disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I’m just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.

if a white person reblogs this and adds something stupid I’m going to bite and kick you like a wild animal

Les’ get organic, cuz bones should be insects.

Writing advice and critiques need to be AAA:

Accessible - Meaning that they need to be said in language that the recipient can understand. If they don’t know what POV stands for, then explain it. If you can’t articulate what exactly your advice/critique is in a way that others can understand, it’s not a criticism you should be giving.

Acute - (adj.) -  having or showing a perceptive understanding or insight; shrewd. Critiques/advice need to be intentional which means you need to understand why that piece of advice will make the piece better. If you suggest they edit the dialogue down to one page, will it affect pacing? Will it show off a character better? Why?

Actionable - Whatever is suggested needs to be achievable. If the critique/advice is just “write better” how is that actionable? What can someone do to make that happen?

I wish that reader feedback wouldn’t be confused with critiquing as often as it is. Readers are allowed to be vague, but writers/editors aren’t.

A reader might say, “I got confused during this part and lost interest.”

A writer/editor offering critique must say, “I got confused during this part. The dialogue lacks the urgency that you’re saying the situation calls for. I also don’t think the reader has enough info at this point. I think adding a little more exposition would bring clarity and then, after adding some panic to the characters’ dialogue, this scene is really going to meet its full potential.”

Helpful and Preventative Stretches for Writers, Artists, and Gamers 💪🎨✍🎮

If you type, write, draw, game, or generally use your hands a lot (especially if you’re prone to RSI or Carpal Tunnel!) try these stretches as both a preventative measure, and on the spot relief. Take care of yourself and your body, friends!

Start with hands up, fingers stretched out.  Stretch your thumb as far as you can over your palm. Hold and repeat 4 times.

Touch each finger to your thumb. Hold each for 30 seconds. Repeat on each hand 4 times.

Start with a fist. Open half way, hold for 2 seconds. Stretch fingers out, hold for 2 seconds. Repeat 4 times.

Start with one arm out, palm up. Pull your fingers back with your other hand. Hold for 10 seconds. Do the same with your other hand. Repeat 4 times

Start with arms up, palms out. Bend wrists down until you feel the stretch, but keep your fingers loose. Hold 10 seconds. Bend wrist upwards, until you feel it in your wrist and arm. Hold 10 seconds. Repeat 4 times.
