when people ask where you see yourself in 10 years
Someday there’s going to be a historical American Girl doll named Emma or Ella or some shit and she’s gonna have sillybands and get her Netflix DVDs delivered in the mail and be so fucking excited about getting her flip phone for her 10th birthday all because she was born in like 2003 and I’m not ready for that.
gen z isn’t just that high school kid who makes tik toks. it’s also the graduating college kid who made vines and the kids entering middle school who play roblox. we have the range, darling.
ideas of exercises to help with your practical art skills, as well as things to keep in mind while making art and new ways to find inspiration:
draw every day
recreate a drawing you did before, but better
draw something using only simple geometric shapes
do studies of famous artworks
listen to artists explain their work, it’s super interesting
take life drawing classes (or use online photo resources)
find an artwork you love, and work out why
draw caricatures of friends
set a 1 minute timer and draw an object as quickly as possible
draw something you can’t see, eg. music, emotion
research artists you admire and find out how they work
think about composition: what stands out, what recedes etc.
find a famous artwork you hate and work out why
sit outside and draw the landscape
copy a photo exactly
draw a scene from a film
draw the contours of an object not the outline
visit an art exhibition near you
draw your bedroom
look up tutorials online - there’s so many useful ones!
practise creating contrast between light and dark in pictures
research colour theory
do a self portrait
learn about art history! Research different movements etc.
try a new medium
consider the feeling you want to portray with the artwork
draw without looking at the page
draw a character from a book you’ve read
draw something you don’t usually draw
look at your pictures in the mirror to help you see problems better
follow artists and galleries on instagram for inspo
draw an ugly object in a beautiful way
try using only bold, bright colours
plan your colour palette before starting an artwork, and stick to it!
if you usually work in 2D, make something in 3D
always remember to add shadows
draw an object which is important to you
use 5 lines to depict an object, make every line count
draw using negative space
always draw from life when possible!
think carefully about which direction the light is coming from
study proportions and anatomy!!
draw your pet
research items symbolic meanings in art
make an art blog to compile images that inspire you
draw using only straight lines
try accentuating any subtle colours in an image
draw models from fashion websites
sketch with friends! They always have great ideas
keep drawing even if you find it hard, you improve with every mistake!

Good luck! xx
I. Am. Disgusted. SIGNAL BOOST this!! This is unacceptable! We need to remember what pride is and what we stand for.
Why are we silent???
Animal Crossing: New Horizons (March 20, 2020)
If you haven’t heard there is a literal massacre going on in Sudan.
People are getting kidnapped, arrested, raped and killed. This has been going on for a few days now but naturally there’s hardly any media coverage.
THE WORLD CARES MORE ABOUT AN EMPTY CHURCH IN FRANCE THAN HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT BLACK MUSLIMS DYING IN SUDAN.
There are a few ways to help:
- Emergency Medical Aid Donation
- Facebook campaign raising funds for food and other necessities
- International Rescue Committee
- Save The Children
Even if you can’t donate please help spread the news!!

um… white privilege.

I’m so happy more opportunities are coming up! Scholarships are in effect a gift of free cash. Free cash is very popular in every society and nation. So the applicant and recipient of scholarship money has worked very hard and has much to offer our society and is a deserved winner. It is still a free cash gift… GET IT!
These presentations shows you how to write a winner scholarship:

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
Reblog if you actually give a shit about anyone who’s suicidal or depressed.
No one should scroll past this
“The double agent for the patriarchy is basically just a woman who perhaps unknowingly is still putting the patriarchal narrative out into the world. Is still benefitting off, profiting off and selling a patriarchal narrative to other women. But it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. You know, just because you look like a woman, we trust you and we think you’re on our side, but you are selling us something that really doesn’t make us feel good. You’re selling us an ideal, a body shape, a problem with our wrinkles, a problem with ageing, a problem with gravity, a problem with any kind of body fat. You’re selling us self-consciousness. The same poison that made you clearly develop some sort of body dysmorphia or facial dysmorphia, you are now pouring back into the world. You’re like recycling hatred. I find that really dangerous and I think it’s unacceptable and I don’t care if you’re a woman. I think constructive criticism is needed for anyone to ever evolve. For our gender to evolve we need some sort of constructive criticism. As long as we do it in a somewhat careful way. (…) So many of the worst things in the world have happened motivated by greed. And I just don’t think that’s an acceptable excuse anymore. How much money do you need? Really how much money do you need? How much money do any of these huge influencers who are worth millions or billions sometimes… why are they still promoting appetite-suppressant lollipops to young girls? And it’s not a fight against obesity. They have young, already slim girls, in their adverts for Flat Tummy company, this company that are absolutely everywhere, and they’re even being advertised in some of the most mainstream magazines, women’s magazines, and they have a billboard in Times Square. The money is built on the blood and tears of young women who believe in them, who follow them, who look up to them like the big sister they never had. It’s so upsetting and it feels like such a betrayal against women.”

This is from the forecast discussion of Major Hurricane Florence from this afternoon. As a meteorologist, when I saw this, my heart sank. They don’t use wording like this for every storm.
Florence is going to be a devastating. There will be huge amounts of flooding, both from inland rain and from costal storm surge. Winds are going to be some of the strongest you can get from a hurricane. People within the path of this storm could lose everything.
If you know anyone who lives on the North or South Carolina coast, tell them that if there’s an evacuation ordered, they need to get the hell out. Do not take chances with this one.

“because i’m literally a communist.” —a mood for literally everyday, but especially this morning after ash sarkar roasted piers morgan alive on national television
This is important hello (x)
i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.
i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……
southern europe is burning.
my country is burning.
people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.
yesterday my country had 300 active fires.
people are losing EVERYTHING they own.
i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.
and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish.
i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately.
but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?
again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:

Save Your Internet
My friends, some of you might already know this. Especially if you live in the EU. In case you don’t know what’s going on, here’s a lil summary:
Basically the European Council and the European Commission are currently working towards the European version of Net Neutrality. Kind of.
There’s a provision called Article 13 mandating that everything that’s uploaded to the internet should be monitored and deleted if it seems to violate Copyright. Sounds like a good idea; no one wants their content stolen, right? Problem is, this requires filtering systems which small online platforms won’t be able to provide. So they most likely will have to shut down. This would lead to a very restricted version of the internet, where only big platforms would have the chance to exist. Plus sharing gifs, memes, fan art, or remixes would be prohibited because of copyright. It wouldn’t make a difference if you link your source of inspiration, it would simply be illegal.
If you want further information, just use google. Or take a look at this neat webiste saveyourinternet.eu (there are different languages avaible, just click on one of the bubbles in the upper right corner of the webiste to chose another language) For more in depth information you can find more resources here.
Yesterday (20 June) the Legal Afairs Committee (juri) voted with a 15:10 majority in favour of Article 13 (x). Here’s a list of the Members of the European Parliament who voted in favour. But there’s still a chance of the European Parliament plenary to stop Article 13. The plenary will take place on July 4-5.
If you feel like maybe you should do something abt this, you can:
write an email to your country’s MEPs (you can find a list with all the MEPs here, choose your country, select a name and click on the email icon)
call your country’s MEPs if you feel talkative
or tweet them (you can find their twitter here, same as with the email)
OR you can just go to saveyourinternet.eu where you can easily access all the ways to contact you MEPs
