Please help save our dog, Booker

This is Booker. He’s been a part of our family since 2017, when we rescued him as a 10 month old. He’s struggled with severe anxiety his whole life, but he's developed strong bonds with all of us. Especially with me, he's an absolute Mama's Boy. He’s the sweetest, happiest, most loving dog you could imagine. He adores giving hugs, snuggling with his humans, and going everywhere with his brother, Copper.

A few weeks ago, July 28, he was given a clean bill of health at his yearly vet checkup. Just three weeks later, August 17, he suddenly became very ill. After multiple emergency visits, tests, and an ultrasound, the vets found a severe gallbladder blockage. His gallbladder is too damaged to save and must be removed immediately.

Without this surgery, his gallbladder will rupture releasing toxins into his body and can cause internal bleeding, infection, sepsis, and death. With surgery, his prognosis is excellent, and he can continue to live a full, happy life. He's stable on medication for the moment, but every day we wait the more likely it is high gallbladder will rupture.

We’ve already spent $2,086 on diagnostics and medication. The surgery is estimated at $15,434, though we’ve set our fundraiser goal slightly higher to account for platform fees and post-surgery care. We cannot cover this on our own.

If you’re able to donate, it would mean the world to us. If you can’t, even reblogging this post helps more than we can say.

A mouth-watering fuck-ton of hand angle references.

This thing has been out of print for like, 26 years and some of us want to make chubby classic pikachu so uh... I figure it's okay to share bc it's kinda hard to get your hands on the remaining physical copies.

Bonus points: Aelith made some embroidery/applique files for it too

This is FREE, please don't pay for the pattern.

Only the EMBROIDERY is paid.

Do you have any tips that helped you get more comfortable drawing people? Im way more comfortable with backgrounds, but i want to like the people i put in them

Aww well thanks!

1. Do tiny figures. I find that the smaller you get the easier it is to visualize forms, then when you find a pose you like make it bigger and refine it.

2. Quick long lines over short feathery ones! It builds form better and helps you visualize flow!

3. There's a suspicious amount of trapezoids in the human figure

4. Never underestimate the power of an overlapping line

The biggest thing is practice, but you gotta practice what you WANT out of the figure, not just drawing any old person. You find what you like and you work on it until it a. Looks the way you want it, and b. Becomes near second nature.

But even sometimes thats tricky (especially when you can't see the progress you're making) so you need to just accept that sometimes it'll look great sometimes and that it'll look like hot soggy garbage at other times. Just appreciate the fact that you're learning and keep on jogging.

here is a master list of great art tools that can make your workflow easier! 👇 (consistently updating)
