djsadbean:

for all the artist following me

• Have two sketchbooks: One for finished and high-quality art (stuff made with Prismacolor or Copic if you use that or art for your portfolio) and the other sketchbook for more messy doodles. This way you have a place to try new things and mess up as much as you need. When I only had one sketchbook I was scared to draw in it because I didn't want to mess it up
  
• Do studies. I cant tell you how much I've improved just by doing studies of shoes, hands, noses, and all that. This works for when you have art block too since you’re not really making stuff up and just learning how real things work.
• Learn from others. I’ve never taken a real art class because 1. I can’t afford it and 2. there’s no good art classes/programs at my school. I’ve been following several artists and learning from them over the years and they’ve helped me tremendously. Just please do not steal art because that is never okay.
• Break down concepts. If you notice there’s something wrong with your piece then figure out why. You can’t get better if you leave mistakes and don't try to understand whats going on. If the color is weird figure out if the values look right or maybe its the saturation of the color.
• Watch youtube tutorials. Here are some youtubers I think are pretty good art teaching all things art:
  
  Draw with Jazza |  DrawingWiffWaffles |  Proko |  Baylee Jae
  
  
• Have an inspiration folder/blog. Sometimes you just need a collection of starry nights or a misty forest or even a French bakery. All of those things can help you get inspired to draw. It could even be completely unrelated to what you plan to draw.
• There are no dumb ideas in the creative process. If you want to draw a lizard in a dress go for it! If you want to draw various pastries with faces do it! Don’t let the thought of it being too dumb stop you because if I’ve learned anything in my several years of drawing it’s that an idea can lead to another and another and another and you may get a really good idea just from doodling dumb things.

• Here’s a few things that can get you started on drawing better:
• Dynamic poses | Dynamic clothes | Dynamic figure drawing
• COMPOSITION | PERSPECTIVE | CONSTRUCTION
• Anatomy:
• Legs
• Arms
• Hands
• Heads
• Body (Female) (Male
• Color Theory
• Improving your sketchbook
  
  
  
• Most importantly, don’t give up! You may not immediately get notes or followers but it’s more important you get better than to have popularity. How do you think those popular artists got to where they are now? To be good you’ve got to work at it.

So I saw this video on tiktok and since Kiddo and I are both super bad at remembering to do things and to do lists just don’t seem to work I thought this was worth a try

So the key fobs came today and I filled them out.

As you can maybe see some are specific to me and some are more specific to kiddo but most are just general chores

The bracelet things should arrive Monday and then we can give it a go during this lockdown and I can report back how well it works!

Also since many supervillains have doctorates, all the certification exams have a question that asks: “I will use my doctorate to heal and protect and not become a supervillain in the near future”. It’s a true or false question. I love the implication that newbie college students will not lie on their certification exams.  

bats-ofgothamcity:

Nursing and Pre-Med majors don’t even have to worry about college costs, as they are always given the “Dr. Thomas Wayne scholarship”, even if they never applied for it. And they receive the BEST training in Gotham University (you gotta be able to treat patients with fear toxin in their systems, or were frozen by Mr.Freeze and have hyperthermia for days afterwards, were sprayed with Joker toxin and only have minutes before dying with a hideous grin, unfortunate goons who fought with a vigilante, and basically anything Poison Ivy related.)

However, due to Gotham being well Gotham, hospitals and clinics lose their staff at a alarming rate, causing potential medical students to change their majors out of fear of well, dying in a horrible supervillain related death. So Gotham University accepts anyone and everyone into their medical programs, despite the norm being that it is next to impossible to be accepted into nursing and med programs on the first try.

Also since many supervillains have doctorates, all the certification exams have a question that asks: “I will use my doctorate to heal and protect and not become a supervillain in the near future”. It’s a true or false question.

wonderingthevast:

But listen Gotham University gets a reputation. On one hand all of their science departments are cutting edge; but on the other, because of all the supervillains their graduates have very interesting resumes.

(A yes I did do my masters thesis under Dr. Crane, only because he was the only biochemist that was doing work related to the fear receptacles of the brain. Although my research was focused more on the inhibition fear and how it could potentially help with anxiety….but you know since I’m here in front of you that I’m very good under pressure and can reverse engineer various strains of fear gas in under an hour.)

