just saw an x-ray of a horse skull. canāt say iām too happy with it
what the FUCK is this
Fun fact: horses' teeth take up more space in their skulls than their brains!
Horses: eating is more important than thinking
Anyone whose ever interacted with a horse: sounds about right

if you missed the comic you can read it here!
It occurred to me that Sans and Undyne have opposite inactive eyes (assuming that Sans can only glow one eye and isn't just doing it to look cool or smth) and now it's Papyrus' turn to be projected on
There was a point when I was a kid where my best friend at the time couldn't really hear out of their left ear, and I had a family member who couldn't really hear out of their right ear. No matter how hard I tried to memorize it I always ended up mixing up who could hear on which side and had to constantly switch up where I was. Then I decided that this happened to Papyrus also. More at 11
This is great especially for women in the workplace who have learned kinda self-demeaning patterns of behavior in order to not be seen as a bitch. I started communicating this way in my VERY male dominated field and people definitely started taking me at least slightly more seriously. If that makes sense
Even in my heavily female-dominated industry (and office), using this kind of phrasing sees me taken more seriously by management, HR, and clients. I also find that for things like requesting PTO or schedule flexibility, Iām more likely to get uncomplicated agreement from the company if I phrase it as a statement of intention rather than a request for permission. This also goes for asking for accommodations; āX is not going to work, I need Y and Zā is a lot more effective than āI would like Y and Z, if itās not too much trouble.ā

THE AFTERSHOW - Chapter 1 (part 1/?)
This is the beginning of my attempt of adapting the fanfiction "The Aftershow" (<- mind the rating and tags!!!) by @munchiemooz of our shared AU into a comic! :D
[next]
i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:
1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online
2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links
3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)
4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)
In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)
you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
if the "Complaint" links are not visible for you:
Option 1: try the DuckDuckGo search engine instead (bonus: dedicated to privacy! doesn't track your data!)
Option 2: go directly to LumenDatabase.org (the website that collects the complaints--and therefore the removed links) and search for the title you want. look for results titled "DMCA (Copyright) Complaint to Google" featuring the media you're looking for. Proceed to Step 3 (above).
personally, i'm a huge fan of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH. they keep their links up to date and they also rank them, basically. they also have all kinds of little pages explaining how to safely pirate shit.
^^^^what they said. I'm surprised people are still reblogging this post now that google's flushed itself down the toilet. so here is your
2026 UPDATE:
just go to r/FreeMediaHeckYeah and r/Piracy. it's easier, more reliable, and will take care of all your piracy needs!
the real reason baby didn't get paired up by anybody in canon is because he's the only top in the saja boys
true BONERS will reblog ššš

