MAGICAL PHOTOSHOP FILTER THAT MAKES PERSPECTIVE GRIDS FOR YOU
Okay, maybe people know about this for awhile already, but I just discovered it last night when I was copy pasting something and instead of pressing Ctrl+V, I hit Ctrl+Alt+V.
Best things tend to happen by accident.
(Except maybe pregnancies, but even that’s arguable)

The cold of your fridge is actually ruining a lot of your (expensive, local, bought at the farmer’s market) produce. An artist’s project finds ways to use the way fruits and vegetables spoil to keep them fresh, the old-fashioned way.
(Sorry this is so long, tumblr won’t let me un-indent all the things without messing the hyperlinks up BLUH. So press J to skip.)
I just went back through over 900 liked posts and dug out all the art tutorials so i can keep track of them. I guess this might be helpful to some of you guys, so here you go.
Some of these were gutted from posts where the original was deleted and so can’t be linked to in the masterpost list - especially one by Tumblr user melkh who has since either deleted or changed their url, so props to them.
Here we go then!
Freeware
Alchemy- this is a really fun program. You play around making abstract shapes until you start to see something in them, kind of like a Rorschach test. Then you use the shapes as a base to draw it from.
MyPaint- a pretty decent painting program that also has the benefit of working on Unix systems.
openCanvas 1.1- I haven’t used openCanvas in years but it was a nice program with a pretty unique feel to it.
ArtRage- Only used this a couple of times donkey’s years ago just before I got oC, but I’ve heard good things about it.
The GIMP - In a similar vein to Photoshop, but free. I couldn’t get on with it when I tried it out a few years ago, but it’s pretty popular and is available on Unix systems and Macs.Not-free-ware
Photoshop- Standard painting fare. Probably the most flexible program (particularly the latest versions) but not designed to act in a “natural” way. If you’ve used it for painting versus something like Painter you know what I mean. Who the fuck pays for it though? Google “Photoshop tumblr masterpost” and take your pick.
Paint Tool Sai- Far more affordable and definitely worth paying for if you can. The brushes are very decent (especially when they’ve been tweaked a little), the gui is simple and intuitive, and I dare you to find a program with which making smooth lineart is easier.
Corel Painter- My program of choice for most things. More tools than you could ever possibly use and pretty cheap on a student license, providing that you can prove you’re a student! It’s got a few bugs but if you want realism or a more natural feel than PS or SAI this is the program for you.Anatomy

Thanks for featuring me. :D Lots of good references on this list!
Japanese is a tricky language and to be honest, I don’t encourage self study. But if you live in an area with no possible way of taking Japanese classes, there’s no other way, right? :) I’ve did some research since a lot of you dear followers asked about this matter and found some useful links~
My advice would be to start learning Hiragana and Katakana first. Hiragana is here and Katakana here. Remember! The most important aspect of kana is learning the correct order of the strokes! (click on each symbol to see an animation of the specific order)
Going to Japan and you want just a list of useful phrases? Go here~

….hmmmmm…
For Photoshop, I just use the program’s default wet media, calligraphy and dry media brushes, and Freakshow’s brushes!
I will do bad things tonight ohohoho
