Can't Afford Art School?

And this gem 👇

Can't Afford Art School?

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

I HAVE AN ANOUNCEMENT TO MAKE

So, I have an idea in place that I would like to animate one day. My friend said that I should post this on my blog to talk about. There will be a blog where theres information on my idea :D. Well, I haven't told you about my idea so listen up. (Pls don't steal although I don't know who would-)

So its like SMG4 but also not really. All these characters live somewhere outside the highest reality. It's like a slice of life, characters meeting each other. Sometimes, shit happens (no shit). And sometimes the shit ends up rocking something even deeper. So what Im trying to say is, all the episodes are random but not random at the same time. They somewhat follow a linear story path.

Hey guys, the tumblr user @hamuda10 reached out to me telling me about his brother needing surgery. I'm a minor so I can't pay him digitaly but, if you have the money, I implore you donate, even a small amount. If his goal is not reached, his brother runs the risk of getting paralyzed.

Urgent Humanitarian Appeal

Medical appeal for my brother 💔🙏🏻

Urgent Humanitarian Appeal
Donate to A chef in Palestine Help me from the war, organized by Hamouda Ibrahim
gofundme.com
My name is Muhammad yassir . I live in Gaza City 25. Old years . I hope you … Hamouda Ibrahim needs your support for A chef in Palestine He

To all kind-hearted individuals and anyone who can extend a helping hand, I appeal to you in the name of humanity and for the sake of children who are suffering from pain, cold, and hunger. My brother is enduring a severe pelvic fracture caused by the recent war on Gaza. His condition is critical, and he urgently requires treatment abroad, but we cannot afford the costs of travel or the necessary medical care.

We are a family with young children who are struggling to survive the harsh winter in dire living conditions. The children go to sleep hungry and cold, and we cannot provide them with even the simplest necessities of life.

Please, this is a desperate cry for help from a mother and father who cannot protect their children from the cold and hunger. Any assistance, no matter how small, could be a lifeline for us. We are in urgent need of treatment for my brother and a warm shelter for the children to live with dignity and away from suffering.

Do not leave us alone in this hardship. You are our hope after God.

Hey guys, Areej Kassab reached out to me. I do not have the money since I'm a minor, but you might. If you see this, I implore you donate to her family.

🌟 A Cry for Help: My Family’s Struggle to Survive in Gaza 🌟

Hello, my name is Areej Kassab. I’m a 27-year-old English teacher and writer from Gaza, and I’m reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for support. My family and I are enduring unimaginable hardships as relentless bombings devastate our home and our dreams.

🌟 A Cry For Help: My Family’s Struggle To Survive In Gaza 🌟
🌟 A Cry For Help: My Family’s Struggle To Survive In Gaza 🌟

We are a family of 15—10 adults and 5 children. Every day is a battle for survival. Food is scarce, humanitarian aid is not reaching us, and my little nieces and nephews go to bed hungry. Among them is my sister, who is deaf, and another sister who has a newborn baby. They, too, are suffering in this crisis, and I’m doing everything I can to protect and provide for them.

🌟 A Cry For Help: My Family’s Struggle To Survive In Gaza 🌟
🌟 A Cry For Help: My Family’s Struggle To Survive In Gaza 🌟

💔 A Life in Ruins The war has robbed us of everything: safety, peace, and even the hope of a future here. My family’s needs are basic yet critical—food, clean water, diapers for the babies, gas for cooking, and other essentials to make it through each day.

With rising prices and limited access to necessities, we are struggling to provide even the most basic items. My sister’s home has been destroyed, and we are working together to ensure everyone has shelter, food, and warmth.

✨ My Plea for Your Support ✨ I’m a writer, and I’ve been documenting the harsh realities faced by my community under siege. But words can only do so much. We need action, and we need help. Your kindness can save us.

🙏 How You Can Help

Donate: Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to securing the essentials we desperately need.

Share Our Story: If you can’t donate, please share this post to help us reach others who can.

Your support will help provide food for the children, clean water for my family, and basic supplies to help us survive this unimaginable crisis.

Donate to Emergency Evacuation for Areej's Family in Gaza, organized by Melissa Saul
gofundme.com
My name is Melissa and I am supporting Areej to help her family surviv… Melissa Saul needs your support for Emergency Evacuation for Aree

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing in solidarity with us. Together, we can create a lifeline for my family—a chance to live, to dream, and to hope again.

With love and gratitude, Areej Kassab ❤️
