if you feel like you can’t draw for shit but still Want to Practice, just draw over random shit

practice anatomy without having to work too hard

also 10×1

this is a huge part of art development!! so many people are afraid of being accused of “tracing” even in their unpublished practice that they never ever do it. DO IT, just don’t claim it as your own or post it if you’re uncomfortable?? Getting the hang of anatomy is so much easier when you trace at the start, and then move on to using reference images. Once you trace a hand enough times, you understand how it’s supposed to curve or bend or flex in the reference photos. I have like 4 folders full of anatomy studies that I’ve done by tracing, and it helps a ton with getting out of same body type/same face syndrome!!

Prove Me Wrong

An Asgore redemption story. Or rather, Asgore finally has enough of Toriel treating him like garbage once the barrier is broken and confronts her about it. He admits his wrong doings, his faults, all the horrible things he’s done, and yet all of that somehow overshadows all the good too? All he’s done to keep their entire race alive and hopeful while she ran off and hid because she didn’t like his decisions, abandoning her entire kingdom rather than talking it out or discussing it?

He understands that she needed time alone after what happened, but how many decades did she need?? In the end who was the one who handled the problem worse?

At least he stayed and kept up his responsibilities. What did she do?

… The argument ends in a lot of tears. But maybe Toriel starts to see that she was wrong in how she handled the whole situation. That’s not to sat Asgore handled it perfectly, they’re both flawed individuals, but maybe after some time to think they can be civil with one another again at the very least.

…

I have so many emotions about Asgore finally having enough of Toriel’s shit.

With the way people talk about homeschooling, you’d think kids were just locked up in their homes and sporadically taught stuff like the Earth being flat and the moon landings being faked, never allowed outside even for grocery shopping or whatever.

Like geez people calm down, they still go outside, they interact with other kids and make friends, they socialize, they have entire textbooks and programs to back up the parents teaching them who aren’t always paranoid overprotective Christians.

Really, are you honestly gonna go out and defend public schooling? Like the American education system is some kind of paragon of socialization, development into a healthy, well-adjusted adult and learning? Let’s not kid ourselves.
