#you can stop at any step

[pumpkster]

hii sorry if you’ve already answered something like this in the past but how do you shade? ur art is always rendered so nicely and the colors are chosen so well!!

HELLOO THANK YOU! SO let’s start from the basics

when something is white or black you can change that to something else, here’s an example (for black you can just pick any colour and make it darker)

2. if you have space (in the background? idk how you call it) you can put a showy colour

3. colour picking - i tone it down / take the saturation

i dont add lighting unless there's something like glass

separation line cuz its gonna get a bit long

1.

you get your base colours ( i revived my oc for this ) (now after the basics u know where the white, black and [in this case] yellow came from)

2. i hope you know how to use layers

specific art style thing, i dont know what that is

3. if you arent the type of person to stick all the layers of your base colours then CHANGE IT!! for this tutorial

so what you are going to do is create a gray layer, all gray, fill it, the layer has to be on top of the base colour layer

u click that button, it has to look like this

4. you create another layer (above the gray one) (it has to be on the same layer mode with the second button so what you do doesnt go out from the base colors)

then you put your shading, I use red

+ i like to remark around the lineart bc yes

5.

trust me

[extra unnecessary info = a good mix is red + blue, and purple or brown are good on their own (in multiply)]

6.

you experiment with the layers, adding or deleting until you like it (i usually dont like if the shading ends up too not-colourful or too heavy) (the modes for these layers are multiply and SUBEXPONER) (I DONT KNOW THE TRANSLATION BUT ITS THIS ONE)

7. once you get what you want you merge the shading layers one per one to the base colour layer, so its all gone, you have all in one layer

8. BORDERS

you make outlines around the shading, in a colour that is more ?saturated? / showy <- you can use these same lines you are doing to just remark what you want (like the speechbubble, bad example but u get it)

in the black color i used (here its darker blue) i didnt use a lighter saturated colour like everywhere else, i used a darker blue

9. SECOND ROUND OF BORDERS

whats the difference between these and the ones from before? in this step your starter color is the base color (in the other you picked from the shading) , you dont go too far to make it outstanding

all of this it makes it more solid

10. AND LAST you colour the lineart (in the same layer mode you used before where what u do doesnt go out of the layer)

very saturated here and i randomly added orange bc reusing colors is cool (since the filling behind the hair was yellow it ended up like this)

edit: i dont like to change much from the outlines, more the inside because i like it when it looks like a sticker

thank u for reading

#art tag #adding in the tags that this is only a way of the many to colour #you can stop at any step #add more #modify anything #i guess what i keep the most is that in the shading there are outlines #also its better to have a grey-darker background colour while picking colours #bc if its white you will be like 'naah these colours are too strong' and you wont dare to try more #tutorial

So anyway you repeatedly say we only feel corn husks and similar inedible parts to cattle but Never add a source to back it up. Having worked on farms I’m afraid for the most part the feeds I’ve seen have been parts entirely edible to humans. And like fuck man 5% of all grown soy is fed to humans or however the stat goes, do you really think the remaining 95% is inedible? really?

Anyway yeah I’m asking for a source here cause I don’t want to add this on to months old post

Ingredients such as “grain by-products” are referring to the husks, stalks, and other “green” parts of the plant that we humans don’t actually have the digestive capabilities to eat. The breakdown of most livestock feeds looks like the above when you actually take a look at it.

Different cattle feed, similar ingredients. Still primarily things that, and I have to stress this, you cannot eat. This one is slightly higher in quality and does indeed have actual grain products included. Some of those are edible to humans. Some are not. Generally cattle are fed cattle cubes with supplemental mineral licks and hay. Some also supplement with whole corn, but I can gladly assure you that corn is not in short supply and even if all the corn sold to animal feed was donated to the poor, you can’t actually live off of corn because there’s very little nutrition in it. Hence why in both human and animal food it’s typically seen as a filler ingredient. Keeps the mouth busy with a meal without making your stomach feel full and you end up eating more without feeling satisfied.

