#do a master study

if you ever go to an art gallery and you see a painting and you think "that sucks. I could do that." maybe you can! I think a lot of people could do like. Matisse. Mondrian. Rothko. From a technical standpoint at least. Not everyone but a good number of people. But please consider: Artists™ aren't special people. They're just people. Just regular folks with something to say and a trained skill who showed that skill to the right people.
So instead of being like "that sucks! that's dumb! I could do that. It shouldn't be in a gallery." instead try, "I could do that. I should be in a gallery." and then do it and go and show your art to people.
#do a master study#how did it look? pretty okay? cool u have the technical skillset. find something to say with ur art. say it. go show it to people.#good is so so so subjective and '''technical''' '''mastery''' is meaningless ultimately#I am still beefing with Damien Hirst tho if you're Damien Hirst this post is not about you#get better at taxidermy Damien

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 1: Dread on Arrival
(Part 2)
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#jiang fengmian#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#Yungmeng Jiang Training Arc AU#MDZS AU#The AU name for this idea is something I am 100% willing to change if someone has a better one.#There will be at least 2-3 more comics so *please*. Ideas and feedback welcome.#The core idea behind this AU is that LWJ goes to study with the Yunmeng Jiang sect instead of JC and WWX going to Cloud Recess#But why? Well I imagine Lan Xichen set it up to give LWJ a challenge (more social than skill based) and LWJ rose to it (begrudgingly)#Sort of a 'You've mastered so many Lan techniques but Other Sects have styles that are worth learning.' set up.#Lan Qiren agrees mostly on the basis that...well it's LWJ. Yunmeng Jiang is unruly but LWJ is beyond that riff-raff. He'll rise above it.#This is the story of a boy who thrives on routine and rules spending time in a place that is his apparent antithesis.#Also it is so warm there. He is used to it being cold and what do you MEAN just take off some of my layers?#I just want to see him struggle and flail in many situations. And get him in Jiang Purple. Is that so wrong of me?#(Soaking wet JC is part of my 'JC was born to swim; forced to hold a sword' agenda. Do not remove him from the water)#((Politeness notes: JFM would *not* call LWJ 'lan wangji' nor would LWJ be vocally impolite to a sect leader.))

some arcane portrait studies :3 this show is ruining my life
#arcane#was gushing over the art direction the entire time i was watching and then i realized.#the easiest way to integrate elements of an art style into yours is to emulate it#maybe master studies Are really helpful#arcane viktor#viktor arcane#arcane sevika#sevika arcane#arcane silco#silco arcane#do you guys use both tags for the characters or is one more popular#id in alt text

Doing master studies the only way I know how: Stealing them and making them my guys.
(Barberini Faun)
(The Fallen Angel - Alexandre Cabanel)
(Covent Garden - William Bruce Ellis Rankin)
#obviously. not actually theft...#i was gonna say these are public domain but covent garden actually isnt yet#it will be. in two years.#thats the most different one though like i added a whole new guy..#maybe not the most different. barberini faun is pretty different i just took the post#pose#its barely even a study. thats not true#but. what was i saying.#oh its not theft it's study... the purpose is to learn!!! but also. if im gonna spend like 2 days on something...#its GONNA be my guys#otherwise. idk. i only want to spend 30 or so minutes per study#just to get the notes down and the practice for the skill im working on#i dont get all that much more out of completely rendering a master study. PERSONALLY.#at least definitely not enough to be worth taking 100x longer#but making them my characters makes it worth going all the way!!!#plus it's good practice w like. not just going 1:1 but actually genuinely interpreting whats there so i can manipulate it...#again. personally. this is just how i worm#WORK#youd better worm bitch#uhm... anyways yeah. ive done lots of study but why TF share it LMAO i dont even save it#its just to learn. ive got 1 million other drawings to save and look at later.#once the learning is done it's done its job and i have no need anymore#this is why the only studies i have are from school. i had to save and upload them#well. ok also i dont study as much now BUT in my defense im a full time artist#an hour or so a week is different ok im learning while working too.. i learned how to learn and i do it all the time now#master studies#digital art#my art#illustration#my ocs

