Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

ether as severance + “the courtship of kier and imogene” (relationship parallels)

An ether factory does not produce ether

The ether factory in Salt's Neck and the ether mills mentioned as part of Kier Eagan's history were not places where diethyl ether was manufactured. They were regular factories or mills with strategically placed vats of boiling diethyl ether to intoxicate the workers when at work, effectively functioning as a primitive form of severance.

(1) Diethyl ether was historically used as an anesthetic because it causes short term memory loss. Kier served as a military doctor in his early 20s, presumably during the American Civil War (1861-1865), so would have been exposed to the anesthetic properties of ether. He founded Lumon Industries in 1865.

(2) Diethyl ether is not something would be synthesized in a vat (it is extremely volatile and flammable), especially not in the way pictured in The Courtship of Kier and Imogene.

(3) If you had vats of boiling diethyl ether around your regular mill or factory, your workers could still perform the basic functions of their jobs, but would not remember most of it. Lumon created severed work places in 1865!

(4) Harmony says she hadn't consumed ether since she was eight, so this is probably when she stopped working at the factory. She also refers to Hampton selling ether as "shameful", because to a Kier cultist, ether intoxication is a quasi-religious alienation of one from their work.

(5) The effect of having a town where the ether factory shuts down would result in an entire town of ether addicts who are no longer getting high at work which is what we saw in Salt's Neck.

(6) I think it is pretty clear by now that Dieter (Diethyl ether) was what Kier Eagan referred to as his persona while in a state of ether intoxication.

Imogen was a child bride.

I've been thinking this ever since Woe was described as half the height of a normal woman. That felt child bride coded, but here is the rest:

Kier didn't have his first child until he was 44. If Kier met his wife in his youth, as Lumon would have you believe, she wouldn't be in good shape to have two children one year apart from each other in her 40s in 1885 and 1886 respectively.

All the evidence provided in attached pictures supports the idea that he found himself a child bride at the ether factory, while undercover as a swabman.

I included some more fantastical pulls about Woe because I believe Imogen is represented as the woeful bride. Kier seems to have felt some kind of way about the sins of his past on his deathbed, so he made up the fourth appendix and Dieter to sever himself from the sin. He made up Dieter to be his scapegoat. (If you grew up not religious, like I did, google scapegoat+religious) Part of his guilt (?) might revolve around his child bride, given she may have been sick from the factory and she was definitely woeful.

The fact we only know two things about Imogen, she was a swab girl and married Kier, leaves a lot of question marks about her ultimate fate. Poor girl.

Ether As Severance + “the Courtship Of Kier And Imogene” (relationship Parallels)

If Kier & Imogene knew each other at work, and Imogene was effectively severed due to the ether high, it makes sense that he would find Imogene outside of work and tell her that their innies fell in love at work, whether it was the truth or not, just to get her to be the child bride.

Fits with a lot of religious/cult behavior where a man will corner a woman (sometimes younger) and say something like "God meant for us to be together," or "God came to me in a dream and revealed that you are my soulmate," to manipulate the woman into being with him.

The mysticism around Kier being a religious figure due to "mastering the tempers" and severance just makes it more believable.

It's what Kier did to Imogene, it's what Burt is doing to Irving, and I wouldn't doubt it's what Helena's about to do to Mark – or perhaps already subtly did at the Chinese restaurant? Or meant to but failed/chickened out because she's so awkward.

I want to add, I do think this unethical practice of yielding the next generation of Eagans by coercing (assaulting) people under their employ is probably normal within the family tradition.

Inside Lumon it's romanticized so they can justify this abuse of employees, which is in line with the rest of the show. History is written by the victors, so many probably don't live long or are stored away, Shelly Miscavige style, the second they show signs of objection towards Lumon.

(just so we’re clear, while the kier-imogene dynamic is clearly paralleled with helena and mark, it is also reiterated in cobel and mark, dr mauer and gemma, and even burt and irving to some extent; season 2 has also made it a point to show us that helena and cobel are both victims in their own ways while being perpetrators. it is not a black and white situation and misogyny will get you blocked.)
