#So thanks for the ask! <3

hey clara how did you do this text /post/721568963713269760/claras-2k-followers-celebration-favorite the one that say Kendall Roy

sure! here's how i did the text for this gif:

first make the regular name. i used the Louis George Cafe font with these settings:

i also added a shadow with these settings (right-click the text layer, click Blending Options, then check off Drop Shadow)

that gives you this:

to add the initials behind it, make a similar layer with these settings, the style set to Bold Italic. and make sure the color is white! (i hid the other name layer just for now)

then change the Blending Mode to Difference:

now add the glow effect by right-clicking the layer, clicking Blending Options, and checking off Outer Glow. use these settings and make sure the Blend Mode at the top is also set to Difference.

now instead of being black and white, i want it to be blue. to do that, create a Gradient Map adjustment layer by clicking this button:

click on the gradient preview at the top right to change the colors. you have to set it to the darkest and lightest colors you want.

now, make a layer group and put just the initials text layer into it. put the Gradient Map layer right above the group, right-click it, and click "Create Clipping Mask"

now unhide all your other layers and you're set to go!

i hope this helps! let me know if you have any other questions :)

17 for the ask game?

Characters I relate to most, huh?

I’ll admit, this one’s a hard one. I sometimes misjudge myself, so I had to talk to my friends about this one and what they think. Plus, doing quizzes before have helped.

So, let’s break this down (partially to make sure it fits)

To start, my quiz result is always Nagi.

At first, I was honestly confused by this. I was like “okay, I’m a huge fangirl, but I’m not like that crazy of a fangirl. Nor do I see myself as serious as she often is (though I can be serious?? just not in the Nagi way.)

But I’ve learned that I am indeed like Nagi. I try my best to be an empathetic, understanding person. I’m not always the best at reading people offline like she is, but I can usually read people better online (…not always. Depends on their typing style and how open they are). Once I know people, I can even work out their reasons for acting the way they do, and whether or not I agree with them is another question entirely. Either way, people aren’t black and white, so even if I don’t agree with them, that understanding of how they think, what their feelings are, etc. helps me see the full extent of who they are. And that in turn helps me accept all parts of them, the good and the bad.

…wow, okay, just looking at that last paragraph, I can see why I got Nagi.

But anyway, what really sold me on being like Nagi? Is that despite all of this, despite trying my best to understand and get along with people… I’ve found that there really are types of people I just don’t get along with so well. Either because their talking style just doesn’t really click with me, or because they seem very closed off and I can’t tell much about them, or just something else that I can’t put my thumb on.

But anyway, despite that, I’m also not like pre-Game Nagi with how she is when confronted with characters like that. When it comes to people I don’t know, I try to be more like character #2…~

My fav, Shiki.

I put her as number 2 because I’m not exactly the same as her. I don’t know fashion, have never cared much about my looks or stuff like that compared to another, and… well basically, the main point of her character arc doesn’t quite fit me.

But what does is her heart.

Shiki is always a kind person, even to someone who treated her bad at first. She always tries to see the best in others, and she never gives up on people. I strive to be like that, even if I don’t always reach it. And back when I was more confident, I actually was the one who reached out to people first (as Kazea could tell you >.>’~). Sometimes, I still do that… I’m just not as confident with it as I used to be. DX’~

But yeah, even with the people I don’t get along with, I can usually see the best in them, or at least understand why they see things the way they do. And like Shiki, there comes a point where I do need to stand up for myself if I also feel disrespected… though I’m also quick to forgive and give another chance, too.

…All that said, when it comes to my writing projects, I’m the Eri who creates with no regard~ while Kazea’s definitely Shiki, noticing all my little mistakes. …and I don’t know what Sair is in that now, actually…??

But anyway, I’m sadly not as perfect as Shiki (or Nagi) in understanding others, ‘cause sometimes I do get salty and too into my online world, much like our boy Rindo~

…….and then while I try to understand others, I also tend to really suck at opening up and actually talking about my own emotions like Fret. Especially when I’m around people I don’t know well enough for that.

Being on the nostalgia train this week really helped stretching my artistic legs again. So here, have some old things and some new! For now I'm done with this.

AAAAA I just want to thank you so much for these drawings. I've always really wanted to learn chinese (I speak cantonese) and this has become a really great talking point for me and my mum. So thank you! You really make my day with these drawings. And I'm learning little bits of chinese along with it.

Could you do an egg tart dragon?

Hi, I saw your post about practicing drawing fat people and I was wondering if you could compile like a list of resources or references?

It can be difficult to find resources for drawing the wide variety of forms fat bodies can occupy, so I've done my best to bring together some resources I've been able to prove have some degree of diversity in the references they offer!

My primary resource recommendation for drawing fat people is Morpho Anatomy For Artists: Fat And Skin Folds! It does a wonderful job breaking down where fat accumulates on the body, how it interacts with the familiar landmarks of human anatomy, and what sort of shapes it tends to form under the influence of gravity. It's a phenomenal reference and my top recommendation for anyone seeking to improve at drawing fat people!

When it comes to finding decent photo references for fat people, the pickings are frustratingly slim. Most sites that specialize in pose references either don't have fat models or have all their images behind paywalls. Of the resources I looked through, the best sources for pose references were Adorkastock and Line of Action.

@adorkastock actively seeks to provide an incredible profile of pose references with diverse body types, and as an added bonus you can access a lot of their images for free on their site/Tumblr or join their patreon for early access to images! Line of action is a site aimed towards practicing figure drawing, providing images and a timed function to challenge artists to sketch within a set time limit. I took the time to go through roughly 300+ images and was pleased to find that during my session around two-to-three out of every ten photos were fat models. The only caveats to this was the fact that most of the images were of the same individual, limiting the applications for studying the variants of fat bodies. Still, it's an amazing tool that has a free mode and allows you to filter the types of references you want based on age and level of nudity.

Beyond sites that specialize in art reference photography, there's also the ever popular Pinterest, which is the site where I typically seek references for my personal studies. Due to the nature of Pinterest's extensive collection, there's a vast variety of references for different fat body types that includes a lot more "everyday" people. The primary issue with Pinterest however is the rampant reposting and lack of proper credits for images, which can make things dicey depending on how you wish to use the references you find. For personal studies this isn't really an issue, but for any sort of professional or paid work is something to be aware of just for the sake of accountability.

* For those who are 18+, porn photography of real people also offers an incredible wealth of visual resources for fat bodies and how they interact with gravity/movement/etc. The variety of positions and angles offer many opportunities to study human anatomy, and it's a pretty well-known fact that drawing NSFW art can be an important learning experience for those struggling with drawing anatomy. In the end, it depends on your personal level of comfort with viewing/drawing explicit images, but it's not something you should completely overlook.

Last but not least, look at the work of artists you admire who draw fat people! While I typically recommend sticking to photo references for learning anatomy, studying artist's portrayals of fat people is also incredibly helpful for learning different tactics for simplifying and/or stylizing fat bodies to better fit ones own style. There are also plenty of artists who've crafted tutorials detailing their approach to drawing fat folks, so I highly recommend you check them out as well! I hope the resources I've linked here can help you in your studies, and feel free to drop another ask if you have any more questions! I'm planning on posting a tutorial on how I do studies for fat people soon, so that will be an additional resource for you once I've got it posted!
