hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

WAIT I LOVE IVY AND OLIVIA!!! IT'S BEEN SO LONG!! (not really, I read the books in October). Hands down one of my favorite series to this day just because it's so GOOD!

Yah!! No one I know IRL has read these books so I'm so happy finally finding others who love them!

#ask #my inner child is so happy #I tried to get a friend to read them when we were young but she only read the first one I think #I never had anyone to talk about them with so this is just so fun #I can kinda remember buying the first one at the scholastic book fair #I have books 1-12 on my book shelf #13-18 are tucked away because I don't like the covers lmfao #they aren't the scholastic ones with the cute art so I have a slight vendetta against them #earlier this year I was at a used book store and found like three of them that I didn't have and I was so excited #I don't care if I'm almost 26 - sometimes we have to do things for our inner child

draw more of what you want, I had literally forgotten about my sister the vampire, you hit me in the nostalgia

Join me in the nostalgia!

#my sister the vampire #Olivia Abbott #Ivy Vega #sienna mercer #my art #causeimanartist #no one I know irl has read these books so the fact anyone on the internet remembers them makes me happy #confession time: I have bought more of these books recently #I had my original 1-5 but I've been tracking down the scholastic versions of the others #specifically the scholastic versions because it's the cover art style I remember and love #I loved the covers so much and I still do #the books are sitting proudly on my bookshelf on top of twilight which is sitting less proudly #we all know the superior vampire books and it's this #a to z #a to z character challenge #a to z challenge #(two for the price of one!)

Draw relevant stuff? Nah. Draw fan art from a book series I read in middle school? Yah

#my sister the vampire #my art #causeimanartist #I have an explanation which is: who could stop me

if yall ever want like serious advice from me about how to solve burnout as a creative it's like...

literally ignore it. stop pushing. go do something else, enjoy your life, fill it with other things, do what brings you joy in the moment if you can.

go to the gym, take a walk to touch grass and look at dogs and smell flowers, cook dinner, watch tv with your friends, talk about your feelings as needed with ppl you trust, take a drive and blast your music, do the chores you need to do, the job hunting slog you need to do, read books that aren't for research, stop cordoning off your brain for The Craft or The Draft or whatever the fuck

forget about the project, stop thinking about it for as long as it takes to be excited again.

fuckin rest, basically

#reblog #sigh

I recently did an oc challenge someone had posted and THEN realized I couldn’t source it (so I felt icky about posting it) and to solve that problem I made my own list!

You could do it as month challenge or use it as a grab bag or anything really! I’m doing mine all on one big canvas bc if the art is small it’s easier to finish so many lol. Tag me if you use any of them, I’d love to see your ocs!!

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

Okay question - would it be weird for me to start answering old asks? Like, I have stuff in my inbox from months or even years ago. Would that be weird?

#I frequently look through my inbox because there are lots of fun asks in there #and when I got them I was like 'oh I definitely wanna draw that!' #but then art block and passage of time

[causeimanartist]

I just want you to know you're one of my favorite artists, especially your depiction of the trinity just being the cutest trio in the world. I think your characters always seem so happy (oddly even grumpy Bruce) and it's infectious. Thanks so much for every piece of art you've ever shared with us!

Thank you so much!! I honestly love sharing my art because with just a few exceptions (like that weirdo on my most recent Wonder Woman drawing) - everyone is just super kind and leave such nice comments in the tags! The reception I've gotten over the years means so much to me

#ask #like ya sometimes I get assholes in my inbox or commenting on my stuff #but they are so few and far between #and even when they do show up - I get an outpouring of support and it just makes me smile #I can't tell you how many times a nice message or tag has given me the motivation to draw #(which I appreciate since I'm still locked in that chronic art block - sigh) #oh and fun fact about the weirdo from this morning: #I read his comments to my mom and she said and I quote #'wow what a dick' #so true bestie (mom)
