PSA: Hate Anon Spambots
It’s really gross that someone would do this, but there’s spambots going around right now spreading really horrible, hateful asks and IMs.
I’ve seen them on about ten different blogs that I follow, now. These particular screenshots are taken from @siins because I wanted to get this post up here quick, and they did a really good job of describing the content in a nongraphic manner:
Please signal boost this! If you get these messages, please don’t click on the links or reply to the messages – flag and block the sender immediately!
And if you’re sensitive to things like this, PLEASE turn off anons for the time being and limit messages to blogs that you follow. I promise your friends and followers will understand. (You can find these settings via the person icon > Settings > [Your Blog Name] > Ask/Messaging.)

Crowdfunded Game Console Is Made Out of Tape, Cardboard, and Fake Circuits
Crowdfunded Game Console Is Made Out of Tape, Cardboard, and Fake Circuits:
This is one of the weirdest and most hilariously drama-laden stories I’ve ever written about. Please enjoy a twisting, turning saga of trying to crowdfund a collector console in the worst imaginable ways.
This reads like a fucking ed edd and eddy episode

Secret to how to get better ;)
Alright, a lot of people have messaged/noted/dm'ed me on how to get better, and really, this is how I got better. I also have a list of books I recommend on my deviant art journal.
Now this advice is for any art that needs good draftsmanship. This includes anime, so don’t think you don’t need this just because you just want to do stylized artwork. Understanding how things work in reality gives you the tools to bend it in a way that won’t look strange and broken, because you then know how much to push the style without breaking it. Also, style is normally developed, not by blindly copying one artist you like.
I started getting serious by studying anatomy books, observing and studying artists I liked, and did master studies. I copied them for practice, no tracing, no grids, and digitally, only eye-drop colours to study which combination and saturation they used. Copy a whole anatomy book and I bet you’ll get better.
When I got to a decent level, I upped the ante and started going to life drawing. I would go to open life-drawing sessions at least 2-3 hours a day, 5 days a week in my first and second year of college, and when I wasn’t life drawing I was doing art for homework, drawing personal art or just doodling.
I’d carry a small sketchbook with me everywhere. If I sat down at a restaurant with my family and we were waiting for food, I’d sketch; if I went on the subway or bus, I’d be that creepy person staring at people and sketching them lol; and sometimes I’d go to the cafe to sketch people (aka Cafe-sketching). Some people find it more fun to sketch with a bunch of friends.
I also memorized about 100 bone names and how to draw their front, side and back, and which one is which; I also memorized about 200 different muscles and which bone it was attached from and where it’s attached to, and where to draw them on a life-drawing model. Most of those are good for understanding where the exterior landmarks of the bodies are. There was a whole summer where I went to the zoo every day to draw animals. (I have friends who went for longer but animals really weren’t my focus)
And remember, this isn’t a race. Just have fun alternating between studying and doodling your own stuff. Art blocks are a great chance to just practice.
Wow, if you got through all of that, here’s a cookie 🍪I won’t be opening my messages and stuff any time soon, so if you have any questions, check my tutorial page, http://qinni.tumblr.com/tagged/tutorial :)
