Piece done for this Skillshare class by Iva Mikles (Art Side of Life) to make stylized, simple characters in various positions with Procreate, then placing them in the windows of the building template she made!
Of course, I ended up doing Buffy characters lol I plan on making my own building when I have time. The video is a collection of short timelapses of me making the characters.

things to study once classes end
for those who want to keep up a habit or just enjoy learning
a new language
a style of literature less commonly studies (e.g. fantasy, science fiction - I took a sci-fi course this semester and it was so fun)
practice an instrument or learn some music theory
take some skillshare courses!
start / join a book club. this isn't really studying but imo most English courses are just really expensive book clubs
learn to read tarot / study other spirituality. I want to get better at astrology
study your local history! your library probably has a bunch of stuff on it
pick up a new hobby or craft and learn the history of it
study the plants in your local forest, aim to create a mini foraging guide
design a heavy programming project for yourself, challenge yourself to learn how to do it before the fall term starts
teach yourself some psychology! there's a LOT about it out there
do a bible study if that's something that suits you
the 1980s UK punk scene. I just took a course on this it's great
really any pop culture era
the Salem witch trials. there's a lot to learn there
if you're up to it, learn the history of some local indigenous / aboriginal groups if you happen to be on colonized land. learn what you can do as an ally (I actually have a reading list for those of you getting in to indigenous American allyship, and you can always reach out to me for a starting point)
literally take out a textbook from a library or get a used textbook off a friend and read through it, annotate it if you can, study the material. It's fun to learn without deadlines looming.
work on your handwriting

Virtual Fibercrafts Skillshare THIS SATURDAY!
From our Climate Action Youth Advocate and General Volunteers:
BFP’s first Skillshare will be on Saturday 1/27 at 7:00 pm EST! Stop by if you want to learn how to make warm clothing to donate to your local community!
Here are the supplies you will need: Fibercrafts require very little to get started. For crocheting, you will need yarn (in this demonstration we will be using #4 worsted weight yarn, but other weights can be used, you just have to adjust the gauge), and a crochet hook (we will be demonstrating on a H/8 or 5 mm hook. Others will work, and if using yarn of a different size, be sure to check the standard gauges for your yarn).
For sewing, you will need fabric that is stiff enough to work with (fleece, flannel, and cotton will work,) sewing needles, some sewing pins, and thread.
A note on materials: cotton yarn is best for beginners as it is stiffer, harder to break, and doesn’t fray as easily, while aluminum hooks are best for beginners as they withstand pressure. Dollar stores and Walmart sell sewing kits cheaply, which are acceptable for beginner projects. You may have to buy extra thread, or pins separately. Nylon and polyester threads tend to be the easiest to work with. Some beginners also prefer double-sided sewing tape in place of pins.

hihi ! i wanted to ask if you're a self-taught artist or if you went to art school to get where you are right now? ^_^
hi! the short answer is "technically no", as i've gone to art school.
my longer answer is the following:
i have complicated thoughts about the term "self-taught". it's difficult to know where to draw the line, so to speak.
for example, if i take an online course (say, a class101 course, or skillshare), does that still "count" as being self taught? does taking AP art count? or a public watercolor class, or even following a tutorial, whether online or those "how to draw manga" books (debatable but that's the point of this being complicated, I think).
what about if you went to art school, and learned very little from the staff? most of my teachers assigned projects, but it was up to us to develop the skills necessary to carry it out. they would not teach us how to draw, but rather simply gave us guidelines on the project (i.e, it has to be a three page comic, or a work based on a news article). i've also encountered plenty of teachers that have done... the opposite of teaching.
basically, a lot of my time in art school was spent teaching myself the necessary components to fulfill the requirements set for me. i don't know if that still counts as "self-taught", even though i was the only one working.
i do think i've benefitted from some teacher's knowledge and the opportunities afforded to me (access to supplies/printing machines, etc.), so i'm not saying i'm entirely self taught or that art school isn't "worth it" (that's an entire other discussion that i don't care to get into), but i also know i've spent a LOT of my time teaching myself too, during university but especially growing up, when my family was against my wanting to be an artist in the first place.
to summarize, i think everyone is self-taught to some degree, and the idea of "self-taught" and suddenly not being self taught because you went to art school is an arbitrary way to categorize people.

Studying for Fun
Ok, Girlies, Part of me was like “duh, Queenie, they know how to have fun;” but then I realise that what I actually needed to do was provide advice for structured fun- not to mention resources!!  So, those are my two points for today.
Part 1: Structure
You know what your actual timetable looks like, but here’s a sample one that I’ve made that might help you add structure to your day
Tumblr media
Now here’s how to actually do that
List out every single thing you HAVE to do in a week- work, studying etc, but also tidying, cleaning, what day is laundry day.
Make up a grid like this, or do a list of times, however you’d prefer. Fill in all the immovable things- work*,lectures- and then fill the moveable things- study time, exercise, travel time to your lectures- around them.
if you work shifts, you may need to do this weekly 3. Be realistic. Are you actually going to wake up at 5:00? Girl, are you not going to socials on Wednesday nights? Are you not going to need a little bit more time in bed on a Thursday morning? You know what makes sense for you. But also, can you realistically get all the things you need to do done if you wake up at 10 and go to bed by 6?
I’m using silly examples, but I think you get the point that you need to make sure you are working healthily for your lifestyle.
Let me know if you want a more in-depth tutorial on this!
Another idea that can really help for structure and discipline is parallel play … that’s a phrase usually thrown about in child development, but whatever…
Parallel play or body doubling is essentially two or more people working on two separate tasks, but in the same space.
study with your friends
Set goals with your friends
Call them and exercise together
Accountability buddies are how you keep up structure.
Part Two: resources
These are some of my favourite places to learn things
youtube
youtube
youtube
(Yes, I do like history, how did you guess?)
*i don't use duolingo anymore bc of the whole ai, staff layoff thing... but I thought I ought include it...
Here's some others!!
Ok I'm DONE!!