Soybeans are really only often used in feed for pigs because they’re a great source of protein for these animals. I would state that soy is also a terrible option to use as an emergency food for humans in need because while, yes, it is indeed a healthy bean, it’s also one of the top eight foods that humans are frequently allergic or intolerant towards. I’d also ask you for whether your 5% of all grown soy statistic is referring to the beans or the entire plant because yeah the beans are the edible part. The rest of the plant isn't especially healthy for humans to eat. I would say the beans are around 5% of a mature soy plant sure.

#No offense anon but when you come here with ACTUALLY MOST OF WHAT FARM COWS EAT IS HUMAN FOOD and bring up SOY in the discussion of COWS #I somewhat doubt you actually have much experience farming #because no actually cattle benefit from the green parts of the plant more than the bean parts in most cases #corn is used as a cheap supplemental feed because it’s cheap and it’s cheap because there’s so so SO much of it #And corn isn’t grown in special livestock only plantations when it’s used as feed as opposed to human food either #corn is grown en masse and processed and then sold to various companies which use the corn for various things #if animal feed companies stopped buying corn and that corn was instead bought by human food companies #that doesn’t mean corn would be any more or less accessible to the hungry #because it would go to grocery stores and TV dinner companies and sauce companies and soda companies and so on #and it would still be sold same as always #world hungerTM isn’t caused because people can’t afford corn #corn is dirt cheap and most people can afford it #it’s just barely a step above eating sand and you can’t live off of it #I’ve gone a few days only eating corn products because they were cheap #and shocking no one I had no energy and felt just as hungry after each bowl as I had before the last #people cannot survive off of that #giving corn to livestock isn’t taking away any resource of value from humans #sorry it just isn’t

han sooyoung 1863 (and her specifically) offering eternal sleep to yoo joonghyuk is an act of mercy and.... and, god, it was kindness

#orv spoilers #your god (who does not yet know she's your god) looks at you and goes #sacrifice your connections to all of these people #suffer alone for so long you become a shell of a man #and at the end i promise i'll make this world (which you love so so much) as safe as it can be #not as safe as we would want it. we cannot save it in that way #but we can hit pause and at least stop it from getting any worse #this is the best peace i can offer it and you #and then. then you can go to sleep. you can stop. #i've made you walk for so long now just a few more steps and i'll let you rest #orv #han sooyoung #yoo joonghyuk #orv.txt #fra.txt #yoohan #their dynamic in 1863 makes me insane in hindsight #and she doesn't know she made him but the fact that she alone was able to offer this to him........ #of course. of course it was her. it couldn't be anyone but.

Im honestly not too invested in testament and johnny as a ship beyond their canon dynamic im simply not the shippiest guy on earth but i get so pissed off when people dont understand Why theyre shipped. Its a little bit funny. Cuz now you just dont know shit about testament. And so i hate. You

#like if you dont even know theyre friends you dont know enough about testament SORRY! #let alone the impact johnny has had on their life like genuinely #he does a lot to get them to stop isolating themself. theyre friends they hang out. #do you know how big of a step it was for testament to Hang Out with someone. do you even FUCKING care……… TCH #XX ​DRAMA CD SIDE BLACK DIZZY’S LETTER! listen to it. #I NEED TO ADD that cd to the story section of their wiki page #so people can know about it. without having to seek out a fuckinf drama cd. #its just really good and it sets up their recovery really well. and i LIKE IT #for real once saw someone on twitter say like. have they ever even interacted? #tell me youve barely consumed any pre strive testament content without telling me youve barely consumed any pre strive testament content. #‘have they ever even interacted’…… yeah man in this thing called Guilty Gear check it out some time #this is day 4 of me waking up too early and using that time to think about testament Badly. #the kat goes meow

[yarrowleef]

as this continues to be relevant yeah idk I just think this whole RiverClan nonsense conflict would have been less annoying for me to read if RiverClan had actually descended into true chaos. a situation like Redscar’s field guide story where several cats try to claim authority. but in this case, it goes beyond just two cats fighting and the clan starts splitting into mini factions supporting one self-appointed candidate or the other. the problem being presented as “we all forgot how to do chores without a teacher permission slip :(” is so weird and lame. give me blood shed eat each other alive so i believe your plight ffs!!! 

