I’m so in love with these patterns and colours

Obama at his first State of the Union Address and his last one

important things for new or young digital artists to remember:

don’t shade colors with black

don’t overuse the airbrush tool, especially when it comes to shading

layers have different settings, explore them!

if your lines are wiggly when you draw, check your brush stability settings

if you find your lineart is looking too stiff/not like your sketch, try cleaning up the sketch instead of lining it. it helps keep fluidity and the feel of your original drawing

crop your pictures, don’t leave a ton of empty space unless you add some kind of background

make sure your canvas is set to at least 300dpi

draw on a large canvas ( i draw on a 3000x3000px canvas) it will be easier to line your work and everything will look much smoother even if you shrink it down

.jpeg files save space, but this file type may compress your art and sacrifice quality. when I post art I always use .png

Each one of these women is an Olympic athlete. Let’s challenge the notion that thinness is the only indicator of health and fitness.

This needs to be reblogged again.

Women need to see images of strong female bodies, it seems like the world only wants to show us being weak or fragile
