clip studio’s super cheap again! as of right now until next tuesday (11/27) clip studio’s only 25 dollars which is an incredible steal for the program’s features. if you’ve been thinking of getting it now’s a good time

ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN !! from today untill Dec 3rd you can get either version of CSP for 50% off ($25 for Pro and $109 for EX)

CSP can make professional illustrations, comics, and animations with way more features than Sai (including the world-saving perspective ruler). CSP also has tons of brushes, textures, 3D resources, and tutorials created by the community which can be found, downloaded, or accessed directly though the file/resource manager Clip Studio. While the Pro version is everything you need, the EX version will let you manage documents with multiple pages together, export in professional formats, and create long-form animations (Pro is limited to 3 seconds).

Remaking this post because honestly the other one floating around was very poorly worded and didn’t explain anything.

Reddit has a number of communities dedicated to helping people out financially. Although I’m not personally familiar with the site and how these subreddits function, the success rate seems to be higher on there than it is on tumblr.

While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you using a website you are familiar with to ask for help, Tumblr isn’t the best when it comes to helping people out money wise; with that being said, here are some alternatives that may work better in your favor (Note: these WILL have stricter rules in place than posting a donation link to tumblr would- they have this to prevent scamming but it may bar people from receiving assistance in certain situations so please keep this in mind). 

Monetary/Necessity Assistance Subs:- /r/Assistance - Req: Registered account / 300 Combined Karma- /r/Charity - Req: Registered account 30 days old / 300 Comment Karma / Crowdfunding links only (include a description in your post)- /r/FoodPantry - Req: Account 90 days / 300 Comment Karma / Actively posting in non-charity subs for 90 days - r/gofundme - Req: Account 30 days / 300+ Comment Karma / 1 submission per user- /r/RandomActsOfPetFood - Req: Account 90 days / 500 Comment Karma / No monetary requests / Must wait 1 month between each request personally posted

Advice Subs:- /r/AlmostHomeless - No visible reqs; No donation posts- r/freelance - No visible reqs; Soliciting work, links and self-promotion banned- r/homeless - No reqs; Must be homelessness-related; Soliciting donations banned- r/transitions - No visible reqs

If you know of any other helpful subs/websites feel free to add!

USE THESE REDDIT SUBS INSTEAD PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!

Hate Reddit if you want, but using these subs are your best chance. People gather in these subs because they have charity to spare:

/r/Assistance/r/legaladvice/r/RandomKindness/r/Charity/r/care/r/Random_Acts_Of_Pizza/r/Food_Pantryhttps://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfPetFood/https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfChristmas/https://www.reddit.com/r/almosthomeless/https://www.reddit.com/r/homeless

/r/freelance /r/povertyfinance/r/thrifty/r/borrow/r/gofundme

/r/depression/r/familysupport/r/transitions 

I never see anyone actually getting any significant donations on tumblr and to be honest, tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. Use it as your last resort, it frustrates me to no end seeing people begging for help, reblogging the same post over and over, the same types of posts over and over, to no avail, when people are waiting to help you on a different part of the web GO TO WHERE THE HELP IS. IF YOU WANT DIRECT ACTION TO WORK STOP WITH TUMBLR AND USE REDDIT.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN REBLOG THIS SO WE CAN START REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DONATION POSTS THAT GET STUCK FLOATING AROUND THIS WEBSITE

Please watch Klaus on Netflix

It's already out on netflix and there has once again been barely any promotion for it. I know it's not christmas and yall are probably sick to death of seeing christmas stuff months early but Please don't let this movie die! It uses beautiful experimental 2d animation and has been in developement hell for Years! I know netfix doesn't care about promoting their own content so please watch it now so they know we do care and they might actually pick up more ambitious projects like this one. It's woth watching for the gorgeus animation alone

people still get these terms confused so i’ll remind everyone; 

what is a reupload/repost? it’s when you save an image and upload it to your own account. artists dont like this 

what is a retweet/reblog? it’s when you press the little arrows button under a post. artists like this

It took Jon about five minutes of staring into the vast, endless fog to realize how difficult this particular rescue would be.

