Hello Tumblr 👋

Today, Tumblr’s owner, Verizon Media, announced that Automattic plans to acquire Tumblr. Automattic is the technology company behind products such as WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Jetpack, and Simplenote—products that help connect creators, businesses, and publishers to communities around the world. 

We couldn’t be more excited to be joining a team that has a similar mission. Many of you know WordPress.com, Automattic’s flagship product. WordPress.com and Tumblr were both early pioneers among blogging platforms.

Automattic shares our vision to build passionate communities around shared interests and to democratize publishing so that anyone with a story can tell it, especially when they come from under-heard voices and marginalized communities.

We look forward to continuing to create products that empower your self-expression and sense of community and that build a better, more inclusive internet. 

We’re excited for our future together!

my advice: have fun and play–play is learning | always be watching real life to see how things move | also be watching cool animations to learn from them | it’s hard but so worth it when things turn out well, good luck!

guys you will not believe what i just did

ideas of exercises to help with your practical art skills, as well as things to keep in mind while making art and new ways to find inspiration:

draw every day

recreate a drawing you did before, but better

draw something using only simple geometric shapes

do studies of famous artworks

listen to artists explain their work, it’s super interesting

take life drawing classes (or use online photo resources)

find an artwork you love, and work out why

draw caricatures of friends

set a 1 minute timer and draw an object as quickly as possible

draw something you can’t see, eg. music, emotion

research artists you admire and find out how they work

think about composition: what stands out, what recedes etc.

find a famous artwork you hate and work out why

sit outside and draw the landscape

copy a photo exactly

draw a scene from a film

draw the contours of an object not the outline

visit an art exhibition near you

draw your bedroom

look up tutorials online - there’s so many useful ones!

practise creating contrast between light and dark in pictures

research colour theory

do a self portrait

learn about art history! Research different movements etc.

try a new medium

consider the feeling you want to portray with the artwork

draw without looking at the page

draw a character from a book you’ve read

draw something you don’t usually draw

look at your pictures in the mirror to help you see problems better

follow artists and galleries on instagram for inspo

draw an ugly object in a beautiful way

try using only bold, bright colours

plan your colour palette before starting an artwork, and stick to it!

if you usually work in 2D, make something in 3D

always remember to add shadows

draw an object which is important to you

use 5 lines to depict an object, make every line count

draw using negative space

always draw from life when possible!

think carefully about which direction the light is coming from

Ngl, this has this has great potential for fanfics or comics is so in character with John 🔛🔝

Boring John Ward Headcanons

So like i watched the wendigoon video and cant play the game til it comes out on xbox and only retained half the info so yeah

-I just think John is like..a nice dude idk. A real door holder. Lets pretend he didn't experience The Horrors for these ones cause I like my guys to experience joy

-NOT a horror movie guy, probably thinks they're wrong or something. Not necessarily because of his religion but because Why Do You Want To Watch Murder. Can be convinced to watch them. Also they terrify him so there's that.

-Most things scare him. Lil wet cat. Lil wet scaredy cat. Clowns yes but also like I said, most horror movie. Jumpscares. People surprising him.

-He likes nice surprises though

-I know. I KNOW I just like said he was kinda jumpy and this is SUCH a stereotype but lets talk fashion. Sweaters, sweater vests, button ups. Mostly black button ups, sweater vests tend to be dark blue.

-Sweaters that he wears are not for that soft boy aesthetic nor are thick and cozy. They come in all sorts of colors most notably cream, dark blue, navy, occasionally black, forest green, and dark red. black usually comes with turtle necks on those days.

-Bisexual, canon I know. I don't think he really has a preference but I think he doesn't really have a type. Don't be cruel, maybe. People are constantly surprised with who he's with.

-Never wears shorts, shoes are always formal, always has a gold cross necklace, very semi formal-someday I'll do some drawings.

-His hair has literally never changed ever.

-I don't think he swears a lot. He doesn't say 'heck' or anything fun. He just doesn't swear. On occasion yes, but he's polite about it. "Fuck," he says, distressed, "Sorry for the language, but I just don't know what to do right now." You get it

-when he gets nervous, flustered, embarrassed etc he doesn't use contractions. He's all "should not" "would not" "do not" "will not" no won'ts, don'ts, or can'ts here.

Yeah these are probably out of character but i'm just making him up at this point.
