a quick grass tutorial

I’ve never really wrote a tutorial before so apologies if this is bad

1. okay first thing I do is pick three colors, a mid, dark, and light. I like to check the colors in greyscale to make sure there’s enough contrast between each one.

I then plop down a blob of whatever my middle tone color is.

2. next, I take my dark color and just sort of randomly place it around. I try to make sure there’s a good amount of both the mid and dark tones spread throughout. I personally like to keep it kinda messy. I also have pen pressure on for both brush size and opacity, so I can have some blending action going on.

3. for the next step I do the exact same thing as before, except with the light color.

4. aight this is where we start adding details. see how you just have a bunch of colors and edges where two colors meet? use the eyedropper and go to an area where two colors meet, eyedrop a color, and then use that color to draw in your grass blades. I do this at every point where colors meet. should note I personally like to use a square brush, but you can really just use anything.

5. you can technically stop at the last step if you’re going for a more simple look, but to add more details I go to the “empty” areas of solid color and just draw in random strokes using a color nearby. it’s just a way to fill up the empty space.

6. basically more of the same idea of eyedropping and drawing. for more variety so things look interesting, I like to add random plant shapes.

7. and so the grass doesn’t look too plain, I add random dots of color and pretend it’s flowers and stuff.

and there you have it, this is how I approach drawing grass.

my little sister just found out at school that you can create a religion and wants me to help her turn Halloween into a year long religion. And i  never knew i wanted this until now. We will be the Halloween Cult. I am so ready for this.

I told my dad I’d rather watch voltron than have a life and he said I’m a loser lmfao reblog if you’d rather watch voltron than be successful

I found this camera on the subway and look what was inside...

my uterus realizing we aren’t having a baby after building up a lining for three weeks:

Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “JIF.”

And here is the link for the opposite.

Ok so I just finished watching dr.strange and some pretty cool stuff happened. I found out that his necklace, the eye of agamotto, is the time stone. That means that there's only one more infinity stone left to find in all the marvel movies, the soul stone. I also believe in the alphabet theory, where the names of the infinity stones spell the name thanos (T=tesseract, H=hela(?), A=aether, N=necklace, O=orb, and S=scepter) I know it's not accurate, but it makes sense to me.

getting bullied at art school is the worst bc not only are you getting picked on by people who post voltron discourse but every mean thing they say to you is verbatim lifted from a text post you’ve already seen and that has damaged my self respect in a way that nothing else ever could
