what i've been up to the past 20 minutes
how do you go on to drawing character interactions without them looking stiff or awkward?? whenever u draw characters like hugging and stuff they always feel so warm and natural n like they have weight!
FIRST THINGS FIRST: if you want characters to feel like they have weight, they gotta have balance.
The second thing is to use references!! Use a mirror or photos when you can, but I often use duckduckgo and just google stock images. I don't use pinterest, but I suppose that works. I find it way more helpful to look at lots of images of the same pose at all different angles than to try to reference one specific image.
Not that I need to say this on the fandom website, but my #1 advice to anyone who dreams of one day writing something - novel, screenplay, whatever - is to WRITE FANFIC.
Literally it’s a great way to teach yourself how to write in a low stakes way. Play with other people’s characters! Experiment with your writing style! It will benefit you when you start writing your own original story.

In the realm of love, where hearts collide, A tale of passion, where emotions reside, I'll paint a poem, with words so absurd, "I love you," ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
“why bother writing bisexual characters if they just end up in a m/f relationship”

When I say that my favourite atla ship is Zutara people assume that I dislike Aang. But that couldn't more further than truth. I love all the kids in team avatar.
I really like Aang, I just don't find his relationship with Katara romantically interesting and therefore I don't ship them.
So if you like both zutara and Aang please like or reblog this post. I want to see how many of us share this mentality.
not to be insensitive but some of the salem witch trials were so funny bitches like “i saw her at the devils sacrament!!!” girl... what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament 👀
