Oh! Looks like my oven is ready!

Wait, WHAT?! What are Soda and Scout doing in my oven?! Get out of there! You might get quills all over my Pizza!

Soda and Scout belong to the talented artist @ubtendo !!!

Hope I made them justice, they are just adorable :]

You know what, the both of them have my consent in adopting my boi, he is yours know. I have no say in it and he doesn't as well. Just, the look on his face is so precious. I wanna die of the adorableness!

And soda and scout, AHHHHHH THE BEST SIBLING DUO EVER!!! I take any chance to give Elic siblings, I am more then happy to share my boi with Soda and Scout. I bet they could teach him stuff (I am more curious on how Scout would act with Elic, especially with him not having a filter👀)

But damn this is so cute, and again, I really love your stuff and Elic looks so cute in your style, I don't deserve this 😭😭🙏💕💕💖

I really appreciate the gift, I am so about to print this, it just looks adorable! 💖💖💖💕

Heyyyyy, sorry for just popping in, but I really wanted to tell you that I adore your art a lot! It is so cute and yet so detailed at the same time! I especially like the story of your fankids, Soda and Scout! They are just too adorable! And in general, I really like your other stuff too! And the geno art from a while ago is also so cute! He is such a cute warrior! Anyway, sorry for rambling. I hope you have a nice day/night! :]

Hiii!!!

Thank youuu, thank you so much I love you art as well!! The simple style is so cuteeeee!!!💖💖💞💞💖💖 The way you draw reminds me of storybooks and I'm all for it, it'sadorable!!💖💖💞

And here is little gift for you!

Soda and Scout adopt every other fankid as their sibling (without their consent but anyways) and Elic is no exception!

(Soda is really friendly but she doesn't realise that she uses anyone she can pick up as a ragdoll, and Scout has no filter)

Again thank you and have a nice day/night as well!!✨️💖💖💖💞

AHHHHHH THEY LOOK AMAZING!!! 💕💕💕💕

I WILL CRYYYYY!!!! 😭❤️💖💕💕💕

I WILL PRINT THIS OUT AND CHERISH IT FOREVER 😭😭😭😭 💕💕💕♥️💖

Thank you so much! It looks really amazing! I really have no words, it really is just a beautiful piece of art, I am so happy. I will eat it and then eat it again.

AND ALL THE BABIS TOGETHER!!! AHHHH THEY LOOK SO CUTE!!!

Gift for @shadows-coffeebeans and @lumivall

Their fanchildren but ✨️smol✨️

Bonus:

Oh-oh they are are forming an army to overthrow the world with cuteness

Even a hero needs rest.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.