#warrior cats #asc #yarrow speaks #a starless clan #warrior cats sky #warrior cats shadow #wc criticism #uh i dont think this is spoilers? its the same as last book #sorry i take back that old post saying i didnt want to read about RiverClan brushing off Mothwings authority in this situation #turns out they really SHOULD have so that this plot would make more sense #bc as it stands i cant comprhend why she was unable to just point at Literally Anyone and ask them to organize some patrols for the day. #thats not appointing a leader its Just Doing Chores. switch off who does it every day who cares but how is it this much of a problem #i cant engage with this conflict at all with how its presented #idk first they said some senior warriors were *quietly and passively* gesturing to Frostpaw that they would like to be leader #but then later they said that no senior warrior would step forward. which is it. i just cant stop thinking of all the many many times- #-rando warriors were given temporary patrol organizing duties. it happens all the time. i just. #you cant rly tell me not One Single Cat here can organize some chores for a month or two #bc if thats true and mothwing is unable to just point at any warrior ask them to pick some patrols for the day- #then that suggests the problem is not lacking a starclan chosen leader the problem is apparently every single cat in this clan- #-is too incompetent for the job. and being officially appointed isnt going to suddenly give them that skill if they cant do it now #hence why i wish there had been some bloody fighting over this #but sitting around staring at the wall and doing nothing is cool too ig

#I really like the “We're the bad guys' enemy” line. For someone I generally despise Dazai has all my favourite lines in this show… #Idk I can't really vibe with the unbalance that there is between s/kk. #Like when push comes to shove‚ Dazai has the power to keep Chuuya alive or let him die. #I understand why they make a compelling dynamic in their complexity‚ but it just doesn't do it for me. #I'm a little sad my opinion on them hasn't really changed since I watched the anime for the first time... #Also; I really can't vibe with Chuuya allowing Dazai to kill Q. Yes I know Chuuya cares about his comrades deeply. #Yes I know it can be interpreted as Chuuya seeing himself in Q as a living weapon and being disgusted by it #(though I honestly don't think that was intentional of the author). #Yes I know Chuuya is a mafioso and kills people. No I don't think your personal issues justify you being a dick to other people I'm sorry. #Back to my main annoyance with the episode: I must have already talked about this but I hate hate hate the narrative #“the mafia works for the city” “the mafia deeply loves the city too” it's so so sickening and insulting please stop I'm begging. #Please visit any actual city with a rooted mafia presence for once in your life (signed: someone whose hometown was destroyed by the mafia. #The writers really don't know what they're talking about and‚ politely‚ it's offensive.) #Also b/sd keeping being extremely nationalist with Mori (who's largely depicted unsimphatetically for the first part of the episode)– #bringing up western thinkers and subtly mocking Fukuzawa for not knowing them– #and Fukuzawa (the righteous man. the noble spirit and just soul in this episode and Mori's antithesis)– #stepping forward to say that he knows strategists from the east (because who else would he need?) #I don't know if it's meant to symbolize the conflict with an hostile and invading foreign power (the Guild). #But it does come across as. A very isolationist way of thinking. #I know it's subtle but it's really evident for me. And I didn't want to talk about this any further… #But by bringing actual examples of this I hope I can better explain why I think that b/sd holds nationalist views– #and that I'm not just making it up out of nowhere. Otherwise I fear I'd only come off as pettily hostile to b/sd in everything #That's it.

as much as i love reo and nagis relationship, im just so frustrated right now i need to talk about this, maybe im wrong but i honestly just need to let it out

spoilers for the blue lock manga

(i forgot how to put a read more warning bc i rarely do these types of posts so im so sorry)

they really had whole ass pages of reo saying he had to play his own soccer and not be nagis right hand man, to take goals for himself and show the world that he can fight on his own, just to A PAGE LATER have nagi say "i need you reo" and throw everything into the trash.

