Can't Afford Art School?

And this gem 👇

Can't Afford Art School?

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)

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

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

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)

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)

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

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. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are 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)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

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

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

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.

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Quiver Of Seasons
Wondrous Item, Rare (requires Attunement) ___

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Quiver of Seasons
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement) ___

This slender quiver is decorated with a forest of silhouetted trees. You can use a bonus action on each of your turns to speak the quiver’s command word to change its season, which also changes its color and design: Spring (green, trees with silver leaves), Summer (yellow, rays of silver sunlight), Autumn (orange, silver leaves falling), or Winter (blue, silver veins on trees).

The quiver has 8 charges and regains 1d6 + 2 expended charges daily at dawn. When you make a ranged attack using a weapon to fire ammunition drawn from this quiver, you can expend 1 of the quiver’s charges to infuse that ammunition with the quiver’s seasonal magic. That ammunition gains the following benefits depending on the quiver’s associated season:

𝙎𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜. The ammunition is wrapped by verdant brambles. On a hit, the brambles wrap around the target and deal an extra 1d10 piercing damage. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be restrained by the brambles until the end of your next turn. A creature can use its action to make a DC 15 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach from the brambles on a success.

𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧. The ammunition is scorched by wildfire. On a hit, flames erupt from it that deal an extra 1d10 fire damage to the target. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take an extra 1d10 fire damage at the start of its next turn.

𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙢𝙣. The ammunition is touched by decaying fungus. On a hit, a cloud of sickening spores bursts from it that deals an extra 1d10 necrotic damage to the target. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the end of your next turn. This has no effect on undead or constructs.

𝙒𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧. The ammunition is covered in biting frost. On a hit, ice splinters outward from it that deals an extra 1d10 cold damage. The target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target’s speed is halved until the end of your next turn. For the duration of this effect, it can’t use reactions, and…

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.

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.

My rlly fun video is up!

3 weeks ago

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.
