Can we talk about this?!

HEY remember in WWII when Jewish people were fleeing Germany and the USA put a quota on how many Jewish immigrants they would accept because they were worried there were too many Jewish people coming over to the USA???

Reminder that the USA has always been fucking garbage to immigrants and basic humanity

you’re really good at painting clothes so! i was wondering if its not too much to ask, if you could do some quick tips/tricks or a short tutorial!! thank u and god bless

Aaah thank you! Well, first things first; learn from reference! You can google fabric reference or even just outfits and pay attention to the way the fabric swoops and curls around the form that its surrounding.

Here the fabric sweeps downwards, but comes up at a much tighter, sharper angle into his hand and bunches up within his palm. The material layers overtop of each other

This fabric is very loose and shimmery, and within the overlapping folds your shadows will be most prevalent to give it dimension of being layered.

Even with skin tight fabric there will always be creased, wrinkles, and layers where the material is pushed together. It is important to capture that! Whether the fabric is tight, or very loose. The tighter, the less wrinkle typically if it is pulled taught, while looser fabric will have more swooping lines of flow and tend to be thickly “banded” with spread out areas.

here is our mannequin torso for the purpose of visualization of the render process!

I start with the basic shape of what I want my clothes to be, and then i go from there to decide which way my fabric will be sweeping

now I block in colors, I always use a middle tone of the shade i want instead of the pure shade that I’m aiming for. The shade I’m aiming for I will use as a highlight to be where my lightsource is casting

I typically merge down at this point as I prefer to paint on one layer, and i start to blend and loosely figure out the way i’m going to further express the drape of my fabric

I refine and increase my brightness and darkness according to what i feel is needed to achieve my chosen contrast

refine, blend, and adjust as you need and to your personal preference! 

that is how i usually go about painting fabric

Full offense but some of y’all need to stop using a tragedy to smugly assert your feelings on European multiculturalism or your contempt for Ariana Grande. A bunch of teenagers died and their only crime was wanting to enjoy watching their favorite artist sing. Lots of people are hurt and separated from their families and friends and afraid. Ariana herself is probably traumatized and feeling undue guilt for the loss of life among her fans. I completely agree that Islamic terrorism is a real problem and we need to stop pretending like it isn’t, but that doesn’t mean you should treat the actual victims of these attacks like pawns in your little “I told you so” Game and forget any human empathy.

Why are girls embarrassed when in a bra and underwear yet eager to be in an even more revealing bikini?

Consent.

If a girl is out in her bikini, she wants to be seen. She is outside because she wants to be and she is showing her body because she wants to.
If you catch a girl in her bra and underwear and she’s embarrassed, then she did not consent to be seen. You have violated her personal space at a time that she does not want to be seen.

In one scenario she’s chosen to show her skin and in the other she didn’t.

It’s not that hard to understand.

i never wanna see this BS again god

Listen, no matter what your fave youtuber/”health guru” says, the following things are absolute bullshit:

  • Juice cleanses do not do anything health-wise! Except probably lead to you getting insufficient calories for the duration! There is nothing to “cleanse”, because…
  • Your body does not have a “build up of toxins” you can detox away. Either your liver and kidneys are sorting shit out, or you’re experiencing severe health problems and should see a doctor. In particular, the idea you have a build up of heavy metal in your cells is ABSURD. Trust me. You’d know. “Toxins” is a word with no legal definition which is therefore not monitored in advertising. It means nothing.
  • Detox/weight loss teas are just mild laxatives. I wish people would stop advertising these things. I know we’re all broke and want that sponsership, but they’re not good things.
  • Something being vegan, gluten-free, “all natural”, etc. does not mean it cannot be bad for you. It does not necessarily mean it is better for you. It just means… it is those things.
  • If you ingest more of a nutrient than your body needs, the rest is wasted. It isn’t used by the body. Unless you have a vitamin deficiency, taking supplements is useless. And expensive.
  • Oh, and for the record, it’s not dangerous but you don’t need “eight glasses of water a day”. A lot of water comes from the food you eat. Also, any liquid that isn’t as strong a diuretic as, say, alcohol? Works to hydrate you. I mean, staying hydrated is good, but the eight glasses a day thing isn’t true. Just drink when you need water.

#this is all true#plus the tea thing is important#because being on laxatives for that long can actually give you bowel cancer#for serious

yep if you wanna drink tea and be healthy just find a type of nice green/herbal tea you like and brew it properly

Weirdly anti-millennial articles have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now two feet down into the topsoil

its so wild like “this generation with no fucking money is learning to prioritize essentials” and all these chucklefucks can write is advertisements for these companies

at least our jeans won’t tear at the seams after two washes

FUCK FABRIC SOFTENER IT’S UTTERLY POINTLESS

AND FUCK DRYER SHEETS LITERALLY NOBODY EVER HAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM WITH STATIC TO WARRANT PAYING OUT THE ASS FOR THAT SHIT

DO YOU WANT CLEAN CLOTHES? YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO BUY FUCKING DETERGENT JUST MAKE YOUR OWN* IT’S SO GODDAMN EASY AND 80X CHEAPER

FUCK THE ENTIRE LAUNDRY INDUSTRY

*Fuck The Entire Laundry Industry Recipe

1 cup Washing Soda (not Baking Soda. Different things.)

1 cup Borax (not Boric Acid. Also a different thing.)

½ cup – 1 cup grated bar soap (you can use literally anything. I often use Ivory because it’s easy to get and I find it works well, a lot of people like Fels-Naptha, which is an actual laundry bar. Some people use Dr. Bronner’s. Really does not fucking matter.)

After grating your soap, combine all ingredients. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Use maybe a ¼ cup per load.

^^^ I’ve done this for years now and it works as well as any store bought detergent

WHAT
Thank you, tumblr user awfullydull! Your URL does no justice to the good advice you give!

Also you can MAKE your own washing soda very VERY cheaply.

Step one: acquire $5 bag of baking soda from Costco.

Step two: lay that motherfucking baking soda out on a baking tray.

Step three: bake the baking soda on a tray in an oven at 400° for 1 hour (to make the moisture evaporate, leaving washing soda)

Step four: revel in how easy and cheap it is to make your own washing soda, and maybe take a moment to be angry that the industry upcharges the fuck out of something that is so easy to make.

I see some of y’all complaining about static and/or wanting nice smelling laundry. Go to a craft store, find 100% wool yarn balls. If it doesn’t come in a ball, ask an employee to make it into a tight ball for you. Wash in the washing machine to make it felted. Remove from washer, add a few drops of essential oil to the ball, allow to seep in. Dry with clothing. Doesn’t need to be rewashed ever, and if it stops smelling, add few more drops of essential oil. Bam, reusable dryer sheets.

I love this post so much it’s filled with helpful advice, hatred, saving money, and fucking the system all in one
