change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you're going to get blocked bcs people think you're a bot

this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)

you can set your likes and follows to private

checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing

follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric

drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally

DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won't be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won't get in trouble!!

tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7

On one cold evening in December, 2007, I was driving home from a long day of retail work. A fairly silent drive, as I regularly blast my favorite music whenever I hop in the car, on a good day. 

Coloring Scott Pilgrim was a unique challenge because it was originally published in black and white and already had a legion of fans with often profound relationships to the work before I ever had a chance to color a single page. It was very important to me to respect that. I knew there would be many fans who’d say that the story didn’t need color. Hopefully my work has—if not convinced them otherwise—at least shown them that color, while not absolutely essential, adds depth, mood, and focus to the storytelling and can enhance their enjoyment of it.

With that said, let’s walk through my process in coloring a single page of this book. 

never too old to learn how to write. or sculpt. or paint. or design.

-You don’t get better at drawing by avoiding drawing until you are better at drawing.

- You don’t have to make a new masterpiece every day it’s okay if all you drew is a doodle of a bug. You are now +1 bug doodle better at doodling bugs. 

- Also it’s okay if the thing you drew didn’t turn out very good. Everything you draw makes you one step closer to being able to draw good. You are still +1 step better at drawing whatever you drew no take backsies.

- You are the only person who knows if your art didn’t turn out as good as you wanted it to. You are the only person who can see the things in your art that weren’t what you imagined in your head. No one else will know unless you tell them.

- Comparing yourself to other artists just isn’t fair. You get to see all of your art, the best stuff and the worst stuff. You usually only get to see the best stuff other artists make. You don’t get to see that half drawn badly propotioned face they drew at 2 am and immediately scrapped. So don’t compare your badly drawn 2 am face to their best work.
