As the presence of the grumpy blue bear indicates, this is response to one of Andrew Dobson’s comics- one that gave my an aneurysm since he basically pooh-poohed the concept of a cartoonist being capable of drawing realistically.
I’m big on encouraging experimentation and working in a lot of different styles but I definitely argue that naturalistic studies are super helpful in improving everything from your hand-eye coordination and observasion skills, to knowledge of anatomy and movement. You’ll find that it helps you develop your own style and also makes the process of drawing easier. Though like I said, it isn’t necissarily easy so don’t be discouraged if your portraits come out a little….unrecognizable.That’s where my drawing teacher’s advice is really helpful- try and identify the most distinctive features of your subject. (I would suggest Mort Drucker as an artist to study in that regard. He’s a freaking awesome MAD Magazine artist. ) I think that advice applies to stylization in general too.
Have fun practicing it, though!

For those interested, here is the original comic of Dobson’s:
Seriously, I love seeing these response comics, because it makes a clear example of just how lacking Dobson’s are. Both @orangezeppelin and @darkvioletcloud made their response comics with a much better message to people(as I bossed to Dobson’s “look at this dumb person that doesn’t agree with me! Aren’t they dumb and me so smart and clever?”) and both comic responses have a much more informed and positive message to them compared to Dobson just wanting to one-up his strawmen.
Major kudos to @orangezeppelin for doing this. Hopefully we can avoid Dobson blackmailing you and treating you like shot over it compared to last time.
I think he finally blocked me so he might not see it for a while at least. 😂 But yeah, what bothers me so much about his comics like this is that he’s never really sending a positive and inspiring message to artists. It’s usually him just trying to deflect criticism or paint other artists in a bad light.
Yes. Anyone is capable of rape. Idgaf if it’s my brother, uncle, or father. I will believe the woman.
My best friend was accused of rape. And the accuser was absolutely telling the truth even though they did not press charges, they decided to tell me and I believe them. Also TWO of my friends confirmed witnessing and trying to stop it, I understand there was more than one violation. What the fuck is OPs point?
Obviously I’m not friends with the sexual predator anymore.
They specifically said “falsely accused”. Can y’all read, or…?
My point is, it’s probably not a false accusation. It also talked about believing women and I would believe a woman over my brother or father because she doesn’t benefit from coming forward about something like that. Also yes all men.
According to a 2017 report by the US National Institutes of Health, fake accusers “were primarily motivated by emotional gain. Most false allegations were used to cover up other behaviour such as adultery or skipping school”.
Hmmm…how about this one?
The Duke lacrosse case was a widely reported 2006 criminal case in which three members of the Duke University men’s lacrosse team were falsely accused of rape. The case evoked varied responses from the media, faculty groups, students, the community, and others. The case’s resolution sparked public discussion of racism, media bias, and due process on campuses, and ultimately led to the resignation and disbarment of the lead prosecutor, Durham CountyDistrict AttorneyMike Nifong.
The second stripper who performed at the house, Kim Roberts, said that Mangum was not raped. She stated that Mangum was not obviously hurt. Likewise, she refuted other aspects of Mangum’s story including denying that she helped dress Mangum after the party and saying that they were not forcefully separated by players as Mangum had reported.
DNA results revealed that the woman had sex with a man who was not a Duke lacrosse player. Attorney Joseph Cheshire said the tests indicated DNA from a single male source came from a vaginal swab taken from Mangum. Media outlets reported that this DNA was from her boyfriend.
However, it was later revealed that DNA from multiple males who were neither the lacrosse players nor Mangum’s boyfriend had been found, but that these findings had been deliberately withheld from the Court and the defense.
She had made a similar claim in the past which she did not pursue. On August 18, 1996, the dancer – then 18 years old – told a police officer in Creedmoor she had been raped by three men in June 1993, according to a police document. The officer who took the woman’s report at that time asked her to write a detailed timeline of the night’s events and bring the account back to the police, but she never returned.
The strip club’s security officer said that Mangum told co-workers four days after the party that she was going to get money from some boys at a Duke party who had not paid her, mentioning that the boys were white. The security guard did not make a big deal of it because he felt that no one took her seriously.
Mangum was arrested in 2002 for stealing a cab from a strip club where she had been working. She led police officers on a high-speed chase before she was apprehended, at which point her blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit. She was sentenced to three weekends in detention.
Yeah, I’m sure she didn’t stand to benefit from that, right?
