A master post of Thomas Romain’s art tutorials.

There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. 

Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!

gilbert has totally used his drill-sergeant voice on german children who are jaywalking.

gilbert is an actual german grandmother tbh. albeit, possibly a german grandmother who also jaywalks at 4am when there are no cars 

Okay….. I am tired of seeing one-dimensional characterizations of Belarus and I know that happens with all characters to some extent, but it is particularly bad with her. So here are some cool facts I found about Belarus that make her a more round character:

-she is really into the occult and is a great fortune teller

-she can see ghosts but Latvia says she’s so intimidating even ghosts would avoid her

-she may or may not speak Polish

-she zones out all the time. Her mind will just go blank and she’ll stare at something (like her bow) for hours on end. One time she watched white noise on tv for three hours. Occasionally she’ll have a jolt realization that the day has ended and night came without her noticing

-she is very strong, both physically and of heart and will, though the latter only shines through in negative ways

-she’s “extremely vulgar” in the calmest, most casual tone of voice

-she’s been into rock music lately

-she’s a good acrobat. Her gymnasium is her pride

-America took her in after the Soviet Union collapsed and she thought only bad things came from associating with Russia

-Russia values her opinion and /they can get along peacefully/. Belarus is pretty attached to Ukraine. Ukraine worries about her

-she has an EXTREMELY negative view of humans

-she thinks philosophically about death, specifically her own, a lot. Since she knows she will die eventually, she tries to appreciate the moment

-she loves her traditional clothing

-she is perpetually annoyed by American ghosts, who apparently don’t even bother hiding, like a normal ghost would

-she prank calls Lithuania. And you know that thing where someone calls you and doesn’t say anything, they just breathe into the phone? She does that to Poland

-when she lived with America she completely sapped that guy of all his endless energy; she made him so tired he started trying to get rid of her

Yeah I love drawing heads, fight me. *run*

I intended to draw their faces with personal ideas(mostly inspired by cannon), and I HOPE I could keep them in mind. They’re originally drew on my notebook before (bad student, again), and colored later on the computer. Maybe I’ll draw other characters later. 

Some notes: Ivan LOOKS LIKE a man from rural areas, I describe him as simple rather than charming. He resembles Ukraine. Bela is literally beautiful, and has a firm look. Liet doesn’t impress others much but he looks pleasing to the eye because of the easy-going presence. Feliks’s beauty is unique, having blurring cat eyes and soft frame. Edward, standard handsome young man, having potential of being more attractive when he grows older. Ravis has upturned big eyes, little round nose, and you don’t know what’s actually going in his mind. He’s more relate to Liet (the two and the only actual Baltic) so I pick a darker hair color…

(bonus: Well I think of Ivan whenever I see Plushenko, and I actually refer to him a little. facepalm. )

Do you ever read a really weird fanfiction and you feel like you just need to

she frustrates him
