lea-
Without warning, exhaustion weighed down on her like the unrelenting sun of the menagerie desert. She stumbled; only to catch herself in a low crouch, with a hiss of frustration.
Blast it. Blast it!
Often disapproving of foul language (even within her own head) she found herself mentally cycled through each and every curse that she had ever heard during her service.
She sunk down as gracefully as she could manage - the shameful weakness of her limbs making her put up with the discomfort, of lying on of the unforgiving ground.
Time was an abstract thing right then, as she began to recollect herself. At least, until an annoyingly familiar voice rang out across the large space.
“Tough day, Ice Queen?”
And just where was - there!
Perched on a high beam, was what would be in other circumstances, an uninteresting sight. A black bird, surveying the land below.
Not bothering to answer aloud, Winter waited while watching, with admittedly a little interest, as Qrow shifted into his common form. When finished, she politely shifted her grey eyes to gaze upwards at the curved ceiling.
A brisk nod (which rewarded her with a pulsating headache) was her reply.
Being unusually tactful for once, Qrow lay down alongside her in a show of solidarity (and was that…affection? Or was she just hallucinating?)
Still, the regularity of his breathing was more calming then it had any right to be. Perhaps, this was why his nieces so clearly adored him, despite his less than savory habits?
Taking this rare opportunity to sneak a proper look at the man, she found herself cataloging each and every visible wound, no matter how small. (And oh, how she hated those monsters, that were now roaming the land with ever increasing frequency, since the fall of Beacon).
Not having the energy, necessary to question just what on Remnant he was doing here of all places, she accepted whatever courtesy this was that the Huntsman was offering.
During however long it was, that the two of them stayed there, like schoolchildren that neither of them still were, she vowed to herself that she would lessen her sharp comments concerning Qrow’s drinking. If he was allowing her obvious failure at keeping her composure, just now, through recklessness to slide, she supposed she could do the same with his own faults.
The life of those on the battlefield are harsh, after all, no matter who you are.
And later on, removed from all of her other concerns, maybe she’d even admit, that having him next to her…felt rather nice.
END.
