I recently stumbled upon an incredible resource for all lovers of Japanese literature and culture: readjapaneseliterature.com. This podcast-cum—website is an absolute treasure trove of insightful articles, interviews, and even other podcasts that delve deep into the world of Japanese literature, showcasing its richness and diversity.
I can’t express enough how important it is to have champions…
One of the great rabbis. Rabbi Abraham ben Maimonides, taught: “In order to serve God, one needs access to the enjoyment of the beauties of nature, such as the contemplation of flower-decorated meadows, majestic mountains, and flowing rivers. For all these are essential to the spiritual development of even the holiest of people”.

OK actually by the pet shop boys is actually (!) such a solid album.... all bangers all the time if you will... not a dud track on it.. id forgotten how good this one is
Thank you for the advice! Just one question and that's it-- What references do you use?? I've been trying to find good ones but whenever I type on either pinterest or google all of then are just useless- What do you type to get such coolness??
for the art ive posted here ive rarely used ref at all💀 bad practice i know but thats why theyve all only been bust ups w the occasional hand hahhaa
the only one ive used ref for is the belos tying his hair one where i acc took a pic of myself doing the pose for once🗿🗿 embarrassing but it really works n i think ill do it more often! i looked up man w arms up on pinterest to see clothing folds in similar positions lol..
pinterest and google r also my go-tos and i agree they suuuck for super specific poses from imagination but for clothing folds theyre helpful (in the experience i gained like yesterday LMAO),, in the case of difficult full body poses/big compositions maybe get a free app like 3dposer where u can pose 3d models for ref! its so godsent but takes a bit o time to set up right (and draw right💀)
thanks for asking! these r fun to answer :^) if anyone has 2 cents to spare on refs id like to know tbh🗿
