hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Today I learned 3D animation is a horror show outside the camera's field of view.

This animation without the filter because it fucked with the framerate for some reason (this isn't the intended look otherwise, but bleh)

Drawing for a friend. They showed me a picture of one of the outfits they threw together and I couldn't help myself but to recreate it. I used Procreate's Cygnet brush and a bunch or layer adjustments for the whole thing, which isn't my usual but it was fun to play around with perspective using texture!

I hope this gives you a little euphoria, friend 🧡

Don't Make a Silly Mistake

Steamboat Willie is now in public domain.

Mickey Mouse?

That's a Trademark.

If you think that the Disney lawyers who specialize in trademark have not been preparing for this, you may be making an expensive mistake.

What level/kind of pressure do you believe will eventually result in cease-firing? what should we do ?

i don't know what we should do but this is the last thing refaat alareer, who was just killed by a targeted israeli strike in gaza alongside his family asked for:

"More pressure on the media more coverage more Palestinian voices more protests"

just more, more, more. what everyone is doing is already good. just keep doing it.

both drawn to life books are free to read on archive.org?? and downloadable as pdf???? what!! YO HOLY SHIT

a coworker yesterday was asking me about these behind my chair, and gun to my head, if you asked me what was the single best drawing book of all time -- it'd be these. there's a reason i keep them in irl arm's length.

not to toot my horn but i get a lot of comments about "believable life"/body language in my drawings, and i owe that to this book. Walt Stanchfield -the author- was one of the main mentors to a ton of the rennaisance era disney animators (Glen Keane, Musker, Deja, etc). this guy understands both the kinectic sense of how bodies move and squish/stretch, and how people "act", and composition/silhouette, and is honestly just a thoroughly decent dude.

some screenshots!
