The best drawing advice I can give to anyone who wants to improve quickly is to use cheap notepad paper and ballpoint pens. I know it's tempting to buy the cool fancy supplies but then you'll feel pressured to not waste them. Use garbage materials and burn through them with zero thought. Only use pen because it forces you to commit and stops you from second guessing your lines and redrawing them over and over. Learn how to use your mistakes and then learn how to get it right the first time. I took numerous art classes and nothing taught me more than buying a big pack of Bics and legal pads and sketching anything that came to mind without hesitation. Fill a few pages everyday with the first thing that comes to mind. Don't rip out pages you don't like, just flip to the next page and try again. Watch yourself improve. If you really want to be a good artist, you need to learn how to draw from the ground up without relying on quality materials.
Can someone tell me how to change from this (example)
to actually see the icons of the OP of the post? This gives me a weird, uncanny feeling and I don't like it :C
Pee in a cup and leave it outside near ants - if they avoid it's probably not diabetes, if they seem interested, you might have sugar in your pee and should get checked out
what the fuck is this 1200’s medical science 101
As a specimen processor who checks body fluids for a living I can confirm this is a real, vaguely accurate ancient way of checking for diabetes that dates back at least to Pliny the Elder
no i know it’s real but this isn’t the middle ages I can literally go to the UC or ER if i need to?? why would i resort back to this

Rare footage from God Of War! It’s a shame that they cut this scene out :(
I think everyone should see this.
I keep seeing “callout” posts to the effect of “[popular artist X] once drew a picture of Invader Zim fucking Spongebob Squarepants, so they must be a huge weirdo pervert!”, and I’m like… have y’all ever actually met an artist?
Among most art communities I’m acquainted with, outlandish porn is a thing. Sure, sometimes it reflects some weird fetish on the artist’s part, but far more often, they drew it:
- Because someone dared them to do it
- Because someone claimed they wouldn’t do it
- To hurt people’s brains (there’s a certain stripe of artist for whom “oh my god my eyes” is the highest praise)
- Because they got into a one-upmanship contest with another artist and things got a little out of hand
- Because some artists have this thing where if they get a bad mental image stuck in their heads, the only way to get it out is to draw it (i.e., a bit like dislodging a stuck song by humming the ending)
- Out of pure spite
Never underestimate that last one; I personally know an artist who once spent the better part of two days hammering out a drawing of Inspector Gadget reverse-gangbanging the cast of Scooby-Doo because a buddy of theirs claimed that it was impossible for anything to shock them anymore, and they took it as a challenge.
ok but did every kid have a certain historical time period that they were REALLY into?? like I was super into the california gold rush when I was 9 for no reason
Same
I was obsessed with the black plague events
I was really into learning about the holocaust
The tudors were my thing
I was really into the Victorian era.
what if the reason behind this seemingly random interest in a specific period of time is that we were alive then in a past life?
oh man i cant believe i was a prospector hollerin THERE’S GOLD IN THEM THERE HILLS!, back in the day
Titanic
Pirates
Pompeii….
Apparently I may still be mummified there.