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that youāre supposed to do warm up sketches every time youāre about to work on serious art when youāre fuckin twenty-five
someone: oh yeah, do this exercise during your warm ups! itāll help
me: my what
Whatās up I have an actual college degree in art and I was never ONCE taught to do warm ups.
when i was in undergrad, it was kind of mentioned in and offhand way that we should do warmups, but we were never shown what that meant. And, yāknow, we were young so it didnāt matter so much.Ā
Being older now and having an art job itāsā¦kind of essential.Ā
So: a quick primer for those of you who are likeĀ āok but how do i actually go about doing this warmup thing.āĀ
1) you may be tempted to doĀ āa warmup drawingā which is just a drawing that will take longer than it needed to and probably be frustrating and kind of bad because you didnāt warm up first. Itās tempting but always a trick your brain is playing on you! Do not trust!Ā
2) warmups will vary based on what feels good to you/what task youāre about to do/what motor skills you want to practice. That being said, some good standbys:
a) circles. Just a whole page of circles on whatever drawing surface youāre going to be using, whether thatās your tablet or your sketchbook or a drawing pad on an easel. For these circles you should make sure that youāre drawing from your shoulder and not your wrist. In fact, you want to be drawing from your shoulder rather than your wrist most of the time! forever! your wrist is delicate please preserve it!Ā
In order to ensure that youāre drawing from your shoulder, when youāre holding your pencil or whatever drawing tool youāre using, the only part of your hand that should be touching the drawing surface is part of the last two fingersāsome people prefer the finger tips, but I tend to favor the first knuckles. Either way, the fingers should really be ghosting over the surface, providing guidance rather than support.Ā
I usually start with big circles and then go to smaller circles and lines of ellipses, and then try to fit circles and ellipses inside other shapes iāve already drawn as a precision exercise, but i donāt do that unless iām feeling loose
b) spirals! i donāt always do spirals, but if iām stiff and the circles just arenāt cutting it, spirals are a good fall back. I start from the center and work outward, going both clockwise and counterclockwise until i feel comfortable with the whole range of motion. Some people really care about getting perfect spirals but for me itās all about making sure iām comfortable with how iām moving so who really even cares about how the spirals look. Not me!Ā
c) lines! straight lines! in parallel! i do a mix of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal. These are often more from the elbow than the shoulder, especially if Iām working on a smaller surface. For this exercise, I recommend holding the drawing tool perpendicular with the surface
d) connect the dots. This is a precision and accuracy exercise and takes two forms. The first is to draw two dots and then draw a straight line between them. The second is to draw three dots and draw the curve that connects them. This sounds a lot simpler than it is in practice. Take time to ghost over the line you plan to draw before actually committing to your line. (I donāt always remember where I picked up my warm up exercises, but Iām pretty sure I got this one from Scott Robertson. His how to draw and how to render books are very technical but also accessible and worth checking out)
e) cubes, spheres, cones, and cylinders. These help get your brain into a more volumetric space. I draw multiples of each, rotating the forms around, and Iāll often take the time to do some rough shading on at least a few of them
f) spidermans! This one is really good if youāre going to be storyboarding or working on dynamic poses. Just fill a page full of spidermans doing all sorts of acrobatics.Ā
g) beans. I donāt do beans too much anymore, but I know a lot of people like it so Iām mentioning it here. Fill an area with different size bean shapes without lifting your pencil off the paper.Ā
h) short medium and long line repetition. draw a short, medium, and long line on your page, and then draw directly on top of them 8 to 12 times, doing your best to exactly trace what youāve already drawing. Repeat with a wavy line. Iām bad at this one, which means I probably need to do it more.Ā
And there are lots more options too! Hit up youtube to see what other people recommend, put together your own go-to list, mix it up when youāre getting bored, etc.Ā
This is a long list, I know, but I usually donāt take more than 10 to 15 minutes to warm up, and I can warm up one handed while Iām drinking coffee, so, multitasking hurrah.Ā
Sometimes Iāll advance to a precision warmup and find that I havenāt loosened up enough yet; itās totally ok to go back to an earlier exercise! Also, all of this has the added benefit of kind of ritualistically getting you into the drawing mode so even if Iām not feeling it before I start, by the time Iāve gotten to the end Iām usually Ready For Drawinā. Brain hacks.Ā
so, yeah! thatās a lot of words, but! Warmups are important! Save your joints, take less advil, do better drawings!Ā
How on earth are you supposed to draw from a sholder? might as well tell me to draw from the foot. It makes no sense

DRAW STRONGER
Kriota Willberg
ISBN-10 ā : āĀ 1941250238
ISBN-13 ā : āĀ 978-1941250235
I have given away so many copies of this book to friends and people doing work for me it is unreal.
It is a comprehensive book of ādo this to reduce the chance of painā and āare you in pain? do this to ease it, then do this to help reduce the chance of pain in the future.ā
It is conversational and drawn like a graphic novel and very easy to follow.
I have. Feelings. Whenever I see a drawing program that does not involve some level of labor management.
It (should be) a mission critical duty of every single business to constantly review physical and metal stressors and reduce them as often and as consistently as possible.
Hello, someone who went to a Fancy Art School here. Please, please, PLEASE. Do your warmups, whatever form they take. And take a break every hour you draw. 15-20 minutes. Get up. Stretch. Hydrate. Assess the state your body is in. If you are hurting, itās time to stop. You see, my teachers taught me about warmups, and drawing from the shoulder, and all that good shit. They didnāt teach me about when to stop. Because the truth is, no art industry will give you the time to stop, and they were training us to be industry professionals. You have to make the time. Drawing for 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 hours a day, every day, without breaks? Without resting? Without days you donāt draw at all? It will destroy your body. My dominant shoulder has permanent muscle and tendon damage. The bone at the very joint has started to wear away. I can still draw on my good days, but never consistently or frequently enough to ever have a career in these industries again. This is a preventable disaster. I donāt want anyone else to have to go through this. My teachers werenāt careless or negligent. No one ever taught them, too. There were other circumstances that made it get so bad for me so fast (my bones appear to have been made of chalk?), but this was not an uncommon injury. I know, itās excruciating to stop and assess when youāre in the flow. I know itās incredibly boring to warm up and do stretches. But I want you to be able to feel the joy of making art for as long as possible. Listen to your local cat. And take a break for a while.
