*grabbing your shoulders* listen to me. are you listening? The number of notes on your art is not equivalent to how good your art is.....do you got that? youre okay? Im just telling you that your worth as a creator is not measured by the amount of likes you have. Im telling you that whatever you make and post is good because you made and posted something. Okay darling? Okay.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

this is quite possibly the softest picture in existence

hi, there is no correlation between your weight & your worth

DELAYED DUETS from SUNDAYS ON THE COUCH WITH GEORGE - Joe Iconis (Episod...

This is insanely silly and wholesome, love love love love love love love love love love love love!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Do you happen to have any Jake headcanons, thoughts, art, or whatever to spare??? Trying to cause a surge in Jake content for myself because I love him!!

HELL YES

I LOVE MY BOY JAKE, HE DESERVES THE WHOLE WORLD!!!

Here aare some headcanons :D

He's half North American, half Australian.

A pansexual icon, tho he doesn't really care about labels.

He needs to use a wheelchair - he can still stand up and walk on good days, but the fire + his squip kind of fucked up his legs.

Christine, Rich and him customized his wheelchair with funky stickers that glow in the dark.

Still thinks his parents are good people and looks up to them (they are really shitty parents, even if he can't see it).

After Michael told his mom's about Jake living in a crappy motel, they offered him a room in their house.

Michael and Jake are brothers now, your honor. Like, he's a Mell now, they have adopted him, they are a family now, even if at first they were kind of awkward around the other.

He's clearly talented with music, though he doesn't really see it and doesn't do anything with it.

Plays the violin since he was twelve, though he abandoned it after a few years. He still likes to play it when he's bored.

He's in his highschool choir with Brooke. He's a really good singer.

His flirting skills are so lame, but somehow they work??? Like, with Christine - he can say the most pathetic things ever and still sound really charming? Tho I fear that's just canon.

Big fun of Y2k/2010's white girl music, like Kate Perry, Miley Cirus, Kesha, Avril Lavigne...

A sitcom enjoyer - he probably likes them a little too much, especially the ones that revolve around families (The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Modern Family, Full House...), mostly because his parents were never around that much, so he ended up attaching himself to the families he saw on TV.

When he was younger, he used to be love Adventure Time! It's kind of his comfort show now, because of how nostalgic it makes him feel.

Severely allergic to dogs, which is so fucking depressing because he wants to hug them SO BAD. He's such a dog person. His squip is obviously Air Buddy.

He's also lactose intolerant and Chloe likes to make fun of him for it.

He has watched High School Musical at least 20 times. (Had a crush on both Troy and Gabriella lmao)

He had a goldfish when he was six, called Finn. It died after two months because his dad accidently broke the fishbowl and didn't care enough to buy a new one so he just... flushed it? Yeah, that emotionally scarred Jake for life.

GIFTED KID BURNOUT GOES BRR

He's always trying new things out so he can have his mind occupied and just... stop thinking about everything wrong with his life.

He really cares about Chloe, and he genuinely likes her, the problem is they are so toxic as a couple and neither of them are in the right headspace for a relationship. They don't usually bring out the best of the other. Problem is they don't see it, so they keep running into eachother because they have some attachment issues they'd need to work on separately before engaging in such relationship. It's a closed cycle, I fear. I'd really like to talk more about them bc their relationship is so interesting.

Richjake. That's it that's the headcanon. I just think they're neat.

Goes iice-skating with Christine every winter.

I just KNOW he loves Sweater Weather.

I'd have to write a whole essay (or a fanfic) on why I think he engages in substance abuse, specially after his parents left.

Has a bit of religious trauma I JUST KNOW.

Brooke, Michael and him celebrate movie night at least twice a month.

He's dyslexic and enjoys reading but usually struggles to concentrate, so that's why he prefers audiobooks. He usually listens to them when he's going for a run or clinking his room. He also listens to them when he goes to sleep because he can't sleep with no noise.

Christine turned him into a theater kid. His favorite musical is Legally Blonde, and is the only peace of media that will make him cry.

I wished I could show some fanart, especially one I have where Jake and Rich are standing inside a closet and the thingy from Episode appears with the "So this is seven minutes in heaven?" and they give you the options of "MAKE OUT?!?!?!" and "Strangle him with a coat hanger". I love that fanart, but it's in the sketchbook I share with my bestie and he currently has 👊😔

there's a really funny 3d printing controversy going on btw.

if you don't know, there's a very popular 3d printing model out there called "benchy". this is used for benchmarking your 3d printer because it's a difficult print and will help test it out.

this is so widely used that people make their own little versions of it, remixing the 3d model to make benchy look cooler and stuff. however, a new company owns the benchy license. they are sending copyright takedowns to all those who wrongfully uploaded the benchy model.

of course, this is pissing off the 3d printing community greatly. everyone loved benchy and have used it for years. so someone on reddit decided to make a new model that is designed as a 3d printing stress test. one that works a lot like benchy, and people are freely able to edit it as they please. you know what they called it?

boaty.

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)

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.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Sorry not sorry but all the sweet juicy validation coming my way from this trash is fueling my inspiration for the concept, will draw Mikey soon !! (Now tagging this AU stuff with “Chrissy Mikey Swap”)
