bitch

So let’s just list the MOST RECENT things that have happened that have basically caused the rioting.

1. A black guy was jogging, gets basically lynched by three white guys, and the white guys don’t get arrested or prosecuted for 2 months and ONLY BECAUSE people protested.

2. Cops barge into a black families home without a warrant i the middle of the night, the man defends himself with a gun under the assumption they were robbers. The Cops then kill his wife and arrest the man.

3. A white woman is asked politely by a black man to leash her dog in the park that requires dogs to be leashed. She then KNOWINGLY uses her white privilege to threaten this black man by saying she will call the police and tell them that an “African American Man” is threatening her life.

4. A black guy is suspected of using a fake $20 bill so the cops are called on him. He is handcuffed and pinned to the ground. The cop then kneels on the mans neck for over 8 minutes until the man eventually dies.

And these are just the things that I remember hearing about within the last few weeks. And now there are riots, looting, and protests. So.

The world is interesting.

People are acting like these protesters are over reacting, and acting foolish.

Yeah I’m not denying that some of them are probably dumb kids that are just going along for the ride, but the fact of the matter is that this is all just a thing that was bound to happen. The looting may seem stupid. The burning down of buildings may seem like a foolish thing for the protester to do. But honestly its necessary.

There are already lives lost everyday to police brutality so a few more lost for the sake of justice is not really a big deal over all.

You can’t be noticed by people until you start becoming an inconvenience to them. 

Peaceful protests have been happening by the Black Lives Matter people for years but you know what those people have been faced with? “all lives matter/ blue lives matter.” Nothing but ridicule and belittlement. People don’t take you seriously until you’re a threat.

At least the protests aren’t too violent so far. So far its fires and fireworks and tear gas. I’m just worried when it escalates a bit too far. Where ever that line is drawn I don’t know. At what point are the protests going to stop I wonder? 

Even though their problem was with the British government (taxation without representation), the tea they threw overboard belonged to business owners. And I doubt there were no casualties/victims. Someone was on that ship guarding the cargo.

I wonder what the people of the time called them. They probably called them thugs. They probably called them looters. Rioters. Violent.

And it WAS violent. The chain of events that their action sparked was violent. But now we look back and think of them as brave. As heroes. We know that it started a revolution.

Because we know…we KNOW…that when a people is systematically oppressed, when they are not being listened to, when the people who hold power think of them as less than, when justice for those people is too often not served…

And when those people have TRIED peaceful protests (Do we need to bring up Colin Kaepernick and how much hate and vitriol he received for kneeling? For KNEELING?) and were ridiculed and hated for it and STILL not listened to …

Sometimes, revolution is necessary.

Nothing else has worked. Nothing else has worked, and so, the oppressed are being loud. With every action, they are screaming “Can you hear me now?”

And if all lives really mattered to people who keep throwing that phrase back at the cries, then people wouldn’t have to keep reminding them that black lives matter in the first place.

And so, yeah…even though most of the protests/protesters are peaceful, some of them have turned violent. And I’m not saying whether or not that’s right or effective…but I understand it.

Good God in Heaven I understand it.

YOU never experienced this. YOU never got your friends or family shot in the streets and then was told there was nothing they could do while the cop that shot them roams free.

shut the fuck up if you think that your privileged ass is more important than this movement because it inconveniences you and its "bEiNg tOo mUch"

BLACK LIVES FUCKING MATTER. FUCK BLUE LIVES. AND IF YOU DISAGREE UNFOLLOW ME AND GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Well, heed my english though, english isn’t even my first language so I hope this list of tips helps you ton!! I just drew all of these now tho:

when drawing a body, there are 3 layers each, the chest , the abdomen and the waist. Reminder that they are separated in bent shapes but are joined accordingly. It kinda gives of a posture?

Joints are the reason that helps arms to maintain its shape equally, plus always make the parallel joints equal to the other when drawing a static body

or in general. its the territory  of the arm??

Fr the hands, for me in most parts, I learned to love to draw hands after I knew about that a square is the basis of drawing hands.

(ps. credits to my brother because he’s the one who told me about it lol)

Though i know there are people who doesn’t use squares as a basis, sometimes you a circle can be helpful.

ALWAYS explore different body shapes, as i said, its gives off diverse character profiles, depending which is which.

But all in all, the key to the goal is always practice!! it’s the only thing that would help you develop your skills the most when you keep doing it! so yeah i hope this tutorial helps!!
