See below for a chart on what household cleaners to NEVER EVER MIX EVER OR YOU CAN (AND WILL PROBABLY) DIE OR OTHERWISE BECOME EXTREMELY FUCKED UP AND NOT IN A FUN WAY BUT IN THE HOSPITAL AND/OR GRAVEYARD WAY:

The above is not a complete list, but these are extremely common in most households and therefore are the most likely chemical fuck-ups to occur. 

DO NOT MIX HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS. 

DO NOT MIX CLEANING AGENTS.

DO NOT MIX CERTAIN ASTRINGENTS. (HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS OFTEN IN FIRST AID KITS OR WOUND SPRAYS AND CAN CAUSE A REACTION IN SMALL AMOUNTS IF MIXED WITH THINGS IT SHOULD NOT BE MIXED WITH EVEN ACCIDENTALLY ON A SURFACE ETC.) 

DO NOT MIX ANY CHEMICALS THAT YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE ARE SAFE TO MIX. (SPOILER: MOST THINGS ARE NOT REALLY SAFE TO MIX AND SOMETIMES COMBINING SAFE ONES ACTUALLY MAKES THEM LESS EFFECTIVE ANYWAY, SO JUST DON’T COMBINE THIS KIND OF SHIT!) 

YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT A CHEMIST. PLEASE DO NOT TURN YOUR KITCHEN/BATHROOM/HOME INTO A LAB ACCIDENT. 

IF YOU ARE A CHEMIST, YOU SHOULD STILL NOT FUCK AROUND. MANY OF YOU DO NOT RELIABLY USE YOUR SAFETY GOGGLES OR THE CORRECT TYPE OF SAFETY GOGGLES. (IF YOU’RE THE TYPE OF CHEMIST WHO DOESN’T ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IN YOUR WORK AREA, I WILL NOT TRUST YOU WITH BLEACH. COMPLACENCY KILLS.) 

CONCLUSION: STOP MIXING CHEMICALS! 

YOU ARE NOT PROFESSOR X, AND YOU WILL NOT END UP CREATING THE POWERPUFF GIRLS. 

YOU WILL ONLY CREATE A NEW INVOICE FOR YOUR LOCAL FUNERAL HOME. 

I AM YELLING AT YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND WANT YOU TO BE SAFE.

TO ANY DUMBASS TEENAGERS OUT THERE, I WANT YOU TO SURVIVE LONG ENOUGH TO BECOME DUMBASS ADULTS. 

thank you a lot anon!! (  /)w(\) here, i made a few notes about the steps i follow while drawing feet:

^ that’s assuming you’re not drawing from a low perspective, as if the camera was on the floor or something like that!

someone asked me how to paint leaves being backlit by the sun so here’s a pretty simple process for that.

while i’m painting this i’m looking at a reference, of course, and thinking about the physical properties of light and how they interact with things, specifically leaves:

leaves are translucent; some light passes through and some is bounced off. it’s technically really complicated but basically, when light bounces off of them into your eye, they look… idk, normal? maybe a little glossy. but when light passes directly through them and into your eye, they’re super bright and saturated. here’s what it looks like with a guitar pick.

pretty dull. almost white.

woa. 

i don’t play guitar

anyway, i started with the leaves furthest away. they’re getting hit directly by the sun, and let’s say they’re slightly above us, so light is shining through and they’re bright as hell. then as i add more and more layers of leaves on top, working toward myself, they’re getting hit with less and less light. the leaves in front of them are blocking it all so they get darker. then you have the leaves closest to us which are actually a little lighter than the layer underneath. they’re being hit with some ambient light (the light that’s reflected off of other things in the environment). not enough to be really bright and colorful, so they’re pretty grey, too.

as for the shapes, the whole time i’m really just playing around and seeing if what i come up with looks okay. there’s a balancing act going on regarding how much of the lighter leaves in the back are showing and how/where i place the darker leaves in front to make it look as interesting as possible. it’s a lot of trial and error but you get a sense for it the more you do it. that should also be considered with the entire picture in mind, as opposed to what i have here in this little grey void.

Do not use the website called Sci-Hub!

It lets people access scientific articles for free. This is dangerous. It helps the free flow of knowledge and reduces the competitive edge of all the people who worked really hard to have been born into a wealth.

Like, it’s literally a website where you can type in the DOI of an article and read it, without ever having to pay the publisher who exploited the author.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (X)

Catcher in the Rye

Fahrenheit 451

The Great Gatsby

To Kill a Mockingbird (X)

You know what else I had to read?

1984. Which has since been placed on the banned books list.

The Outsiders is also on the list now, which I was forced to read in middle school.

now most people don’t know who he is, but know his work. He is basically the animator who perfected the cartoon movements in animation.

This guy is my new hero. I LOVE learning about native food plants that just grow everywhere without human help.

there are a bunch of free monitor tests, but here’s an easy one you can use. the passmark and eizo tests are also pretty good, though passmark doesn’t work in your browser. be warned that some tests may cause eye strain.

First one that didn’t also let me put my streak of white hair in, and actually that’s got me feeling pretty good about things today. ; u ;

Every website uses a language called JavaScript; long story short it’s a website language that allows developers to do the crazy shit you see on websites. Now the easiest thing to do is to disable JavaScript to stop them from knowing you have an adblocker:

Oh no! I’m blocked from viewing the website. It would be a terrible shame if I were able to right click and select the “inspect” feature

Click the three dots in the top right and open the “Settings” Menu

And then scrolled down to “Debugger” and checked the “Disable Javascript Option”

And then just refreshed the page
