robotspank asked: Is there a RSS feed for TPoH on the new site?
sorry, not yet! and I’m a little short of cash so I can’t afford to add it right now but maybe one day- until then I announce when each page is posted on this tumblr and over on my twitter
So Tetris need another checkup again, and while I can afford it barely, it always leaves me a bit scraping for the whole month, and while I cant take commissions right now, I have a Storenvy and I have a discount now if you wanna help me out and buy a little print, or some stickers perhaps.
Also if theres a print you´d rather want from my tumblr that I dont have in the store, you can always ask and as long as it isnt a commissioned piece (unless you commissioned it ofc) it can be fixed =)
Just use the code “Tetris” at checkout for a 15% discount! <3
Anonymous asked: Uncle Mod I am having trouble! I want to be able to draw things touching each other (like people holding hands) but it never works! Can you help? Thank you for drawing so much I hope you are not hurting because of it any more!
Drawing things touching is super hard! So don’t feel bad for struggling with it; I am still learning to do it myself, but I have found that there’s a trick in the lineart stage that you can employ which helps a lot.
Real life doesn’t have outlines, but we use lines in drawings to show where objects begin and end. Where things touch the spaces between them are reduced or eradicated, so thinner lines can help to enforce the idea that they are touching;
thicker lines emphasize distance between objects and the solidity of objects. If something is really pressing against another thing, you can completely break the line or sometimes remove it altogether! Try it out and see what works.
A simple way to think about it is that when two masses are pressed together they are making one mass overall. You use lines to separate objects, so it follows that if you want to ‘join’ two objects, you remove the line!
Remember that soft objects mesh more easily, so you can break and thin the line much more with flesh or fabric, while if you have a hard object it will maintain it’s form (and therefore outline) even when pressed against something else, and will even force a softer object to change shape!
Also thank you, polite anon, I am not hurting per say but my elbow and wrist still feel a bit funny, so I am trying to rest them and do my stretches as much as possible. Keep your hands healthy people!
We’re really close to an extra page for the next Black Bull of Norroway update! This page is almost there, and notes do roll over, so there’s definitely a reward for liking and sharing. We also dedicate this post - our first of the new year - with great esteem and affection, to modmad, who is superb, and the creator of the brilliant and ingenious webcomic The Property of Hate. Well worth the read! <3
