See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

I’m Pixel (or Kris if you wanna make Deltarune jokes), He/They/Xe pronouns for me, I’m a minor, and I have ADHD so y’all will be getting my insanity-produced ramblings

I may or may not be a system, still figuring shit out but if someone’s fronting when I post they’ll sign off with their name

My other blogs are @pixelpalettesart (my art blog), @swsh-incorrect-quotes (a half-dead SwSh incorrect quotes blog), and @dusty-fields-and-broken-hearts (a blog about the book I’m writing lmao). This blog used to be a Pokémon ask blog named The Train to Nowhere but I need to rework that :thumbsup:

Btw I block people if I think they’re b0ts (censoring just in case it causes more to show up lmao), aka having no PFP or a PFP of a real person with no posts, or posts that are inappropriate in nature, etc., so there’s your warning

Looking at Pinterest drawing tutorials to make myself angrier and more full of rage

Much has been said about unrealistic female anatomy, but is it not even more bizarre and fucking terrible that <90% of generic male drawing tutorials show some kind of monstrous aftermath of bodybuilding, steroids and extreme dehydration and are like "this is a basic male torso"

In the nicest way possible, if you see this as "basic" male anatomy and all other possibilities as variations on this, your art will be Not Good except in circumstances of dumb luck

99% of men Do Not look like this, ever, at all, and out of those that ever do, they Do Not look like this 99% of the time.

Abs don't appear defined unless you're tensing and flexing your whole abdomen, and they don't appear that defined unless you're unhealthily dehydrated. You don't get abs like that in the first place unless you're doing intense workouts, dumping protein in everything you eat, and probably restricting food unhealthily specifically to get that kind of look

But it's not a problem just because it's unrealistic, it's a problem because it betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of what muscle is and does.

Like, drawing bodies in dynamic poses is not going to be very fun for you if you don't get that muscle is squishy when relaxed and you're imagining it as this tough, stiff pulley system

like, if you look at renaissance and baroque paintings of men, which were painted by masters of anatomy who did intensive studies including disections to learn how to depict the male body, the men in those paintings and sculptures DONT look like the above. they almost never have defined abs.

for instance, if you look at rubens abduction of ganymede,

image

an idealised figure of a man who is meant to be very attractive. hes literally ganymede! but not only does he not have abs, you can see rolls of fat where his trunk bends. his arms are clearly muscular but the dehydrating looking hyperdefinition is clearly lacking. below is michelangelo, who specialized in painting extremely muscular men and did more dissections than the average doctor (apologies for image quality but it shows my point)

image

so yeah please dont learn to draw men from tutorials that look like that. learn it from secret pope-sanctioned dissections

as someone who doesn't draw realistically at all yeah reblog art things

Warning: do not delete any sideblogs

candychameleon

I’ve been seeing it happen to a handful of people, but apparently if you try to delete your sideblog you will end up deleting your MAIN tumblr account entirely as well

I don’t know if this is a bug or something, but I’ve seen it happen to ~4 people now, so until this possible bug gets worked out do NOT delete any of your sideblogs unless you want to risk deleting your account entirely

oh boy reblog important
