artist reference his hand drawing the pencil, forgetting two of his fingers were not in fact up, only one.

these panels are very wholesome etc

but i can't quite take them seriously because i'm too distracted by dick having 6 fingers on his left hand

potentially 7 fingers actually because what is going on with that extra knuckle

"I cant draw" then do it bad who gives a fuck.....

Literally went from:

“Why would I ever trust the word of an Oathbreaker?”

“It’s unwise to trust a bloody Sharran”

To:

“Why hello, Lover, that sounded more debonaire in my head, I admit”

“I am yours, my Heart”

Aaaand I’m finally in Act 3 (fucking finally) with my Oathbreaker Paladin Durge run. I can only wish I’m talented enough of a writer to write a fic for these two I swear-

I love genuinely innocent “boys will be boys.” Just saw a guy come out of a frat house to poke a pair of jeans they’d left outside - they were frozen solid, and as soon as he confirmed that, like twenty more boys came rushing out of the house going “YOOOOOOOOOO”

Nice to admit you are a brat with no tact. Also you're a Gen-Zer too DipShit. Gen-Alpha is currently only 14 years old and you're claiming to be 20.

Op called out for something their post is about Also Op: i was raised in a barn by feral cats i didn't see the sun until i was two and my biological mother was a cloven hoofed imp woooahhh sugoi, I'm so impressed /s

anyway, the children aren't uniquely shitheads but they're going to be as adults without proper guidance and that guidance isn't coming, their parents simply don't care and teachers aren't payed enough to course correct a class of 20-30 students. So hope you're ready for the up and coming generation Op :) Because the rest of us are justifiably VERY fucking worried.

fascinating to me how quickly we forget that the cycles repeat. people treating 5-15 year olds like this breed of superchild created to do evil and taint the world. that was all of us. "they're wrecking sephoras" you would not survive a 2015 hot topic with this mindset. "they're falling for the stanley cup thing" buying on trend overly robust camping gear for every day use is like. a middle class tradition in this country. our glorious kånken backpack vs their wicked stanley cup.

#We were there when 2015 hot topic incident occured OP #and we were just as unimpressed #But it didn't make us fear an entire generation growing up #These children aren't just wrecking sephora's and you know it #it's all over social media but as always no one listens to the adults in direct contact with children #But what do you know #you're just a cloven hoofed imp raised by feral cats as you said lol

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

So I learned multiple color theories.

First one was elementary. Another one taught in middle school. Yet a different one from highschool. Know which one I use? Learned it from an art master, it's called Fletcher color theory.

He likely did learn color theory, but some theories don't click or make sense to some people where others mesh well.

And it's not like they're hard art laws, otherwise they wouldn't be called color theory.

I also don't think a school necessarily needs to teach you any particular theory outside of the obvious understood truths. (Ex: skin has yellow, blue, purple, greens and reds in it)

How you eventually handle color will essentially come from your understanding of lights and darks and colors influencing eachother. For some that will mean they use "contradicting colors" and for others that will mean they use "complimentary colors". Some will get lost in mixing palettes of triangles within octagons. And others will get absorbed in painting the under coat sepia and the top coat in lush whimsy without a care to any theory.

It's not the art college's job to teach any such theory, but it is their job to teach obvious understood truths. How you build your colors beyond that is your style and expression to that information.

My man could have searched up color theory at any point and made test pieces to find which one he likes best if he was determined enough to grow as an artist, and that's just the hard truth to being an artist. The willingness to learn random tools to better one's craft.

Art students, artists, professionals, novices-

When did you learn color theory? I mean like, when did you discover color theory existed and go “hm that might be useful to learn” and then you attempted to do it.

In an attempt to not doxx myself, I go to a very prestigious private art school & I am graduating in May. I started to learn color theory when I was around 7 years old and I have been a professional artist since I was 13. I recently befriended a freshman, his art is mediocre at best (since our school has started just letting anyone who can hold a pencil into the Bachelors program) and I just recently found out- while he was painting a portrait- that he knows absolutely NOTHING about color theory. This concerned me greatly because at our school they will not teach you that- they expect you to have a vast knowledge of art before you enter the school, that’s why they have you submit a portfolio. It’s an art school for artists- not beginners. He will drown here. What really threw me for a loop is that he never attempted to watch YouTube videos explaining color theory or learning on his own?? He just relied on his highschool art classes and didn’t like… want to learn independently? Which is absolutely crazy to me because what person interested in art doesn’t look into that stuff on their own?? I feel like I’m going crazy. He said most freshman are probably in his position & I… for the hope of the future of art… hope he’s incorrect. So please tumblr- enlighten me- WHEN DID YOU LEARN COLOR THEORY??

You make click the buttons. They change colors.

You may become magpie to them.

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