I had a thought today about all that vampires lose in the twilight lore. Sure sure they’re fast and strong and invulnerable BUT they lose the chance to earn things because of that. The Cullens are rich but like…that just happens when you invest for three centuries. They can lift incredible amounts of weight…but just by nature and not because they’ve built up to it. They build projects and make paintings and learn…but they will always lack the satisfaction that comes from managing those accomplishments amidst the regular demands of life. Edward was seventeen…he never got the chance to earn anything by the sweat of his brow or the burning of the midnight oil.
Beyond just the bloodlust, they miss out on the regular daily challenges that make our time and pleasure meaningful. Something that is easily overlooked by teenagers reading a love story but honestly something heartbreaking to contemplate.
#twilight#the twilight saga#edward cullen#tts#tts discourse#to be clear I don’t think this robs them of all opportunity for meaningful work#but simply that our flow of time is dictated in some large degree#by the difficulty of the tasks we pursue and the effort made#also our brains are not wired to live without physical effort it makes you crazy#and it just seems like a form of torture to me now (as an adult)#to run great distances without ever getting tired#to read and study with perfect recall and no effort required to master the subject#to be removed from all the essential rhythms of daily life permanently…I do think in actuality all vampires would end up insane#it would break anyone

What am I to do, love, loved one? I don't know how others love or how people loved in the past. I live, watching you, loving you.

I know you haven’t posted Transformers in a while but I just wanted you to know that I appreciate your Transformers content a lot. Both because your art is beautiful to look at and because you have seemingly pissed off at least a couple MTMTE fans and I find them Annoying, so seeing them mad is refreshing and makes you extra swag to me. I also appreciate you respecting Galvatron and Megatron as the loser men they are. Very nice work
thank you, that is very sweet <333 I respect the rights of goofy cartoon villains to be as funny and evil as they can be. I'm coincidentally in the middle of painting these two again
have I pissed off mtmte fans lmao?? 😭 funny if true
#im just out here drawing my rarepair#i cannot imagine my mtmte opinions being so outrageous that it makes people seethe#tg being a stupid baby and megs becoming annoying and soylent is empirical fact#btw if that new galvatron cartoon thats coming out turns out to be really bad..... or god forbid a toddler-show....#it will be joever for me as galvs number 1 lobbyist#and yes ofc the dialogue in the speech bubble on my ref image is canonical <3#ive been doing daily gesture drawings + occasional master studies for almost a month now. locking in.#i havent been posting bc all i draw is my gay ass ocs.. and im too embarassed to post them loool#my art

Mixed media on A3 watercolour paper.
I've been doing an art project with asemic (wordless) writing for the past 5 weeks. Still have some weeks left to make more.
The first batch (1-11) is explorations on what makes something look like writing (and when it stops looking like writing), with a variety of styles and writing systems.
The second batch (12-30) are art pieces using my own original phonetic writing system, exploring different designs, trying to get a wide variety of looks that appeal to me.
#traditional art#asemic writing#word art#artists on tumblr#yes this is part of my master's studies#but we were free to explore any specific phenomenon we wanted#and I ended up with asemic writing because of fantasy alphabets#and am actually having a lot of fun with doing this#i've made a variety of alphabets over the years#but the one i've used for this is my favourite and the best one tbh

Dear friends: please talk me out of this. I do not have the time or chops for this. Tame little garden trees are still in my WIP pile for looking stupid, i will absolutely fumble this one too.
Send help, my muse thinks I’m the painter i want to be instead of the painter I am. /genuine

