if you feel like you can’t draw for shit but still Want to Practice, just draw over random shit
practice anatomy without having to work too hard
also 10×1
this is a huge part of art development!! so many people are afraid of being accused of “tracing” even in their unpublished practice that they never ever do it. DO IT, just don’t claim it as your own or post it if you’re uncomfortable?? Getting the hang of anatomy is so much easier when you trace at the start, and then move on to using reference images. Once you trace a hand enough times, you understand how it’s supposed to curve or bend or flex in the reference photos. I have like 4 folders full of anatomy studies that I’ve done by tracing, and it helps a ton with getting out of same body type/same face syndrome!!
im sure its incorrect but i love the idea of warframes being like alive and having some sort of sentience and they like… drift with their operators. mostly because i like the idea of warframes bonding with these weird children. it would explain why the children give the warframe a pep talk during missions sometimes

So Meg has confirmed on her patreon that what happened is true. Gavin and meg are issuing DMCA’s against news websites to get articles taken down, mostly because they contain their home address.
I’m sure they will talk about what happened in the future. But please as of right now, respect their privacy! They probably are incredibly shaken up. Looking at their twitter accounts, they just want to appear like nothing happened. Do not share news articles regarding what happened. Don’t look it up on Google either, as it’ll just add fuel to the flames. If you really are curious, send me an ask and I’ll respond privately.
But guys, please just leave them alone for right now. Don’t send them messages on twitter or anything. Just give them some space.
Couldn’t agree more. Well said.
normally i’d say stuff like this in the tags, but this is really important and needs to be more visible:
please do not ask Meg about what happened during her streams.
this goes for Ryan as well – please do not ask him if he knows anything. if he does know anything, he is purposefully keeping quiet about it. for good reason. please do not use him to pry into Meg and Gavin’s personal life.
