If They Don't Learn, We Won't Stop.

George Floyd’s murderers are now being charged but that’s just a drop in the bucket.

Breonna was sleeping in her own bed while these COWARDS broke in and started shooting. How many people knew that cops could obtain no knock warrants before she died? I didn’t.

How absolutely petrifying is that? That cops can get a warrant to break into your home without announcing themselves as cops first.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

We March! We Fight! We Prevail!

This blog will always be pro-choice! And if you don't like that, then feel free to fuck off.

The constant warriors obsessed struggle of deciding whether to work on cat art wips, play clangen, or reread the books.

reblog and put in the tags how many playlists you have on spotify and what your two favourite ones are

aah i love your art, and liro's an absolute darling! i hope it's not too much trouble that i ask but how did you get so good at visualizing canine anatomy? i always have trouble making anatomy look convincing, they seem to always look one dimensional and flat. thank you and have a nice day!

Aaa thank you so much (and I know, right? I would be completely lost without Iiro). <3 

Well, I was lucky enough to grow up with dogs all around me (my first neighbourhood was inhabited by many German Shepherd Dog enthusiasts, including my parents), so I’ve spent a huge portion of my life observing their body structure and movements. I may not know all of the dog anatomy tips and tricks whatsoever but I’ve developed a strong sense of knowing what ~*~looks~*~ right and what does not. On top of that I’ve had a ton of repetitive practice.

I bet anybody can get better at doggo anatomy though. Genuine interest in learning all about your drawing subject goes far. Most of those Really Damn Good Artists that I know of use references and do regular life drawing sessions, so those two things are another key to effective learning (it should also help your brain to understand perspective and forms better! You mentioned that your dogs look “flat”, I’m by no means a professional and haven’t seen your drawings so I don’t know for sure but that to me sounds like you could benefit from practicing forms and perspective?).

You didn’t ask for this asdfg but here’s a handful of woof tutorials etc. that have helped me in the past, maybe you/somebody else reading this will find them useful:
