You're not the only one who ships Cyuss and Ioshua. Just saying. ♥
AnonymousI’m glad :P They are such a sweet pairing!
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.
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.Sketchbook copic: a bit different program
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

Un-Aired Moments From The ‘Drag Race’ Reunion
In the exclusive, never-before-seen video above, RuPaul, the final three, and the rest of the RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4 Queens take six minutes of questions from the reunion audience, and as you might imagine, things get confrontational. We also find out the answers to some burning questions, like Why Did Willam Puke? We’ve been waiting three entire days for this!Wait till the end lmfao
“Being happy is the greatest feeling in the world…
…Because when you’re truly happy, you can’t imagine yourself being anything but happy ever again.”
Quote from a movie, No I don’t remember what movie.
