Berdly Has Been Found Dead In Hometown

berdly has been found dead in hometown

@manndraki You would get this

If you ever feel stupid just remember someone once looked at fucking uranium, an extremely radioactive element that can kill you just be existing too close to it, and thought 'I could totally market that to kids'

Aka, The Gilbert Atomic Energy Laboratory, released in 1950.

A toy chemistry set that came with actual FUCKING URANIUM, AND order forms to get MORE FUCKING URANIUM.

The gist of the set was that you could make and watch nuclear reactions with the uranium it came with, measure the radioactivity from said uranium and other ores, and even potentially dig up more uranium outside with a dig kit the set provided for you.

As you can imagine, this act of stupidity was recalled after 1 year, after people realized that maybe irradiating their fucking children was a bad idea.

This is just a personal pet peeve of mine but i feel like a lot of online art tutorials overstate the importance of stuff like guidelines to get “correct” anatomy every single time and while those are typically really good handgrips for beginners we should also tell beginners about gesture drawing. Like maybe i’m being too animatorbrained here but being able to pump out a pose in anywhere from 15 seconds to 2 minutes and quickly move onto the next drawing without lingering on every little mistake is a really really good way at getting good at drawing people proportions quickly. If you make mistakes fast you learn from them fast. So here’s a little exercise:

Sit down, grab some reference images, draw ten poses in twenty minutes (or do ten poses in ten minutes if you’re feeling adventurous or confident) and take a step back and look at your work after the fact. Be sure to move from drawing to drawing quickly once your timer is done. Pretend you’re in a model drawing class and the model has already changed pose whenever your timer hits - finish up whatever lines you were drawing, move on to looking at what the model is doing now.

You will make a lot of shitty drawings, of course, but that’s not so bad. You only spent a minute or two making each one. Focus on the drawings you do like, and look at them as a whole.

Look at all the drawings together and how they fit together on the page. Look at little details and lines you’re proud of. Take note of things you found difficult to get right in such a short time. Take note of the things you liked doing. Do the exercise again, and focus in on the things you want to improve or explore.

Maybe you want to focus on how the torso conveys its weight on the legs. Maybe you want to focus on how shoulders and arms bend around the neck. Maybe you want to focus on how to convey depth on the torso. Maybe you can learn something more about how to draw a body if you only draw using sharp lines and angles. Maybe you can learn something more if you only draw using squiggly, overlapping lines. Maybe you can learn more about how to draw a body if you only fill out the shadows with thick, quick lines. Congratulations! You’re not just learning how to draw a body, but you’re now also exploring your tastes!

This is a fine exercise to do alone, but it’s a lot more fun to do as an activity with a small group so you get to discuss the art you made together.

hey. hey guys you know what would be funny.

We do a little trolling [insert that one diabolical emoji image]

For context, I really like the painting to hide secret passageways trick, so I hid this behind one of em to fuck with our partner that we were playin with at the time @vinefilledarchways lmfao

[Banging pots and pans together] SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

I don't exactly know how to word this but

I think that if you feel like different people at different times you should be able to use pluralkit or things similar. If it makes you more comfortable to be recognized as a different person than the body at different times you should be able to use things to show that. I dont care if you're not a DID/OSDD system. If it makes you more comfortable and makes you able to express yourself in a way that makes you happy than you should be able to do it. At the end of the day you aren't hurting anyone and it isn't that big of a deal. If it makes you feel more comfortable in your own skin, do it.