is sugishita a big silly stupid dumdum?
my staunch belief is that sugishita is NOT DUMB. hes pretty smart, actually. somehow i fell into the illusion of sugishita being a dumbass, which, of course he is, but, like, hes not dumb, or super naive, or an idiot (an archetypical baka) (affectionate) the way sakura is. see: sugishita not falling for suo's bullshit
extremely unimpressed
but he gloats a little too much about this... maybe hes usually pretty baka stupid but not as much as sakura.
his favorite subject is chemistry! dumdum heads like sakura or kaji either have 0 or have PE as their favorite subject. even if hes interested in it because of gardening, he knows the material.
so heres what i think: i think he gets average grade. ok grades. which is great for somebody who go to bofurin and sleep through class since the 2nd grade. in a normal high school, he would be a good ole just-below-average to average to barely-above-average student. in furin, this would probably put him at the upper quartile of his class. being quiet and socially awkward doesnt mean hes a big dumdum in everything else. hes not good at expressing himself, yes -- i think sugishita's development will likely center around him learning how to express himself and may end with him helping somebody else articulating their feelings, or (framed as unexpectedly) stepping up to a leadership role temporarily, like in a fight -- but, like, that doesnt make him dumb. a stereotypical teenage boy is bad at words but good at science, for example.
heres my headcanon/fanfique(tm): it would be so funny if sugishita is the only one to go to college after graduation. he scores perfectly average in every subject, except for chemistry, which hes solidly miles above average. not genius, not once-in-a-lifetime talent, not award-winning even, but he starts off college already knowing two years worth of a chemist education.
which confound everyone who sees his grades and read his applications. suo and kiryuu passionately discussed and strategized on how sugi can get into college, from local ones to travel-to-tokyo ones, and suo even flirted with the idea of sugi getting into utokyo (too far from home, sugi absolutely cannot be left to his own device in a metropolitan area, chance of getting in ~1%). their homeroom teacher and guidance counselor almost went bald deciding how they should write his recommendation letter (quiet but helpful? righteous anger? he-looks-scary-but-hes-a-good-kid-we-promise?). they werent even sure if he was at college-reading level going into third year (nirei helped. a lot.) at the end, they settle at the nearest college in town, which is fine and decent enough that they harbored some doubt if sugishita is going to get in. umemiya encouraged sugi to apply to several places (just in case).
to the surprise of most (but not suo, kiryuu, or umemiya), sugishita got into college. its a fine one. its close enough that he still lives at home, go to college full time, and work part-time at whatever establishment umemiya now works at (my headcanon is that he starts a farm. kiryuu uses his nepo baby money to be the primary stakeholder). sugi's grades in college is good enough that he contemplated getting a phd at some point. but then he decided, nah, and follow the agricultural science track, graduate, maybe get a masters, and work at the farm with ume-senpai. sometimes, when the local elementary school go to visit, ume pressured sugi into giving them a chemistry-focused tour.
andddd this is basically a fanfic. maybe i'll write it someday.
#no more Backstory Speculations. lets move to#Can These Children Make It To Higher Education Speculations#in sugishita's case. yes. i believe in him.#having “furin high school” in his transcript surely confounded every college committee in japan but its fine. his grade is ok.#wbk#wind breaker#sugishita kyotaro#yes i love farmer ume. theres no other option. he loves planting he loves farming hes singlehandedly reviving the agricultural workforce#my roomie and i were talking about it#ume would absolutely give vegetables to the orphanage for free#and hold barbeque parties on the farm every month#u know. chika is kinda autistic-core. i think he'd enjoy being a farmer too.#how did ume start a farm u may ask#of course. its from kiryuu's nepo baby money bag. he convinced his fathers/brothers company (board) to invest in Local Agriculture#and funded the opening of the farm#he doesnt give a shit if its profitable or not. they can lose 10mil a month for all he cares. but he believes in Agriculture#how did kiryuu managed to convince his fathers/brothers? tax breaks#do i think the other children can get into college? of course suo kiryuu and nirei can#side notes my hc is that nirei's and sugi's average grade is about the same. nirei's being slightly higher perhaps#but will they?#kiryu: no. fuck college. fuck the establishment. maybe he'll go to beauty school or something. or just enjoy the generational wealth#i love unemployed kiryuu so much u cant imagine#on a second thought: gender studies student kiryuu (lol. fuck u dad.) or pro-gamer kiryuu.#i can see suo and nirei going for college maybe. but suo doesnt seems like he has that aspirations. nirei could go for journalism.#u dont need a degree to be a childrens author <3 or to be a martial arts master#well this is getting real long#wbk_misc.txt
