My Name Is Max And I Hate Aph England And Also Hetalia

Tanto tempo fa

I love to draw babies so much (*´∀`)~♥

Can you I ask what the guys look for in a s/o and also please add what they need in a relationship because sometimes what we want is different from what we need. ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve done what they look for here, so without further ado…

What the 2ps need in a S/O

2p America: Someone who can keep him out of danger when adrenaline tells him otherwise.

2p England: Someone who isn’t a perfectionist, because he puts enough pressure on himself as is.

2p China: Someone who will support and encourage him with dropping his vices, rather than someone who currently shares them.

2p France: Someone who will gently get him out of his comfort zone, and who can easily empathise with others.

2p Russia: Someone with a “work hard, play harder” mentality.

2p Canada: Someone who can get him out of his unhealthy habit of socially isolating himself.

2p North Italy: Someone who will calmly tell him when he’s overreacting and when his temper is boiling over something trivial.

2p Germany: Someone who can take responsibility when social situations get out of hand, even if they’re having fun themselves.

2p Japan: Someone who will call him out when he’s being unnecessarily rude.

2p South Italy: Someone who isn’t materialistic and can give him a reality check when needed.

2p Prussia: Someone patient enough to help him through his struggles with mental illness.

2p Austria: Someone who will read into/entertain his interests even if they aren’t shared.

I've always loved drawing people and especially portraits. Your art is so inspiring! Do you have any advice on drawing portraits with accurate proportion? What aspects are the most important in portraits, do you think? And what are good exercises? I'm sorry for bombarding you with so many questions! :3

Thank you! There’s one thing about drawing portraits that I don’t think I’ve ever touched on, and it’s the technique of constraining features.  Basically, it becomes easier and more intuitive to rotate the face in 3D space once your mind grasps exactly where the features are located and, furthermore, where they can’t be located.  

I use a weird double trapezoid shape that I’ve depicted below in red to keep track of facial feature placement every single time I draw a face.  It follows the top of the eyebrows, touches the corner of the eye, traces down to the corner of the lips, and finally ends at the bottom of the lips.  

The shape of the constraint will change depending on the person’s features, and it works for every angle of the head.  For me it really internalized where each part of the face was, as well as where it started and ended. It kinda helps moderate your drawings; i.e., you’ll stop drawing features that are wildly misplaced or off-sized.  I don’t literally draw this shape out every time I draw a face, but I see it in my mind’s eye 100% of the time.

If you’re still learning proportions, a good exercise is to grab pictures of people and trace this shape over them (either digitally or with a marker or something) to get an idea of what realistic constraints looks like.  Then go back to studying faces, and constantly check your drawing by tracing along the eyebrows and down to the bottom of the lips to make sure that things aren’t off (e.g., the constraint isn’t terribly asymmetric).  It takes a while to get used to, but it might help you get a good feel for portraiture.  

There’s one other unrelated thing I like to do with faces, and if you’ve seen a lot of my pics you’ve already picked up on it.  If you kinda add some shading to the area on the cheek just below the eye and down to the nose, I think it adds a decent amount of depth to a face.  Don’t go overboard of course but there’s another little tip that could be of use.

Can someone just………………. explain French to me?

she frustrates him

Don’t armchair diagnose mass shooters and other killers. The misconception that all violent people must be mentally ill (and the following conclusion that all mentally ill people must be dangerous) has horrible real life consequences for visibly mentally ill people.

Schizophrenic people are 14 times more likely to be a victim of a violent crime than committing one because people assume that we’re homicidal and dangerous and may react very negatively to visibly mentally ill behavior, partly due to all the media portrayals of schizophrenics as violent killers.

50% of people killed by police are disabled or mentally ill (and the victims are disproportionately black or other people of color) because the unusual behavior of visibly disabled and visibly mentally ill people is read as inherently threathening and dangerous.

Please consider the real life consequences of reinforcing the association between mental illness and violence - people are dying because y'all want to blame all evil in the world on severe mental illness so that you can clearly separate yourself from it. You’re harming an already extremely vulnerable and marginalized group of people and it’s time to stop!
