Dear TMNT

ALL I GOTTA SAY IS....

DONT TELL ME APRIL DOESNT LOVE DONNIE JUST AS MUCH AS DONNIE LOVES HER,  THAT GIRL CRIED OVER HIM AND DESTROYED HER DEMONS FOR HIM THEN BROUGHT HIM BACK TO LIFE. 

ALSO CASEY REALLY SHOWED THAT HE DEEPLY CARES ABOUT HER, BUT HE ALSO CARES A LOT ABOUT DONATELLO. 

Just thought that needed to be cleared.

I watched the episode for the third time today, and all I need to say is, wow, that was beautiful. Right now, I need fanart, I need fanfics, and lots of AMVs. 

@peterdicicco You did such a great job, especially with Casey, he was such a good supporter, and gave the right emotions at the most needed moments.

Was it just me, or did anyone else heard voice change of Donnie in the beginning, like it still sounded like Rob, but just his voice kept getting deeper in certain moments of the episode, it kept throwing me off lol.

Like everyone else, I loved it when Raph mentioned Donnie, it was a powerful moment, and the flashbacks of my purple masked turtle was….well the feels were there.

I was actually very surprised they killed Donnie, and yes, they killed him, she tore him into bits, idc what anyone says, in my eyes she killed him, but with just her powers she was able to bring him back. 

Speaking of that moment, the way April ran to Donnie…They just need to kiss already dammit. Haha, sorry Apriltello feels are still in me xD But that two was a powerful moment, it really showed how much she loves Donnie. And yes, I very much believes she loves him more than a friend, and no this isnt just me saying this cause im a shipper, but just the way she threw herself into his arms and cried over his demise, I dunno maybe its just wishful thinking, but i really believe she loves him, she just doesnt really realize that yet. They are like freakin Ron Stoppable and Kim Possible okay. xD

What else can i mention that I already havent?

The animation was beautiful. The colors, the way it just moved so naturally. Especially the way they did April’s hair. Usually some shows would half ass that kinda thing but nope, they really made it to where it was actual hair.

WE SHOULD MAKE A PETITION TO HAVE APRILS HAIR LIKE THAT FOR THE REST OF THE SHOW! JUST SAYING LOL.

The voice actors were excellent! Mostly Mae’s she made it to where I could just feel April’s agony and suffering, along with Rob who did excellent with Donnie as he usually does!

Now Ive been seeing more negativity about this episode, and thats fine, if you dont like the episode, its prefectly okay, but please understand that this episode wasnt going to be, darker or written out like a one hour drama would be, why? well for one, its limited time, for two yes its a kids cartoon, and the way they killed Donnie these guys are already pushing the boundaries, so this episode wont be perfect, and itll have its negatives, but lets try to focus on the positives, and just feel the emotional stuff that this episode implies. 

And again it is perfectly okay if you do not like this episode. That is your choice, this was just my little in put for it.

Also I should touch on this since many are mad at Raph for suggesting to put April down, we all know Raph, he just saw his little brother get blown up into dust particles, so of course his head wouldnt be right to judge, they all werent, except for Mikey, but if you really look at him, he was in a heated spot too before he realized who he throwing his anger, sorrow at, so remember all of these guys just watched a family member die, the other member is getting possessed like the freakin exorcist so of course they wouldnt think to quickly. Just another input of mine.

I really hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did! It was a great way to celebrate the 100th episode.

I miss drawing her so much you guys have no idea🥲🥲🥲💛💛💖💛💖💛💕

you'll get the urge as an artist or a writer to say out loud the things you're worried about "the proportions are off" "kind of out of character" "i'm not good at summaries" "didn't get as much detail as i wanted" "i made a mistake and here's how" and that's the self-conscious part of your brain telling you "it's bad and if you don't tell them you know it's bad then they'll think you're stupid" but you've got to ignore that little voice and pretend you think it's good or else that little voice is going to ruin your life

I did it myself🫡✨

AHAHHAHA THIS IS PEERRRFEECCTT~!!!!😂😂💜💜💜💜💜💯💯❤💖❤💖❤💕💕

For all my turtle fuckers.

Congratulations, you are a writer! Prepare to get:

Characters popping up in your dreams

Characters popping up in your head everytime, like, damn it, Jason, I’m taking an exam here!

Weird habits you picked from your characters

The urge to make faces as you write because that’s what your characters are doing

Weird internet history

A really unsettling knowledge on poisons and murder in general

The urge to slam your face on your desk

Notebooks and notebooks cravings, even if you write on your computer

Those I wish there was more content for my characters. Oh, right. I have to make it moments.

The same daydream before falling asleep, and sometimes you cut it and restart from scrap, now with more feeling.

The urge to insert your new obsession in your current WIP but you don’t have guns in middle ages damn it.

The painful experience of wanting to tell everybody about it but at the same time not wanting anybody to know

A thousand ideas or none at all for months.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

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, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

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. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

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. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

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. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually 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. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)

NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.

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.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.
