Some art process stuff I compiled.

No more melted tomblerones or mising skulls, yyeann!

This is my basic process for pretty much everything I draw. The key is understanding the shape of the garment you’re trying to draw and the shape of the body part you’re putting it on.

Drawing the body first forces you to make the shoe, hat, or clothes fit that body. With practice you’ll be able to skip some steps. This method works the same no matter the perspective or pose. It just relies on your knowledge of what a hat looks like from above, or what the bottom of a shoe looks like. When in doubt, just google refs. Don’t necessarily need the exact angle you’re trying to draw. Look at different pics to give you an idea of how it works in 3d.

Shoes are always a bit tricky because feet are a stupid ass shape.

It might help if you think of hats as a cylinder fitted to the person’s head to help you get the perspective right before you push in detail. note: heads aren’t circles. they’re kind of egg shaped if you look at them from the top.

Hey tumblr community! i need your help. 

There’s been a student movement in Bangladesh and hundreds of thousands students have been protesting for a week for safer roads and justice for those who have been killed in road accidents. I will include a post of someone from Bangladesh so you can learn more about the incident. 

by now, the Mobil Data and WiFi services in the country have been restricted so the news of students being killed and attacked won’t get out. Students in Bangladesh are using the hashtag #WeWantJustice to spread the news. Please use the hash tag on twitter because they don’t have access to social media right now. Here are some more pictures of the movement that I collected from the internet:

Please reblog, repost, share- do whatever you can to get international media attention and help them. These are children. These are students. We can’t just sit around watch them get killed! They students are just as important as the students in the U.S. They deserve to be safe. They deserve to live. Spread the word.

Do not remove caption

Season 7 is coming out soon, so here’s a few reminders

If your ship doesn’t become canon, THAT IS OKAY. You can still ship it and enjoy it. Plus there’s always fanfic.

There is absolutely no reason to send death threats or harass the cast and crew of Voltron (looking at you, overkill klance stans). Please, just stop. Your ship just isn’t canon. Get the fuck over it. The show has an amazing plot and diverse, complex characters. It’s great even without the romance.

Voltron is a fucking kids show.

Don’t promote your ship by bringing down other ships. Don’t call a ship pedophilia or say that it’s “toxic” unless you know what you’re talking about and are not just saying it because you ship something else.

Klance stans: Calm the fuck down. Like, you guys are fucking embarrassing. I ship Klance, but I’m still going to be okay if it doesn’t become canon, and it probably won’t. BUT THAT’S OKAY.

Peaceful shippers: Thank you. You guys are amazing and I love you. Stay strong in this fucked-up fandom. (Even though I feel like most of the peaceful shippers had the good sense to leave a while ago.)

Stop with the ship hate. In general. Like, there are limitless realities. Your ship is probably canon in at least thirteen of them. Shut the fuck up.

Lotor stans: I am so sorry.

Sorry if that was aggressive. Here’s some friendlier reminders:

Shiro is gay. He’s the leader of Voltron and essentially one of the good guys, but he’s also flawed and has PTSD. He’s written as a person, which I dunno, I think that’s pretty awesome.

Pidge is Italian.

OUR BABIES ARE COMING HOME!

Adam exists. I don’t care if you ship Adashi or not. You can still appreciate Adam and the fact that he’s named after a vine.

Lance has a widow’s peak, and I find that beautiful.

Coran’s full name is Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe.

For all fans of voltron

This is a message for everyone

After season 7 I will also leave the fandom .... but not for the reasons that you believe.

You want to stop watching the show because Klance is not canon ?! Because Axca could have a crush for keith ?! Because a character you liked without really knowing him is dead?!?!

Voltron Legendary Defender tells the story of teenagers and young adults discovering space lions and engaging in a war against aliens seeking to conquer the galaxy

This is not the FUCKING Love Story of Lance and Keith: The Serie !!

I understand that you can be disappointed but if on 13 epic episodes you remember only the elements mentioned above and that you go away because of that....

First, it's not you who decide the rest of the events of the show and then ... well ... GO AWAY !!! It will be good for everyone and Voltron deserves better as fans than aggressive idiots who are never happy of what they are given and whose only purpose is to see their ship become canon.

I'm sorry if I hurt more than one but some people should really question themselves (I'm talking to you) ... are you really REAL fans, I do not have the impression and if you want to leave like me, do it, but grow up and stop driving like spoiled rotten kids!

Dreamworks has brought you a great science fiction serie, BEAUTIFUL in the form, with endearing and intricate characters, epic battles, moving and funny moments, an eventful storyline and even a confirmed Lgbt couple for everyone to relate to... ( on 7 important characters ( paladins, coran and allura) one is canonically gay which is more than 14% of the group: it is perfectly realistic, not worth to imagine that all the characters are gay it would not have neither sense nor logic )...

..... and you are not happy, WORST you only see the evil and criticize it constantly.

Voltron owes you nothing and you are just ungrateful and aggressive towards the serie, the doublers, the staff and dreamworks that made you dream ...

I do not understand....
