Howdy! I'm Sam/Webby, 24, They/Them. This blog is basically just for reblogging things I enjoy :> icon and banner by @eggingtontoast ! ๐Ÿ’™

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this ๐Ÿ‘‡

And this gem ๐Ÿ‘‡

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.

๐Ÿ“บHere is my list:

  1. Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)
  2. Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)
  3. Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)
  4. 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)
  5. Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
  6. Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)
  7. Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
  8. Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)
  9. SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
  10. Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
  11. The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)
  12. Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
  13. Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)
  14. Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)
  15. 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)
  16. Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)
  17. Pikat (art advice and critiques)
  18. Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)
  19. 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)
  20. 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.

๐Ÿ“šHere is my list:

  1. The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
  2. "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.
  3. "Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
  4. "Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
  5. "Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
  6. "Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
  7. "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.
  8. "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.
  9. "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.
  10. Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

๐Ÿ“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.

๐Ÿ’ปAs for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

  1. Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )
  2. Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)
  3. Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)
  4. PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
  5. Krita (Free)
  6. mypaint (free)
  7. FireAlpaca (free)
  8. Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)
  9. Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)
  10. IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)
  11. 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.

"also apologies for any spelling or grammar errors, I have Dyslexia and it makes my brain go XP when it comes to speech or writing"

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 youโ€™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.

Reblog if you're not homophobic

Apparently boomer Democrats are having meltdowns over a gen-z progressive who is primarying an 80 year old Democrat because she "went on trans podcasts" and wore a Charizard kigurumi

You can check her out here, but quick run down:

  • Universal single payer healthcare
  • Restore reproducive healthcare

  • Passing the Equality Act
  • Ending mass deportation

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I bring you sad news today. Murphy, the eagle who incubated a rock (and later raised a foster eaglet after his rock "hatched"), passed away at age 33 (almost a decade longer than long-lived wild eagles!). A tornado hit his local area. It's believed he sustained blunt force head trauma, likely from spooking during the high winds, as his cage and fellow eagles were unharmed.

Murphy is survived by his foster son, Baby 23-126, who was successfully released into the wild, and a second foster eaglet he was still caring for; this eaglet is expected to be able to be released as well.

I know a lot of people on Tumblr enjoyed seeing his story, and I know we will remember him fondly.

Not to make everyone sad again, but! I realized that just days before Murphy passed away, the eagles (Shadow and Jackie) who had hatched 3 eaglets lost one of them to a sudden, severe winter storm.

Now, I'm not saying that Murphy suddenly had somewhere else to be, but an eaglet passed away and an eagle known for how he took care of lost eaglets passed away just days later. I'm just saying. I'm just thinking if there's anything after death for eagles, maybe I hope they find each other.

She's also publicly stated that she believes that anyone who reads her books or watches her shows and films does so because they explicitly agree with her political views.

There's no "agree to disagree" with her work. Every time you pick up her work or talk about it you are saying to her "I agree with you Joanne" whether you like it or not.

Text: decoupling pregnancy from femininity means accurate and more inclusive language and treatment, but it also allows cis women to refuse motherhood without refusing womanhood, which is great for feminism and terrifying for misogyny.

โ€“THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS. As a sterile cis woman who doesnโ€™t want to have children anyway I feel this is every ounce of my being. โ€œDefine womanโ€ types tend to do so in a way that excludes me too, so I got to stand with my trans sisters.

Your periodic reminder that โ€œdivine feminineโ€ this โ€œmagic wombโ€ that is just patriarchy in gauze and glitter. REJECT THE BOX even when it has a makeover.

this is so bad but i permanently cropped the file so brutally that i can no longer edit it. whoops! also panels 4-7 were fully coloured but it looks better without for some reason. pomni (penny?) is such an ugly crier. i love my horrible failgirl accountant
