As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.
Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.
📺Here is my list:
Proko (Free)
Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)
Aaron Rutten (free)
BoroCG (free)
Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
Jesus Conde (free)
Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)
SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)
Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.
📚Here is my list:
The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.
"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.
"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.
"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.
Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.
As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.
For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.
💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.
Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)
Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)
Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)
PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
Krita (Free)
mypaint (free)
FireAlpaca (free)
Libresprite (free, for pixel art)
Those are the ones I can recall.
So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.
I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.
This post has been live for 19 hours, and they’re not pulling in nearly enough attention, I assume because everyone’s so fucking exhausted by the shit with CSP happening just last week.
I cannot stress enough: ADOBE IS THE IMPORTANT TARGET. Way more important than Clip Studio.
They set industry standards. They can force changes like this without giving a fuck about individual customers, because by and large their products are licensed hand over fist by everyone in the entertainment industry.
This is absolutely the time to mob the shit out of Adobe’s mentions.
"So will a group of samurai be too much for you? They're wanted criminals so they'll probably fight"
"As if, I warm up beating up samurai in the wild"

When Itto can get Sara to sleep in past 5:05, he becomes physically aggressive if he thinks something might wake her up thus cheating him out of his tengu cuddle pillow
Do not disturb pls
For today’s page you receive momPlumeria and her sonboy Raf
————————————————————–
some mom-son trivia for you
-Of all the mom-son duos, Plumeria and Raf are prolly the most wholesome and cooperative with each other. Guzma is a bit jealous but that might be because Camillia is willing to swing on him with little to no notice
-Raf is a very physical affection type kid and since Guzma is still a bit eek’d out in parenting by his own upbringing, Plumeria was free to indulge him without much interference. So its not uncommon to see him pressed up to her side with her hand on his head
-The longest they’ve ever gone without speaking to each other was about 48 hours when Plumeria was stuck in Malie after a landslide and it gave Raf such bad separation anxiety that he has trouble going to school
I’m not a mentally well person, have my fair share of fears, anxieties and depression. Lots of smothered memories that come up as intrusive thoughts. Lately its gotten pretty bad and I’ve leaned hard on drawing and writing to keep it all away. But I think I’ve earned my bad day. I shouldn’t say that. You don’t have to work yourself to the mental bones before you say “ya know what? I need a day of not dealing with this crap”. Don’t let it get that bad. Don’t ever get to the point you feel you need permission to breathe. We all need to breathe. And we all need to live.
Don’t bottle it up. Don’t smother it away thinking it’ll pass. Its ok to talk to someone. Hell you can talk to me, I’m one message away. I may not understand but I will listen. Ok?
