Changed avatar...
… more because I have to change my hairstyle because I had to chop off like 4-5 inches of my hair because some of it broke off from having it in a ponytail all the time. OTL

For all of my artists who struggles with curly...
babybutta: Yesterday I’ve found two amazing brushes so far for curly hair. These brushes are all photoshop brushes. Trust me if I could work with this on sai I would.  PvS-DigitalArt      This brush does wonders if you are looking for a super realistic look for your artwork.  *note* It’ll be best if you worked on a darker base for this brush.   Enamorte This brush comes with two brushes that...

Probably Unreliable Guides: speed lines
okolnir: tay-bee asked you: (lets see if i can word this right haha) for the smaller speedlines that show fast movement of a certain limb/weapon/etc (not background speedlines) do you have any tips on knowing where to place them or ways to draw them to show the movement? I’ll be using panels from my manga Carciphona to explain what I do. Like all tutorials or guides from me, please use...

just a friendly reminder
mswyrr: that when the vast majority of mass media narratives fail to represent marginalized people, they’re sending a clear message that this society is a place where, in our fantasies and dreams of better, more beautiful and interesting worlds, these people should not exist they only exist in reality as a flaw that needs to be erased to make better, more beautiful, more interesting worlds and...

“3 percent of the decision-making in media comes from women. That means 97...”
– Independent Lens, PBS “Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines” (via ihopeyoucontinue4ever) It also means that 97 percent of how men are portrayed in media are decided on by men. Something to remind MRAs and their ilk of when they complain about the stereotype of men as inept...

I really struggle with titles.
paranerdia: Books, short stories, whatever. I’m just not good at them. No good at names, either. But I found these, recently, and while they aren’t infallible (they produce a lot of nonsense) they make for a good starting point. Random Title Generator Fantasy Title Generator Romantic Title Generator Something a bit more ‘pulp’ orientated And something a bit more detailed Great for fanfic...

How to end your novel →
marypsue: nanowrimodiary: The Dos and Don’ts By James V. Smith Jr. Don’ts Don’t introduce any new characters or subplots. Any appearances within the last 50 pages should have been foreshadowed earlier, even if mysteriously. Don’t describe, muse, explain or philosophize. Keep description to a minimum, but maximize action and conflict. You have placed all your charges. Now, light the fuse...

kalidraws: I got a variant of that question a couple days ago about the bird piece that I posted, but since I get other questions about my texture use I thought it’d probably be helpful to just make a post on one of the ways I add texture digitally! (the other way I add texture is adding texture scans on…
