A Quick Grass Tutorial

a quick grass tutorial

I’ve never really wrote a tutorial before so apologies if this is bad

1. okay first thing I do is pick three colors, a mid, dark, and light. I like to check the colors in greyscale to make sure there’s enough contrast between each one.

I then plop down a blob of whatever my middle tone color is.

2. next, I take my dark color and just sort of randomly place it around. I try to make sure there’s a good amount of both the mid and dark tones spread throughout. I personally like to keep it kinda messy. I also have pen pressure on for both brush size and opacity, so I can have some blending action going on.

3. for the next step I do the exact same thing as before, except with the light color.

4. aight this is where we start adding details. see how you just have a bunch of colors and edges where two colors meet? use the eyedropper and go to an area where two colors meet, eyedrop a color, and then use that color to draw in your grass blades. I do this at every point where colors meet. should note I personally like to use a square brush, but you can really just use anything.

5. you can technically stop at the last step if you’re going for a more simple look, but to add more details I go to the “empty” areas of solid color and just draw in random strokes using a color nearby. it’s just a way to fill up the empty space.

6. basically more of the same idea of eyedropping and drawing. for more variety so things look interesting, I like to add random plant shapes.

7. and so the grass doesn’t look too plain, I add random dots of color and pretend it’s flowers and stuff.

and there you have it, this is how I approach drawing grass.

One thing that really bothers me with mbti on tumblr (and the Internet in general) is that intj's are so common even though they're statically less common. It makes me wish I weren't intj (and I'm open for anyone to prove that I'm not intj) just to fit the statistics. The sensor bias is evident throughout this site and honestly I'd very much rather be a sensor than be considered an intuitive masquerading as someone special and rare.

I’m not sure if the bias is called intuitive bias or sensor bias, but I hope you understand that I’m talking about the discrimination intuitive a have over sensors (sorry English isn’t my first language)

Response: I personally think there is a major intuitive bias on Tumblr. There is mass over typing of INTJ, INFJ, and INFP of people and characters. One major reason is free online tests are garbage and type people these three often. I will never forget my friend who turned out to be an ESTJ got typed as an INFJ. 

A huge bit comes from the fact that tumblr is full of teenagers just trying to find themselves. They often try to make themselves fit into a concept of themselves rather than letting themselves be. Many mistype themselves and characters because of this way of thinking. 

However, intuitive and sensing are both great. We need them both. They are ways of perceiving the world and nothing more. Neither makes you smarter or more special than another. INTJ is rare and it is lonely, almost by design. I mean look at Batman, the most INTJ character ever. 

I would separate yourself from that nonsense. It is why I hate sites like personality cafe. They are filled with youths who have barely experienced the world, but are happy to tell you that you are wrong and know nothing. I mean if you look at disney discussion on it every villain is an INTJ because they have plans….it is stressful to look at. 

I would focus on your own self discovery. Realize that like everywhere else on the internet, there is mass misinformation about MBTI on Tumblr. It is why I started my blog in the first place.

I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong. Tomorrow, I’ll be at the table When company comes. Nobody’ll dare Say to me, ‘Eat in the kitchen,’ Then. Besides, They’ll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed— I, too, am America.

Langston Hughes, I, Too

“You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself. Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.”

— Alan Watts