In December 2017 a student was cleared of rape thanks to evidence uncovered in his Facebook messages, however, he still had to spend over three years in prison before he could prove his innocence.
There are more. My friend @lastsonlost has a long list of cases and maybe he’ll be generous enough to share them.
Now, maybe you don’t give a shit about due process. Maybe you don’t care if one of your male relatives is accused of sexual assault. Maybe seeing them unjustly suffer even if there’s a complete lack of evidence and credible witnesses means nothing to you, but for the rest of us, it means a lot.
I have an autistic son, 16 years old and nonverbal. He is innocent and vulnerable in ways able-bodied women of sound mind are not. He would be completely unable to defend himself if someone decided to accuse him of something like that. He doesn’t understand the meaning of evil. He has no concept of it. He doesn’t have a single malicious bone in his entire body.
He sure as hell doesn’t go around generalizing and demonizing people because of their gender, much less anything else. That alone makes him a better person than you’ll probably ever be so you can shove that “yes all men” bullshit where the sun doesn’t shine.
I didn’t read the full reblog (i am using the tumblr app) but I guess for “emotional gain” or “revenge” but that is mostly in the 1% while the other 99% rape victims are telling the truth
Mohammad Asif: “I keep thinking, ‘I just dropped her off, she was just a normal passenger, why has she done that?” -accused by said passenger of raping her at knife point – would be in jail except was exonerated by voice recording app on his phone.
Soner Yasa: four drunk women reported to police that he had sexually assaulted them as a ploy to refuse to pay a $13 cab fare- Once again he’d be in jail if not for video surveillance in his cab.

Circulating false statistics about rape, and then literally becoming enraged when they find out that women aren’t being victimized as much as they were led to believe.
I have to ask, are you surprised at all that these disgusting people would gladly join a lynch mob without any evidence? Almost as if they are completely happy to create more victim just so they can validate their paranoia.
Emmet Till, Jay Cheshire, Ross Bullock and Lesandro Guzman-Feliz were a fine price to pay, right? Several years of numerous men’s lives were also a fine sarifice, right? All so people could simply listen and believe.
“She suddenly broke and said I was absolutely right. She had made the whole thing up because she was angry with her father and wanted to teach him a lesson,” McCulloch said.
I don’t want to hear how you think it’s rare or how you swear up and down that men are believed more because it’s not true. There’s practically a new Old Man released from prison every other day.
I feel like there’s is this general belief that once you have someone convicted of a crime that’s it like they magically stop existing and you never have to face that person ever again.
The woman who falsely accused Brian Banks thought that since she was wrong.
Now she has to pay back 1.5 million and I honestly think she deserves far worse.
I love it how everyone forgets that everyone lies because someone with tears shows up on their doorstep.
The first two posters should just say they hate Black men and leave.
Just adding more
Even men are catching on that False allegations are becoming too common
I was going to pitch into this debate, but…
1) you guys nailed it
2) they still won’t listen anyways….
I think a law should be put in place where if a rape allegation is proved false. That the person who lied should serve the sentence of what the other person would have received and if that person committed suicide over such false allegation. They should be behind bars for murder. Also, if they got won a settlement, got money from findings, and whatever the accused lost during and after the trial. They should pay back 2 fold back to the falsely accused.
I got a huge agreement with grey-firearms but I want to add one thing, if it took you more than a certain number of years to announce then it didn’t affect your life enough, be the statement true or false. If it took you that long to say then why should I care I mean you clearly didn’t for quite a while
Mmm I think that’s a bad way to go about it.
Real life victims sometimes have a hard time getting help because of guilt, they’re afraid to come out or any reason of self blame(idk it just goes along those lines I think). Men especially are scared and afraid to come forth because of how society treats them. Everything should be based on facts either way.
Literally this post broke the fucking site, and I’m here for it.
orangeandgreengardens up there…smh.
So you’re just omniscient now? You know that false accusations are never false, they’re almost always true? I’m glad as hell you don’t work in our judicial system.
Let’s start accusing people who don’t believe in “innocent until proven guilty” of crimes they didn’t commit. See how quickly we can teach them.
We’ve tried. They just say it doesn’t count when it’s them.
There seems to be a disconnect somewhere around empathy for them. They can’t be affected by false allegations against themselves, because they know they didn’t do the thing, but they can’t acknowledge the possibility of someone else being falsely accused of something.
They acknowledge it, they just don’t think it’s significant. Some of them even claim people should be sacrificed. Aridara even claimed he’d be willing to take the hit himself, though he also claimed accusations don’t have any real consequences.
