I need feminism because...

Zayn Malik can pay to leave in the middle of a world tour, the middle of a contract, and make his own music because he didn’t like One Direction’s music, but Kesha is being forced to stay in a contract with her mental abuser, sexual assaulter, and rapist and Sony won’t let her out without repercussions 

Sam Pepper goes around with sick and horrible pranks and nobody bats an eye, and when people do, they get shit because the girls who got their ass grabbed should have liked it.

Chris Brown can beat women and get away with it WITH a career and female fans still worshiping this woman beater.

Hillary Clinton will get asked about her wardrobe in interviews instead of political topics, unlike her other male runners.

Tampons and pads are taxed as luxury items, but male shaving items are not.

When I get catcalled at the mall, the guys yell at me about how I should take it as a compliment and only stop when my boyfriend shows up and tells them to stop.

Nobody bats an eye at a shirtless male, but the moment a woman doesn’t have a shirt on and her breasts are out, people are in outrage.

Men can’t go out in public wearing ‘feminine’ items without being ridiculed.

I got detention for wearing shorts over my leggings because my shorts were not fingertip length and was distracting to my male students learning environment, despite having full length leggings on and my shorts covering my butt.

5SOS can have a completely bare naked magazine cover, only cover their junk with their hands, and be praised, but Selena Gomez releases an album cover of her naked, but at the same time quite covered, and gets called a slut on social media.

When Justin Bieber posts a naked photo of him on a boat (with his back facing the camera) he is praised and drooled over, but a woman can’t post a bikini photo without being attention seeking.

Tyler Joseph can’t wear a dress on stage during a performance without being called out on the media, and in person, but a female can.

When a female says she’s a feminist, people think that women want to be better than men.

When a male says he’s a feminist, people think he is lying to get women’s attention.

When a gay man says he is raped by another man, he is told he should have liked it because he was gay.

When a boy says he was raped by a female, his friends say he should have liked it because he got laid by an older woman.

When a lesbian is raped by a man, he gets away free because he claims to try and turn her straight so her family would accept her.

Because ‘there are only two genders’.

Because pansexuality, demisexuality, asexuality, agender, genderfluidity, and other sexualities and genders are seen as ‘fake’ and ‘jokes’ because people use them as jokes.

I need fucking feminism because we all deserve to be treated equally.

These are Dan Howell and Phil Lester holding hands. This is a very rare phan, it only appears once per 10.100 phans. Reblog in 5 seconds or bad luck.

Reblog and post a photo of yourself alongside the way you draw yourself

it’s for science

The problem with having curly hair:

It's thick

curling it

tbh i don’t understand why letting your son play with barbies will ‘turn him gay’ bcuz you’re literally letting him play with an overly-sexy female doll where he can take her clothes off and touch her boobs

yep

that’s so gay

important things for new or young digital artists to remember:

don’t shade colors with black

don’t overuse the airbrush tool, especially when it comes to shading

layers have different settings, explore them!

if your lines are wiggly when you draw, check your brush stability settings

if you find your lineart is looking too stiff/not like your sketch, try cleaning up the sketch instead of lining it. it helps keep fluidity and the feel of your original drawing

crop your pictures, don’t leave a ton of empty space unless you add some kind of background

make sure your canvas is set to at least 300dpi 

draw on a large canvas ( i draw on a 3000x3000px canvas) it will be easier to line your work and everything will look much smoother even if you shrink it down

.jpeg files save space, but this file type may compress your art and sacrifice quality. when I post art I always use .png

I made a relevant comic strip about tracing art after recent discussing this topic in phandom with @philslesters [here], seeing what happened to @pinofs and expressing my own opinion. I mixed all together and converted it in inspirating and motivating [as I hope] little story about two artists.

Also, the story with Nikki has a good end as well, and I know a lot of people trace art to learn. It’s okay! Tracing someone’s art is okay if you use it as a self-taught tactic [kinda still for the beginners, better use references, references are your friends forever] and don’t share it as your own work by changing few details. But if you really do want and love to be an artist, please, don’t trace. Don’t make the mirror out of yourself. Be a prism. Don’t make other people who worked really hard feel sad or angry. Work hard yourself and make other people happy.

Love to all of you, who enjoy drawing as I do.\(* *\)

Also, comic includes @danisnotonfire and @amazingphil, because me and my digital fellows are trying to make a phanart-dom a better place and I think these two outstanding guys would support the idea I put in this story.