AGAIN I LOVE THEM I DO, but being individual is a good thing, they had a codependent relationship when it came to soccer, i thought it was healthy for reo to see value in himself, his talent and dreams, to let himself grow outside of his relationship with nagi. thats quite literally what nagi did in the second selection and it went great for him, he grew just like he wanted to. reo was growing and then they decided to switch up on that and have reo back nagi up again and im so frustrated about it, and all of that just to beat isagi. I LOVE THEM BUT ITS OKAY TO BE INDIVIDUAL, THAT DOESNT MEAN YOU'RE RELATIONSHIP IS WEAKER IT ACTUALLY MAKES IT STRONGER WHY DID THE AUTHOR DO THIS I HATE IT SO MUCH.

i love that they are together i do, but i dont like the way they did it, it just doesnt feel right and it fell flat for me, which it shouldn't since i really like both of their characters. i just wanted to let that out sorry i annoyed anyone i just needed to talk about it.

#idc if u ship them or see them as just friends whatever i still hate the way this was done #and all i can think about isnt even the characters making poor decisions its tHE AUTHOR MAKING POOR DECISIONS #i hate it so bad #nagi took a step back and grew and it was great #it was also reos wake up call for him to do the same but he got wrapped up in jealousy which is completely normal to feel #but then just as he started to grow out of that state of mind and work on himself they drag them back into the same bullshit as before #://////// #im pissed can you tell #also if you blame isagi for any of this thats a skill issue tbh isagi has absolutely nothing to do with their relationship #he didnt ask nagi to leave reo and join him he didnt ask nagi to be his rival and beat him it was all nagis decision #stop trying to blame isagi for everything #whatever sorry for the spoilers #blue lock rant #blue lock #reonagi #reo mikage #nagi seishiro #im not saying reo cant change his mind i just dont like the way they did it you know?

Whew childe, I feel you on the heat thing, we here in the south are going through it!! (We like to joke that if the heat don't get ya it's the humidity that will)

Loooord it's hard for me cuz my jobs building is super old and the ac dies constantly so it's humid INSIDE

wincing even harder, that sounds Absolutely Terrible! good luck dude, jeebus

#no yeah every day im thankful that i live in Dry intense heat #id rather be in an oven than a steamer yk yk #ive been to the south Once and the humidity itself was enough to make me go 'yeah im good. bye' #i hope you manage to stay cool-ish in these trying times #and that the humidity isn't completely unbearable. wishful thinking ik but yk #rambles from the bog #i mean. at least with dry heat eventually it stops feeling Hot #like stepping out into 120 Baked Like An Oven Air is just like 'oh. ok. everything is way too bright but i can deal' #its a lot better than late 90s early 100s imo #but add humidity to any degree... just shoot me lmfao #air shouldn't be Thick #but yeah good luck Good Luck #stay alive over there <3

had the most braindead repetitive conversation/argument with my parents. buzz cuts are too masculine but if you dye a design on it it become effeminate which is bad because then you look weak and if youre weak then society falls apart (all societies ever that have fallen apart for any reason are actually because of feminine men) and we start sacrificing babies. and also all mental illness is invented because only 4 people had anxiety in the 90s and covid was made up so that we would all become gay and trans and then the government can control us better and be joe biden's little sex slaves. and also i need to keep my hair long because my father finds it attractive. what

I wanted to make a cleaner summary of last week's classes and also review the classes I have this week since the material is already uploaded beforehand but I was feeling so horrible throughout the day that when I sat down I was just gonna look at the ones for tomorrow but I think I'm just gonna go to bed because I just gave my little numbers game a few tries and not even the joy of tribial elementary school-level math games is bringing my brain cells and/or full sentience back