Meanwhile, Martin had hardly even felt it when Peter sent him away, something that probably should have worried him more than it did.

- start with a sketch. seriously no artist i’ve ever met starts a drawing with lineart

- construction lines like boxes and circles are a godsend and the more you use them the more you’re able to make different body types that are proportional. eventually you’ll be using them less and less as you commit different body types to memory

- study some realism first because it’s a good way to build skills in lighting and proportions. this doesn’t mean you can only draw realism obviously, but having that knowledge does help for future reference

- anime is a valid style and fuck anyone who says otherwise

- originality is a myth. take ideas and inspiration from other artists, movies, whatever and build your own style from that. it’s gonna take time but it’ll come i promise

- use references if you don’t know how to draw something. as long as you don’t trace it or claim it as your own, you are totally valid if you look at other poses online for how to draw something. if it’s heavily referenced just mention + credit where you got the pose from

- don’t be afraid to ask artists for tips and tricks. personally whenever someone asks me about brushes n stuff i get super excited and am like “yes here and here and here” and i’m p sure other artists feel the same

- flip!!! your canvas!!!!! you’ll hate it at first but it really does make your drawings 1000x better i promise

- try not to shade too much with black ‘cause it looks muddy. there are some exceptions, like light diffusion and differences in lighting, but if the object is colorful or around something colorful try to shade in a darker color similar to that one

- don’t be like @staff. learn basic color theory

- watch!! tutorials!! and speedpaints!!

- color dodge is so good for glowing. seriously. those glowy effects i use? all color dodge. it highlights the saturated colors while casting the rest in shadow

- overlay is your best friend

- use multiply for shading if you’re not sure what colors to use

- use many many layers, there is nothing worse than doing something wrong and messing up the whole thing trying to fix it because you don’t have a different layer for it

- draw what you want. no rush. no pain. it’s for you. it doesn’t have to be perfect

- practice practice practice!!! drawing is a skill, anyone can learn. y’all should see my drawings three years ago. it’s all practice.

- there’s this weird culture around filling up your sketchbook with only clean drawings and stuff which is, uh. bullshit. your sketchbooks can have whatever mess you want. that’s why it’s called a sketchbook and not a masterpiece book. do whatever you want

- don’t feel discouraged if your art doesn’t get as much attention. time zones + filters + a lot of things may be a factor and it doesn’t mean you’re not good

- don’t compare yourself to other artists unless you’re looking to learn from them because everyone’s style and level is different and you won’t get anywhere if you feel bad because you think you’re “not good enough”

- “not good enough” is also bullshit btw, art is fluid and creative and the standard is whatever you want it to be

- ignore cringe culture that should be abolished immediately anyways

- you don’t owe anyone anything. you do you.

- if someone tells you you can’t draw something, that’s a perfect motivation to draw lots of that thing to spite them

- drawing is supposed to be fun. if it’s super stressful for you, it’s okay to take a break

- experiment!!! there’s so much you can do for art, don’t be afraid to try new things!!

- ily you’re valid

- keep drawing, i believe in you

tumblr is making it harder and harder for content creators to post on their platform, between destroying gif quality and showing no respect to content creators who made their platform, i’m not surprised the creator scene is dying. on top of that with the new trend of not reblogging content and only liking it, it’s making it even harder for creators to have their works seen by anyone. that being said, just a reminder to support your favorite content creator by literally just reblogging, liking or sending them a nice ask to encourage them. many content creators are losing motivation, quitting and leaving the platform, and as someone who loves making content, it’s draining and sad to see

remember when the "nsfw ban" happened and everyone was like. Well i guess this is it. Bye everyone. and then kept posting

the sad thing is that was the perception, but really more than half of my favorite artists are just gone. not all of them even left somewhere else to find them. even artists i didn't follow, i now see their urls are deactivated on the bottoms of some of their posts that still circulate. maybe it didn't kill tumblr with the ban, but it sure as fuck killed the artist culture and half the artist population like it was fucking thanos.

that Vox article going around with the memes, about tumblr being bought for nothing, states that Tumblr lost 30% of its users in the 6 months after the ban. So, definitely not just an impression
