do you have any advice for drawing kitties? I would love to start my own clangen blog but the actual art is my final hurdle
honestly the biggest advice i have is that references are your best friend. find good drawings of cats and trace them to figure out the shapes, observe the way that the muscles twist and the joints bend, eventually you'll start to figure out the shapes on your own--though i think that references will always be important, no matter how good of an artist you are
my second biggest advice is do it bad. draw it and try not to care about how it looks--because it WILL look bad sometimes!!! and you will never stop having art that sometimes looks bad. it will never come out looking exactly the way you want it to, and spending all your time doing sketches that don't work the way you're hoping will only leave you with a hundred half finished drawings. do it bad
“in order to create loving males we need to love males” means teach boys that they can be themselves without being less of a man. it means being encouraging and nurturing of their emotions so they don’t become cold and hateful. it means showing boys, early in their lives, that they have value outside of what our society deems proper masculinity. what it doesn’t mean is that it’s our job to handhold men who see women as walking sex toys through the concept of empathy, and maybe if we’re really really nice to them and don’t say things that hurt their feelings they’ll stop killing us for saying no
so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
