I am Mohammed Ayyad, a resident of Gaza. I live in very difficult circumstances because of the war that the Gaza Strip is experiencing. Since the outbreak of the war on October 7, we have been displaced. Then the journey of suffering and separation began, as my children were separated and evacuated from our home without cover or clothes, and from here they became ill. What increased our fatigue was the continuous upbringing due to the different areas to which we were displaced. We were displaced 9 times, and this was very costly. The last time was on August 9 from Hamad City. In addition to that, we live in the winter season in a tent that does not exceed three meters, closed with nylon. It is similar to the atmosphere of strong winds that we have never experienced before. The weather is very cold. Overall, we are living difficult days that no human being can bear. We have no work because of the war and we do not have any kind of money. This is accompanied by a crazy and terrible increase in prices. Although the water is not suitable for drinking, this is the cause of many diseases. The last suffering is that we are outside Hamad without taking our belongings or tents. Now we are searching the ground in the streets and our children and the elderly are suffering. Therefore, we use direct donations, including what they can, or sharing the links completely so that people know our tragedy and pain. Remember that a small contribution can make a difference in the lives of many children who are dealing with their health condition. Leave their details and make them happy with your generous contribution.
I'd love to donate to help you, really I would
But I can't, seriously
The only thing I can do is get your story out there.
I'm genuinely sorry
the taste of water + stuffed nose = really weird tasting water like it just tastes like water
the wheel of names best decision-making tool honestly
Remember you from Adventure Time but its an alternate universe where Arahabaki slowly starts stealing Chuuya's control over his mind and body with every time he uses it, and knowing that he's too weak to stop it he writes one final letter to Dazai before its too late.
A few months to years after, Chuuya completely looses himself, slipping into an ability induced coma as the only way to prevent arahabaki from completely destroying him.
Mori gives the letter to Dazai, as per Chuuya's request which by this point, five years since Chuuya slipped into a coma, has been perfectly preserved save for a few tears from late nights Dazai spent researching every possible way to save him, that letter being his only source of sorrowful comfort in this dire situation
Damn there are things I forgot let's see if you can count them all-
One is painfully obvious-
And no these eyes aren't shumai's from the me bragging about my improvement and giving info about the art piece post
They are random eyes and I find the points under shumai's eyes fun to draw that's it...
BUT GUESS WHAT IT TOOK 1 HOUR AND FIVE MINUTES
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
Here's the piece in question
That doesn't look like it took an hour and five minutes to me 😒
So you think you are bad at anatomy?
Well what if I told you that what it is you're bad at isn't anatomy and it's portion?
What is portion? You ask well portion can help you draw anatomy if you understand portion and if you know those then well you don't really need to learn realism lol
Portion is how big an object is compared another one..
Example:
The middle finger is typically, usually, the roughly same length as the palm and the total length of the hand is typically, usually, roughly the same length as the face not head but face
The pinky fingers are the same length as the thumb and the total length of your hand is roughly the same length as your foot and your foot is roughly the same length as your bicep? Upper arm :D
So ultimately just learn portion it will help you a lot!
What can portion also help with?
Perspective!
What? You may be thinking so let me explain!
Perspective is how far or close the subject is to the viewer in the art work in the form of a painting, illustration, or photograph
Learning portion can also help you with perspective in some ways specifically to keep things in roughly the same size and in the same plane
Learning perspective can also help you with your art game regarding of what it is you're drawing
As well as you guessed it say it with me: Portion!
Which in the case you aren't drawing just a human but a landscape too
Let's say a tree and some mountains
So this case you would use a combination of portion, scaling, and perspective
In this case scaling is how big an object is compared to real life and portion is how much space an object should take up compared to another and perspective is how far away the object is
You would eye subject bigger compared to the others
For instance
If it's a human you would make the mountains and trees appear farther which would make them smaller
But if it's a tree or mountain you would make those bigger and the human as something interacting with them so the don't look like they don't belong in the small image
Would learning anatomy help you draw?
Yes but as well as perspective portion and a little bit of scaling
Instead of learning how to draw realism learn anatomy, portion and perspective!
That will help you most in your drawing career!!
And if you don't feel like doing all of that use a reference pertaining to real life or a real person for art study instead of fan art
That should help with a lot of your drawing problems
As the people say work smart not hard
And if you need to be like me and stare at your reference for such a long time you look stupid because you forgot how to draw then do it I'm not stopping you
Also...
Start by drawing everything with a simple shape and adding more lines and shapes (and erasing!!) till you get the form or the shape of the object you are happy with then add extra details
Trust me you will thank me later :)
I'm so sorry I wish I could help you but the only thing I can do is get your story out there..
