pre-1980s craft books: this is the correct equipment. this is the correct ergonomic setup. this is the correct technique to achieve this result. here's a progression of increasingly difficult projects that will teach you the foundational skills of the craft.
modern craft books: idk, you do you. whatever you feel like :) there's no wrong way as long as it makes you happy :) i'm not going to tell you anything. here are some pretty pictures :)
#this is about so many crafts btw#but in particular#weaving#and#bobbin lace#there are obviously good modern books too#it's just impossible to tell from the covers if it's a useful book or a book of pretty pictures and vague inspirational statements about AR

Band of Brothers (2001) + dog tags
The tag itself individualizes the human being who wears it, despite his or her role as a small part of a huge and faceless organization. While the armed forces demand obedience and duty to a higher cause, dog tags, hanging under service members’ shirts and close to their chests, remind them of their individuality. - Library of Congress, Dog Tags: History, Stories & Folklore of Military Identification

"JK Rowling can't write world building" my arse. There's like an entire book in those few sentences
#jkr#hp#also i just appreciate the layers to this#like on one hand: there's someone pranking muggles by making toilets explode at them which - contextless - is pretty hilarious#some poor wizard officer is gonna have to investigate toilets that poop BACK. he's gonna have a map showing london neighbourhoods#with little toilet shaped pins. where will the culprit strike next???#but then you remember that this is also the book where voldemort is back (even if he's hiding)#and fudge's ministry is pretending he isn't and the anti-muggle sentiment isn't real or on the rise or anything#suddenly the anti-muggles prankster is not so funny anymore#also 'it's too trivial for aurors' (because who cares? it's just muggles getting covered in poop after all)#and mr weasley who works with 'muggle artefacts' has one colleague and they're crammed in a windowless office#subtlety!!! we love to see it!! (well i do. i suppose i shouldn't expect that from the average YA reader..)

Hello! You mentioned you took requests, so could I perhaps request Horizon Duo (Sky+Four) doing something together? Napping, chatting about birds, Sky toting Four around like a stuffed animal, protecting each other in battle, etc? :3
Sorry this one took so long! I wasn't sure if you wanted art or a fic, but I couldn't get a fic rolling so I just drew it? Between the hands, birds, and Four's pose being very very weird and now just not working at all, it took me a bit, but it's done now! (just don't look too close LOL)

Drawing Crimson and Zeffa was not something I thought I could do, so thanks for the push!
#Ketto draws#asks and answers#linked universe#linkeduniverse#lu four#lu sky#my sister nearly murdered me over this one#I apparently gave sky “godly thighs”#and then I put pants on him and I swear she was gonna strangle me for covering it#lol#ah#the troubles of drawing#four is a prime example too#I underestimated how much room there was between his face and the ground#but he came out so pretty!#I had to build his pose around everything else#and I didn't dare erase his face because there was NO WAY I was getting it that good again#so his pose is weird#sorry ab that

@midoyuzuweek day 7 | christmas / wedding / free day
mdyz christmases you will always mean everything to me. decided to give lineless art a shot again after how many years and it was pretty fun!! also i lied when i said the ghostic piece was my favorite actually cause this was extremely fun to draw
ideally this wouldve been the last day but because i am sick and twisted theres one more tomorrow 👍 beware
#duck scribbles#enstars#mdyzweek2025#midoyuzu#yuzuru fushimi#midori takamine#yuzumido#ensemble stars#the depression is eating me alive i think and this week has been some solace but if i go missing for a while dont worry too much abt it#xmas live youll always be famous......#last time i tried lineless/smth akin to painting was like 2022?? im pretty sure.but this time it feels a lot more like just regular lineart#with added stuff on top. Lineart Two if you will. and i had an absolute blast (i love lineart)#ink pen my lovely wife i missed you i am so sorry for abandoning you all these years#the art pencil brush is too satisfying ive neglected you for so long in favor of it#also screw you flambe outfit for that annoying design at the back. it got covered up anywaysssss argh#ughhhhhhh i dont wanna do assignments and midterms. i have to lock in again.... i dont wanna....#other than getting to do this ship week its honestly been Incredibly Indescribably Excruciatingly Miserable for me for the last seven#or so days. or i guess its been a few weeks already. this thread is so close to snapping but feck it we ball i guess#at least theres fictional characters to get me through the fact this sorry excuse of a government reinstated martial law#hate it here

