1. Study construction; draw toys to strengthen your understanding of construction
2. Draw many caricatures; it forces you to be observant. But draw what you see rather than drawing what Al Hirschfeld or what Milt Kahl see. Drop everything and draw from your eyes
3. Do not repeat yourself; always experiment and develop more techniques. Never settle with a formula. Don’t draw things that have been done before.
4. Do not make blind imitations; don’t imitate Milt Kahl, Ward Kimball, or Mary Blair. Understand how they approach to their work and style.
5. Animate all the time; everything has form in animation. Focus on the basic shapes first and then add the details. Make everything flow smoothly but with good timing
6. Construction and telling a story is more important than design
7. Do not go mechanical, make your drawings look organic
8. Apply everything you’ve learned into your own work
9. Avoid symmetry; no evened proportions
10. Draw everyday; make mistakes and learn from them. The point is to improve maybe not tomorrow or the day after but hopefully a year from now

You can either listen to all of his advises or just a few or none. You don’t have to think like John K, or Chuck Jones, or Walt Disney, or Milt Kahl.

Just be observant

he was starting to make sense until he told me to be a good influence on people and then I went “wut you’re crazy” in my mind

[A lot of survivors are unable to remember abuse and trauma because they’ve blocked out the memories, or they have memories that they don’t know are real or are vague and fuzzy. This is what to do if you’re uncertain about some of your experiences or memories.]

On top blogging sites like Tumblr and Livejournal, the biggest new fandom is no longer anime or evening fantasy drama, but that of “SJ,” a nickname for “social justice,” which refers to discourse on equal rights and how to, essentially, be kind and respectful to all people. /—/

The base of this false movement is “identity.” /—/ According to them, as long as someone identifies as something, it is true. No exceptions.

/—/ Anything not mainstream is “oppressed” in this wonderland. Wielding identity as a weapon, one can entirely remove themselves from personal responsibility for their part in harming others, and ultimately, any negativity at all. /—/

Ridicule the silly internet people, make fun of and dismiss their claims of oppression as not worth your time, but remember as you do that they’ve stolen from people who do need your help. Just because everyone is shouting at once doesn’t mean there aren’t still real voices to be heard.

Personally, I think they all suffer from plain old “being boring” oppression. You know, the kind where you’re dull and you watch too much TV and you feel a desperate need to be cool, different, part of a group. One could almost say that “interesting” people are oppressive, flaunting their interestingness in your face, telling stories of suffering and pain, while you know you live in a comfortable 2-bedroom apartment your mom and dad paid for, drive in a car that you’ve never had to personally get fixed, and the most harassment you ever received in your life was being told you were weird that one time you wore neon orange lipstick and spandex to your junior prom in high school.

gud post in the morning aw yis

There is nothing that Grinds My Gears more than people who have no idea what pain is yell about oppression. Fuck, -I- have no idea what pain is.
