“I have the characters, their back stories, their relationships and their goals all planned out. What the fuck is my plot tho” an autobiography by me
It’s not about plot. It’s about what you’re trying to say. What is the thesis of your story? Your plot is just your argument, your characters are your evidence. If you don’t know what you’re trying to say then you’re asking the wrong question.

I’m still doing daily comics for my specialization class, so once I’m done them at the end of next week I’ll compile them and sell them for a dollar (or pay what you want) on gumroad, for fourteen, probably, comics.

THIS IS AMAZING
I’m about five of these listed above. I’m not sure if that makes me extra weird.
This post. Forget all the posts that try to lift your self esteem or show fluffy kittens because they supposedly will make you happy. THIS POST has made me happier than any other post that was meant to make me happy ever has.
This may be my favorite post ever and I may repost it every time I see it

I just can’t get over how obvious the censored ‘the fuck’ is in the finished storyboard:D

dansfloor-blog: I won't hold not answering this against you haha- how did you become so confident with your art, I feel like I've overcharged people & sometimes just do pieces for free bc I feel guilty & people have a way of really making me feel like shit if I expect compensation, like my work isn't good enough for people to spend $ on? Obviously you're not amateur like I am, but were you always very confident artistically even when you were starting out?
I think it’s an easy trap to fall into when you’re starting out. I used to balk at the idea of charging people for my art because my art “wasn’t worth money.” It’s a ridiculous concept, really. I’m still not sure what to charge people sometimes.
When I think about it… For me, making digital art, I mean, when I’m charging you, it’s because it takes:
A) Time, which I don’t have tons of because I have lots of projects/deadlines
B) Supplies, like a laptop/tablet/pens/sketchbooks, which shockingly are NOT free
C) Experience, which for many people means art school and tuition is, also, not free
D) Skill, which you may not have or have in different ways, and in that way it’s the same as paying a plumber to fix a toilet because you don’t know how or don’t want to or want your toilet fixed extra special for someone’s birthday.
Also, when you DON’T charge for your work or undercharge drastically, it makes other people who are charging reasonable amounts and definitely deserve it look bad. “Why would I get a commission for $100 when x is doing them for $15?” I’m talking fully-rendered illustrations here, not sketches. For $15. Things that obviously take HOURS. That’s not good. That’s a bad cycle!
tl:dr; YOU’RE WORTH IT
Nobody should EVER make you feel bad about wanting to be compensated for your work.

I have to draw a four panel comic every day for the rest of the semester. I’m only going to post this one, I think, and save the rest for a gumroad package.
This one is about first time I smoked and drank hot chocolate out of a comically oversized ladel for an hour while hitting my head against a cabinet and laughing at myself.

Dear my great ” What It Is” class,
RE: Stories read out loud tonight: GOOOOOD!!!
Your homework:
Four Minute Diary every day (click here for video)
and
Seven and a Half Minutes Worth of Writing (click video above)
OK LET’S GO! STEP ONE:
First write ten nouns on ten little pieces of paper
Number a page from one to ten
Relax your whole body from top to bottom and say the alphabet to yourself or something else you have memorized and think back to early days in your life
turn over one of the pieces of paper and that’s your word.
Write down the first ten memories that come to you from that word
Read the list over
Circle one that seems vivid or has trouble in it and write it on a clean sheet of paper like it was a title to a story and then draw a big X on the page.
Then start the video.
Remember to skip a line as you go so your page is double spaced -that’s important- and if you get stuck to use the alphabet. It likes it!
Sincerely,
Professor Lynda (who looks forward to seeing you on Thursday)
PS: Even if you are not in our class these assignments are good to try just for fun.
P.P.S. Remember to monkey around

My husband and I do kind of the same job — a little bit. Not long ago we both had one of those magical days which we call a junket, where we both attended these lovely events where people come in every four minutes and they ask the same questions over and over again, you know the drill. We got home at night and we compared notes.
And I told him every single person who interviewed me, I mean every single one, and this is true of the red carpet here tonight, Elle, asked me, ‘How do you balance work and family?’ and he said the only thing that people asked him repeatedly was about the tits on the ‘Blurred Lines’ girl [Emily Ratajkowski his co-star in Gone Girl].
As for work-life balance, he said no one asked him about it that day. As a matter of fact, no one had ever asked him about it. And we do share the same family. Isn’t it time to kinda change that conversation?
Jennifer Garner on Hollywood sexism (via lawn-of-del-rey)
“The men in Hollywood event is every day—it’s called Hollywood.”
I don’t know if people outside of the Entertainment industry know how true this is, but holy shit this is on point.

Dreamwork’s Me And My Shadow (2018). Property of 20th Century Fox. Not to be duplicated.
Oh, thank goodness! I was afraid Dreamworks had completely scrapped this movie. I’m excited to know it’s still in the works!
Still really excited for this!

I feel like this is different from your normal style. It’s more cute obviously. I’m really digging it.
