My OC Jasper Making His Best Scary Face. He’s Normally More Human Looking, But Since He Can Morph Into

Lookin’ at you, Tumblr.

Grow up. Not everything is made to your demands, the people who make the decisions don’t care, and you’re only hurting people.

Sneak peek on the layout of the next theme drawing I've been working on. I'm liking the second one so far.⠀ 🔷⠀ October 25th was International Artist Day and I didn't hear about it until it was too late to celebrate. 😩 I'm kind of disappointed that this event wasn't more widely celebrated as I would've thought. I wonder if any of you celebrated that day?

Starting a month-long Figure Drawing Challenge course, taught by Pencil Kings. I’m hoping I can stick to it and not “drop the ball” like I have with my other projects. This is my ‘before the challenge’ sketch. 🔹 #art #drawing #sketch #artwork #draw #artistsoninstagram #sketchbook #artoftheday #arts #sketching #pencildrawing #artists #artistsofinstagram #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #drawingoftheday #pencilsketch #instadraw #sketchoftheday #artdaily #dailysketch #drawingsketch #sketchdaily #drawingchallenge #figuredrawing #pencilsketch #illustrator #artist #CrystaltheCC #CrystalCurie (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEYUTjiDJ82/?igshid=12e95524ukyd

gif example for the first 3:

another example of applying measuring:

I know poppin’ to be roughly 5 feet tall. I also know that, on average, the height of a room is at least 8 foot tall.

I also know that the pokémon centre has two levels to its base floor room, so I’m thinking it’s a bigger room than average but still a little less than two storeys tall. I decide to make it 12 feet tall, thats one and a half rooms. Considering the average size of pokemon is like, huge, it sounds about right to me.

So I measure that out:

then I add another floor on top, and that gives me the height of the building!

this is the same as measuring out the cubes, I just applied a number this time! the pokémon centre is about four poppin’s tall, or four cubes if you will

there’s all kinds of things you can do by using just a few lines to measure things out. I wanted to make sure hugh was taller so I measured that out too!

so when you’re drawing things like architecture instead of thinking of it as a big complex shape, break it down and think about the size and position of things - especially the edges - relative to each other, and you’ll find it much easier to draw.

It’s very time consuming, but if you’re patient you can draw anything no matter how complex :^)

Sorry for the lack of art guys! Who knew that the beginning of the year would be so busy? 😩 I'm trying to get back into a groove of drawing everyday, starting with yesterday's Cognitive Drawing exercise: draw a flexing man from memory (no references). How do y'all think I did? 🔹 Honestly I feel like I'm looking at one of my high school drawings. Not that bad, but not that great either. Let's see how much I learn with the next exercises yeah? 😁

Internet prepares for final online protest ahead of net neutrality CRA deadline

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 27, 2018 Contact: Evan Greer, 978-852-6457, press@fightforthefuture.org

Major web companies, celebrities, and thousands of Internet users to call on Congress to reverse FCC repeal

#CyberMonday wasn’t the only major Internet event this week. Internet activists, startups, celebrities, and major web companies are preparing for DeadlineForNetNeutrality.com, a final Internet-Wide Day of Action this Thursday, November 29th, ahead of the December 10th deadline for the House to act on the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution (H.J.Res. 129) to reverse the FCC’s resoundingly unpopular repeal of net neutrality protections.

The effort is backed by musicians and celebrities like Hollywood star Evangeline Lilly (Ant-Man and the Wasp, The Hobbit, Lost), Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, and EDM star Bassnectar, along with startups and major web companies like online selling platform Etsy, delivery service Postmates, publishing platform Tumblr, Private Internet Access VPN, popular blog BoingBoing, domain registrar Namecheap, search engine StartPage, and speaker company Sonos.

On Thursday thousands of Internet users will sign an open letter to Congress containing a heartfelt plea to overturn the FCC’s repeal. Then users will be asked to submit an “I support net neutrality” photo to show House reps the human face of net neutrality supporters. Over 2000 photos have already submitted and activists have pledged to flood lawmakers’ social media feeds with photos between now and the deadline. While the open letter is addressed to all of Congress, Fight for the Future will be putting additional pressure on the handful of remaining Democrats who have yet to support the CRA despite the party’s repeated promise to help restore net neutrality.

“These folks are taking on the telecom lobby machine and fighting for a free, open, and uncensored Internet,” said Tom Morello, “Net neutrality is the free speech fight of this generation and time is running out. It’s time for the Internet to rise up again.”

“This is not a partisan issue, the battle for the net is a fight for our most basic freedoms. People from across the entire political spectrum can agree that we don’t want anyone to control or manipulate what we see and do on the Internet,” added actress Evangeline Lilly.

“Net neutrality is not dead yet. Not even close,” said Evan Greer, deputy director of Fight for the Future (pronouns: she/her), “But as the clock runs out for this Congress to act, we have an opportunity to show the entire world which elected officials are willing to fight for net neutrality, and which ones decide to sit on their hands and let big telecom companies take control over what we can see and do on the Internet.”

Finally finished Theme #2 School! Again, I ended up taking more time than I wanted to in order to finish this. I'm going to continue trying to make more time to work on these Themes so schoolwork doesn't eat up my time. 🔹 I don't have much to say about this scene, other than my OC Helyna (pictured here) loves reading books, so I thought this scene would be most fitting for her. One thing that kind of bugs me about this scene is that it's too orange. I would've liked a better color balance, so that's something for me to keep in mind for future Themes. 🔹 I wish school were this peaceful. 😣 Lately, it feels like I've been in a whirlwind of busyness. I'm not sure what else to do other than to keep moving forward and constantly trying to utilize my time better. 🔹 Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy! And to my fellow college students, best of luck on your studies! 😊✏️📚

Beautifully haunting 😊💀
