Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

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.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

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)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

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)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

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)

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.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"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.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"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.

"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.

"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.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝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.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

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.

Have legoshi and gouhin have moments where they showed they care a lot about each other

This moment has been in my head awhile and one I wanted to do for this response. Without outright saying it, they’re both saying that even with Legosi finding his family, it doesn’t need to change their dynamic. Gouhin says I will always think of you as my son and Legosi says I still want you to be my dad. 

For sadness, childhood trauma, murder, and why Gosha put Gouhin in jail, read below. 

So stuff happens. So you guys ask how Gouhin and Gosha felt about each other...not great. Gosha believes the black market needs to be eradicated and that Gouhin enables the problem. Not only that, he knew the autopsy report of Legosi’s mother very well, and she had what looked like medical lacerations. Gouhin is and was the only KNOWN doctor in the black market. So Gosha had him arrested for the suspected murder of Leano. This...did not...do good for our boy. He had a mental collapse. It becomes a whole thing where he has to prove Gouhin didn’t do it. He’s forcing himself to remember what happened and it comes with the painful emotions of that trauma. He gets help from Louis and the shinigami. Then it’s revealed that the shinigami has killed that surgeon. They went in for their payment and the guy came running out and was trying to shoot them. Filled him full of bullets and that was that. What they did not know is Legosi was there and saw the whole thing. He came there looking for her and had the shinigami not shown up, the dr would have shot Legosi. So after having a gun pointed at him and then witnessed the same man being turned into swiss cheese he leaves and it’s weeks later when Gouhin finds him. And then it’s a year later, when Leano was discovered in the bay. 

When Gouhin get’s let out (kind’ve to his disappointment. He had a pretty fun time there and did actually make friends and new patients), Gosha apologizes and thanks Gouhin and then the two have a talk about where to go from here and ultimately know it’s entirely up to Legosi. 

And the bamboo farm thing is my headcannon that Gouhin grew up a country boy. That’s it. I might make a comic of that story.

It's a dramatic and ominous cliffhanger for the update break, but it's also hilarious that Allison's frantic improvisational reaction was just to shove the worm in her mouth like a dog with a stolen steak.

Reading Classics be like:

Bro I’m really trying to sympathise with your repression, but could you please tone down the misogyny?

[thatdamnfrenchtoast]

They implemented a new feature on AO3 where you could curse or bless other users depending on if you liked their fics, and someone sent me a curse that blocked me from reading fics for the next 27 days and I got so pissed off I woke up.

Body Swap Au but the skills are still in Harry's body

Like Kim gets swapped into Harry's body but now all the skills are still there and are like "Oh.. Hey, yeah sorry about the mess" and Kim is like "oh, see this makes a lot more sense now." volition is like "oh fucking thank god another voice of reason in the hell house" Kims like "actually secretly im a fucking absolute disaster, sorry"

Harry is probably the closest we've ever come to playable Dril in a video game