So, listen and believe types, was I supposed to believe the women who claimed a black guy sexually assaulted them, when in reality they didn’t like him making a community garden, or oooh how about convenience store Susan and the sexually harassing black kid which turned out to be his back bumping into her?
THATS THE TOE NECKLACE PERSON AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
this is genuinely so fucking disgusting and horrifying. let her rest in peace and stop being a racist piece of shit with a CHILD’S REMAINS
Chiming in as a professional osteologist: this is wildly unethical and unfortunately extremely common. Big shock, but most bone hoarders are entirely ignorant of history and/or racist shit heads who powertrip off the opportunity to own somebody else’s remains. Most are unspeakably boring people who feel the need to pretend to be a witch / cultist / scientist / curator so that someone will think they are edgy and cool, and either don’t know/ don’t care that many older medical specimens were obtained before consent and professional codes of ethics were a thing. Inevitably, academic institutions clean up the messes that these idiots leave behind, and this behavior isn’t victim free. There is a huge difference between donated medical specimens, and whatever the fuck this situation is. Nobody ever consented to be shown off like a trophy by some empty-headed scene kid whose grasp of human decency is even shittier than her dye job.
heres a master collection of the worst screencaps youve ever seen:
and of course, because everyone is a crackhead today i guess:
and of course, at PEAK headassery, we have this:
What the ffffuck
Hey guys not to dip in on the discourse here but selling human remains on etsy directly violates etsy’s policies and i’d definitely not snitch if a couple (a lot) of people reported this.
can my followers who have etsy report this please?
Because it can be a bit hard to find out where to report things (it took me 15 mins on searching around because im dumb) I took some screenshots to help people report her.
1.) Report her shop altogether. She’s selling HUMAN REMAINS. Her whole shop needs to be taken down. I already reported her but here you can see the item that should be reported as well as where to report her shop.
2.) When you’re on the page for the item you want to report, scroll all the way down. Then click “Report this item to Etsy’
3.) This is how you fill out the report form. If you want to go into detail about the product, even better! Go for it! I kept it short to show off the reporting box
Just click report this listing and call it a day! I would recommend only reporting once- we don’t want to flood them with reports to the point where they can’t sort through them to properly take down her shop. I hope this helps!
spongebob and patrick emotinally abuse squidward on a daily basis and nobody???talks about this????
Mr. Krabs is basically a slave owner since he admits to almost never paying his employees.
Patrick killed like 20 people at the frycook olympics.
Plankton was so lonely that he built a computer to marry, but also programmed it to belittle him and go behind his back.
Sandy cheeks represents the oppressed minority because she is the only mammal in bikini bottom and lives alone in the middle of nowhere despite being smarter than all of them combined and yet no one here is talking about representation????
Mrs. Puff suffers from Spongebob continuously failing his driving test to the point where he one time crashed so hard, she lost her inflation (since she’s a pufferfish) and was reduced to shriveled wreck.
Don’t forget about how Spongebob constantly harassed and followed Mrs. puff afterwards despite how she clearly didn’t want anything to do with him after the accident.
Bubble Buddy killed a man.
Bubble Buddy poisoned the water supply, burned the crops, and delivered a plague onto the houses of the Bikini Bottom residents.
he did??
No… but are we just going to wait around until he does?!
….yea. no one upset about this is going to go all meme style and post reaction pics during the story.
>“I can understand why you’re afraid. You’re a young black man, and I’m sure you’re a good guy.”
Gosh, that sure looks exactly like a statement a lawyer could twist into evidence of racial bias in a lawsuit, and one it would be extremely unlikely for a random cop, much less a Sheriff, to make.
Oh look, the cops officially say there’s no evidence this happened and Hermione refuses to contact them or the press*. So much for the One Good Cop™ who said he’d help.
Also, VA beach cops don’t even carry tasers, and “State Police note that “in this area, Sheriff deputies work the court systems and are only in their vehicles during the day to serve warrants and court documents, they do not work evening or midnight shifts.”“
“The Norfolk Sheriff’s Office also confirmed that they only have civil process deputies out on the streets to serve evictions and similar functions, and that they would not respond to a stop in another jurisdiction.”
In short;
* I looked at the map, and the only counties near Virginia Beach are Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake. And he wouldn’t be in Chesapeake unless he somehow decided to go past Norfolk, where they live.
Isn’t there enough real bad stuff going on without making up more for your narrative?
well i guess this is it
