Did I just go yo the library at 11pm because I needed a book for an essay that's due in the morning? Yes. Do I realize that I should probably go to sleep instead of working on my essay? Yes. Will that happen? No.

Also this was ridiculously difficult to find. But it's exactly what I need! Have a good night everyone!

My sister and I arguing about something stupid over the phone:

Her: well you're an idiot!

Me: *pauses before descending into a fit of revolted splutters*

Her: what the hell? Are you okay?

Me: Yeah, I just stuck my tongue out at you but forgot I was wearing a mask

This is literally the most amazing thing I think I've ever read.

Bruce Wayne doesn’t swear. The man raises so many kids and is trying to set some sort of example, and still lives with his very polite butler guardian who would most certainly scold him every time he swore in front of the children. He also doesn’t use substitutes cause that’s too goofy, every time Bruce wants to swear he instead just stares intensely into the middle distance

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Never let anyone slow you down. Unless you're driving a car and they're crossing the street. Then you need to stop.

Mountains- This is one of my favorite pieces. Charcoal was really fun to experiment with.

Tips on charcoal:

-don't try to use a blending stump, instead use a tissue

-color the entire area a light shade and blend it together, then slowly increase the amount of charcoal and darkness until you get the shade you want

-details are really difficult with charcoal, so I added the details on the eyes with graphite instead and that seemed to work really well

-honestly don't try to rush charcoal, think of it like oil paint give it time to settle into the paper before trying to work it too much

-oil gets stuck in charcoal more than it does anything else I've worked with so far, so don't let your friends eat goldfish and touch your piece at the same time ;)

Note: These are things that I noticed while I was working on this piece specifically, it might not be exactly how you want to work on all charcoal pieces