to celebrate ichimatsu month it is time for me to post fat ichimatsu in cat lingerie
#my art#ichimatsu#do i need to tag or label this as anything or can we all be chill about this. the naughty parts are covered ok?#anyway this is a little old. these days i would've added hair but when i drew this i firmly believed in the symbolism of them being#hairless = physical signifier that they never really grew up and became adults#however i've recently found a way to make them being hairy have thematic significance too so now im all powerful#since the idea that their baby faces (physical signifier that they never truly grew up) could grow hair (evidence of the inevitable passage#of time and proof that they can't live off of the memory of their glory days anymore) is pretty funny#and it'd be foolish to not draw them like that at least sometimes#i promise next time i'll draw fat boys better#suggestive#tw suggestive#osmt

Happy summer! I finally got around to organizing the spots i drew for the Poképlanner Project last year 🌞
Each page is based on one of the five Alola islands - special thanks to my irl friend who’s super knowledgeable about pokémon and let me pick her brain :)
(no reposts; reblogs appreciated)
#ft. my procrastination haha oops#my art#artists on tumblr#digital art#fanart#zine stuff#team rocket#pokemon#alola region#pokemon sun and moon#pokemon sm#help idk what to tag theres too much going on#i got my planner and it's so so pretty#so obviously i can’t bring myself to use it#ur saying im supposed to cover up all the beautiful pages with assignments?? um no thanks#idk that much abt pokemon but i loved all the lore i stumbled upon while fine-combing the Alola wiki#like wdym each island has its own crest?? that's so cool and also convenient for background art purposes#spot illustrations dont seem like a lot until u have to sketch/layout/color/render FIVE PAGES of them#worth it to build those art muscles tho!!#fun fact i finished these while on vacation in mexico and running a fever#the perfect tropical island vibes were right outside i couldn't help myself :)

2024 reads / storygraph
This Fatal Kiss
spooky whimsical YA fantasy romance
a water nymph bound to the river where she drowned desperately wants to become human again, by gaining a freely-given kiss from a mortal
a brooding boy from the local town who exorcises meddlesome spirits is constantly trying to get rid of her - but after he messes up an exorcism she blackmails him into playing matchmaker for her
….but he also has a crush on the boy she chooses (who has secrets of his own)
bisexual MCs, developing polyamorous relationship
#this fatal kiss#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#bisexual books#polyamorous books#his is so fun I enjoyed it a lot!#it’s reasonably low stakes and is cute and whimsical but with some darker elements#and some very endearing characters#There’s a few things I wanted answers about - but clearly it’s going to be a duology#so I guess I’ll have to wait. I feel like it *could* have wrapped things up as a standalone if it wanted to though#some nods to The Dark Tide too (the MC is from there)#I enjoyed all the queerness and bisexuality plus some brief interesting moments of gender thoughts even from the ostensibly cis MCs#(i say ostensibly cis - she does actually pretty explicitly say she has no feelings about gender but it's just easier to be a girl)#(also says she's love to be a big buff guy at some point. but it's not really explored)#I assume this will be a part of book 2 but uhhh I couldn’t stop thinking about alexi’s body. like. iykyk. r we gonna address that#also LOVE THE COVER

"Fuck you."
I've been re-reading What Lies Between Sorrow and Longing and since I am unwell about this entire fic I drew a scene from Chapter 4
#dh#dishonored#knifecrow#corvodaud#corvo attano#daud#daud dishonored#this is such a good scene. the Tension#enjoy my shitty attempts at drawing transversals#reminds me#comic#ert#there I put my tags in#experimenting with style with this one it was a lot of fun#kept me a little more sane since Ive been pretty unwell these past few days and not in an insane over the fic way#its such a good fic tho... like so good#I know corvo doesnt take his hand in the story but grabs his wrist but shhh let me live my dreams#should I @ the author? I know they have a tumblr but I dont wanna bother them#either way go read the fic#I was slightly drunk and listening to AtR's cover of Hibana the entire time I was drawing this. great song for the fic too#some of the scenes in this fic made me cry so hard it made me violently ill so theres your heads up