Because of this Gotham science majors are grabbed by either Gotham companies or the government exclusively. You’re basically guaranteed a job if you survive until you graduate. (Even if you do go insane in the process the rogues are always hiring).

Most employers outside of Gotham avoid business majors due to the fact that they all interned at Wayne Interprises or Batman Inc and both of those are well known for their employee benefits. (Cutting costs by cutting paychecks, over staffing, and only hiring part time does not fly with these graduates… because “do you want supervillains because that is how you get supervillains” never mind that Gotham is an outlier in supervillain creation and should not have been counted)

Art majors are pretty much the only students who graduate unscathed. They are also weirdly calm for art majors and therefore highly sought after in their fields.

Weirdly for American colleges thier sports graduates are largely forgotten in the bustle until their season comes up. Gotham college teams are always always like a sucker punch to the gut. They’re very good but everyone always somehow forgets about their existence (only metropolis is immune to this strange affect due to the Gotham/metropolis rivalry) the teams rarely make it to the finals only because of hometown related bullshit (the entire team gets dosed with joker venom before a game/the city is Nomans land again and they can’t leave for the game/ivy took over the field again and now there’s endangered flowers covering it and they can’t practice or play.)

bardicjustice:

Gotham college student: yeah I’m majoring in psychology

Everyone else:

Given that all of the doctoral Rogues still have their doctorates mentioned when addressed by their full names, this means that they were never revoked. Similarly, given the sheer number of doctors that become Rogues, odds are that there are not that many doctors in Gotham that don’t have ties to crime in some way. With that in mind, picture a PhD student in Psychology trying to present their dissertation or thesis and the panel consists of Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, Hugo Strange, Dr. Jeremiah Arkham who might or might not be a villain that day, and the poor fool that they managed to con into working at Gotham University. Surprisingly, they all treat this with the seriousness one would expect from a committee that isn’t mostly comprised of supervillains.

Succulents that look like something out of this world

Clear Succulent Plant

Rose Succulents

Bunny Succulents

Some of the fantastically strange plants like the mermaid tail or the opal-like clear succulents look like they’re from another planet and something that aliens keep on their alien desks in their alien offices.

If you want to get one of these peculiar succulents for yourself or for your loved ones as a gift, the mermaid one is called a crested Senecio Vitalis while the clear one is the Haworthia Cooperi plant.

Haworthia succulents are popular because of their “leaf windows” which let in a lot of light for the plant. The “windows” also minimize water loss from evaporation because the rest of the plant is buried underground. Haworthia plants also have accordion-like roots that pull them deeper into the ground so that they can thrive.

Trachyandra

Albuca

Haworthia plants are easy to take care of and are great succulents for beginners: just pop them on the windowsill and they’ll be happy. Especially if you plop it into some gritty soil.

In general, succulents need plenty of light and you need to rotate them occasionally so all parts of it can enjoy the sun and to help it grow straight.

Overwatering is a big no-no, so check the soil regularly: if it’s dry, get your watering can ready. Also, keep in mind that succulents need more water during Spring and Summer and barely need any in Fall and Winter when they’re ‘resting.’ Finally, wipe the dust off your succulents to help them grow and become your picture-perfect plant-pals.

Cockwarming (18+) | Fushiguro Megumi

drabble

SYNOPSIS: You have brat tendencies and like to surprise him for when he wakes up.

INCLUDES: cockwarming, brat/dom

READER: female

WORDS: 330

WRITTEN: 01/10/2021

He was a man of few words, choosing to show his affection through tiny actions such as brushing your hair, summoning a Divine Dog so you could cuddle with it, or kissing your pretty lips to shut you up when you were being too loud during sex.

You were a kind person, but had tiny tendencies of doing brat-like actions such as randomly pushing your panties to the side and inserting his cock inside you in the middle of the night.

It didn’t matter if he was awake or not, but he noticed you liked to do it when he was asleep. He would always wake up to a rock hard cock inside your abnormally hot insides.
