There Is Something Horrifically Grim To It, But Illustrations For Gaza And Palestinians Tend To Catch

there is something horrifically grim to it, but illustrations for gaza and palestinians tend to catch more mass attention that actual photos of people. this made me feel incredibly helpless for a long while, seeing both how people would rather look at a neat drawing of red black green and white than look a human in the eyes, and how online platforms would rather push a viral drawing while suppressing those begging for help at the same time.

a way to cope with this feeling has been taking advantage of it to directly guide people to helping palestinians.

if art gets better traction, then there’s an incredible amount of good that can be done by creating art that immediately links to fundraisers. creating art of the many images of those who are asking for help.

within hours of posting my drawing, there has been jumps in the thousands for bashar from gaza’s fundraiser. it’s a small effort in the grand scheme of things. it’s not a fix it. but it’s something good. please take care of each other and do what you can. i think this could help a lot of people if a lot of people did it.

here is bashar. i’ve drawn him, spoken to him, and known him now for a few months. any shares help, any art helps. draw who you see, draw what you see. thanks all

only 5k left to reach bashar’s goal !!

before you go to buy a treat or trinket today, try donating $5 to help support a palestinian in gaza! small donations add up incredibly fast, it’s entirely possible to reach the goal by the end of this week if everyone takes a moment to reshare and support.

thank u always

I am consumed by fear that my mother might die in Gaza while I am far away, unable to help her. The thought of her suffering alone in such a dangerous place breaks my heart. I feel so helpless and terrified, knowing I can't be there to protect her or bring her to safety. Every day is filled with anxiety and dread, as I hope and pray for her survival amidst the chaos.

reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.

can you pls… tell me how you get your colours like that… its so nice and desaturated but also jus fuckkk man i need it you’re so cool

hello! ur username is fun!

i just pick desaturated colors n they turn out desaturated HAHH but i also try to avoid any high contrasts.

for example, instead of using pure white, i pick grays (more yellow grays for warm, more pure grays for cool). instead of black, i lean more towards gray again or brown.

this also makes it look super fun when i do add actual harsh contrasts, like an all black shadow or a bright color. rlly fun effect!

like this ^^

just a general avoidance of the top corners of the color square, sticking to the middle!

there’s also a lot of random layer adjustments i make all the time that essentially do the same thing just faster (lower contrast, lower brightness)

here is also my old color guide from 2021 that i still kinda follow to this day. start super dull, add vibrance later

SORRY IF THIS ISNT VERY HELPFUL QWQ
