Reblog With Your Own - Tumblr Posts

So there's this basic art strategy that I HATE because it works, it's just fueled by cruel suffering

Draw like shit. Very shitty shitty shit! So bad that you shouldn't be caught dead drawing at that level. To the point people think you're joking and then, with a tear rolling down your face, you turn to say you aren't, but you burst into pathetic sobs instead

Lower the opacity of that layer

Start new layer

Draw the same thing again but any amount less shitty than the last time

Repeat until you at least make something presentable, or until god dies of old age

Left out some steps, but the point is that if I hadn't let myself draw so horrible at first then I wouldn't have been able to make this... and the only reason that this isn't better is because I pussied out. But at least I got to where I could be happy with it

I'm not the first person to come up with this but I feel like I'm the only one willing to show just how BAAAD a first attempt gets to be

P.S. Now you have to reblog with you're own attempt. Doesn't matter if you aren't an artist. Krita and ms paint are free. You will learn. You no longer have a choice in the matter

tropes i will never get tired of

fake dating

omniscient narrator who immediately contradicts the characters (“This is fine,” she said. It was, in no way, shape, or form, fine.)

deadpan jokes while swordfighting

the “I FUCKING LOVE MY WIFE” guy

oblivious pining that slowly escalates until A is going on page rants about how pretty B’s eyes are but still doesn’t seem to recognize they’re in love

Strong Leader Type having to physically fall down in order for the other characters to see how exhausted they are

funny villains who talk and make jokes with their heroes while they’re fighting them

the villains presented as the protagonists

*increasingly pulls out bigger and bigger weapons from more unlikely places*

“I said all of your weapons” *pulls out more*

“ALL OF THEM” *pulls out one last tiny dagger*

traumatized character using humor to cover up ptsd

characters going out for a break at a restaurant/movie/whatever and something bad happening

using the “*gasp* what’s that over there???” trick to avert the enemy’s attention and it working

a villain’s weakness being something totally random and nonsensical

a hero duo arguing over who’s the sidekick while fighting a villain

“don’t be silly, we don’t need [important thing]”  “you lost it, didn’t you?”  “yeah”

“what’s the one thing I told you not to do tonight?”  “raise the dead”   “and what did you do?”  “raised the dead”

“I think that went pretty well” *explosion in the distance*

peonies, hydrangeas, and dahlias ✨