Misc Star Wars Fic Recs (part 1)
black runs the space between the stars by essayofthoughts
It welcomes her when she twists her hand at her side as though to caress the great invisible shadow that follows her footsteps. She welcomes it as it nips at her ankles and guides her down this path and that until she finds new people to meet and new places to hide.
It sings in her head, too, strange songs no ear can hear, and the maids of the court think her strange as she tilts her head to follow the strange slow song that rings her round.
-
Second Hope by bornofstars
In his eagerness, the Padawan almost falls over himself, bursting into their chambers. Anakin and Obi-Wan share a look of confusion at the child’s sudden appearance.
“Apologies, Masters,” He says, panting for breath. “But I thought you should know - There’s a Sith in the Room of A Thousand Fountains.”
“I beg your pardon, Padawan?”
-
Cold, hard house of gold by lovesfrogs
Ahsoka didn't mean to activate her and Anakin's unfinished project early, but it just kind of happened. It shoots her off to… the Jedi Council? And is that Anakin sitting in one of those chairs?
-
capacitance by jessepinwheel
"Oh, Cody," General Kenobi says softly, in a tone of voice that makes Cody cold with dread. "Since this war started, I have never not been in pain."
Or: The story where Obi-Wan takes on other people's pain because he's that kind of a person.
-
How to scrap battledroids by meridianpony
From a prompt: …basically Anakin and The Boys make a skillshare about how to scrap battledroids but about halfway through Tup makes a hair routine class, then other troopers post their hobbies and basically thats how they win the public over to support the clones.
-
once i called you brother by gracethescribbler
Rex can't leave his brothers alone to serve the Empire after Order 66, so he goes with them and pretends to be under the control of the chip so he can help them escape. Dealing with what's left of his brothers and his General turns out to be the hardest part. -
|to failure, sweet victor| by littlekaracan
The man behind the doorway is holding a vibroblade. He has a scar crawling down his face and a dozen more elsewhere, and he’s regained enough strength to knock the breath out of Obi-Wan’s lungs once he slams him into the wall and brings down the blade.
“Good morning,” Obi-Wan says, ducking out of the way.
The man wearing Cody’s face snarls and aims better.
-
Time travel in the Star Wars universe by shadecrawler
Finn has fought in three armies and it is his opinion that the Clone army is the strangest of the three.
Or how Finn went back in time and gained a family full of older brothers.
(Series)
-
The family amidala by dirgewithoutmusic
Padme lives. She runs.
--
Leia is growing in fits and spurts, eating greedily and crying loudly. She stays in a sling on Padme’s chest when they move, Luke held snug in a sling around Obi Wan’s. Luke gets a whole head of thick brown hair while Leia’s is still patchy and bald, but he never matches his sister’s powerful lungs.
When Padme had been sitting in her high senatorial apartment on Corsucant, holding Anakin’s sweaty hand, she had never imagined she’d be murmuring desperately soothing noises to her fussy daughter while she shot around a corner at stormtroopers, while R2D2 meddles with a ship’s blast doors behind her.
Luke starts teething on a hot jungle planet where they hunker down for three weeks, sleeping in an abandoned old temple and catching the local wildlife for dinner. Leia takes her first steps in the belly of a Corellian freighter they’ve stowed away on. She wobbles between Padme’s outstretched hands and Obi Wan’s knees and boxes of smuggled luxuries. When she falls down, Obi Wan surges forward, heart in his throat, but Leia laughs. -
scream into the void dear (where everyone can hear) by afearsomecritter (jsaer)
Archival Record 2856. 212. 389jR_0000332.TwS_Tatooine. Vault 501 Box 3489, File 222224. Audio Recording, Early Banite Empire (2nd Age) [Tentative], Early Golden Empire (1st Age) [Tentative]. Condition: Poor-Moderate, see associated notes.
“This is High General-No.”
“Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I-kriff”
“-name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. I am-was-am a Master of the Jedi Order. I am creating this recording for-”
It’s the quiet that gets to him.

Did you know there are services that offer free university-level modules, for free?
I am one of those people that are obsessed with learning, but structured courses are expensive. Not these. Here are some links if you, too, are obsessed with the pursuit of knowledge and want to learn something (for FREE!)
EdX is my personal favourite. It offers loads of subjects that are usually taken from university courses, and the ones that I have done are pretty good. These can all be taken for free, or you can pay £40 to take the assignments and recieve a graded certificate. Now, the catch here is that most of the courses are archived, which means that, occasionally, some of the links won't work and you have to be creative with the readings. I have found this to be a pretty minimal issue though, and it is worth it.
I recently took this EdX course about 19th Century literature and it was excellent. Some of the links were broken so I took some creative liberties with the readings, but I read all of the books discussed and used the course materials to critically analyse them as I did so. I didn't follow the course exactly, but it was still an enriching experience and something I wouldn't have thought to do otherwise.
Another good one is OpenLearn, which is a branch of the Open University. The OpenLearn courses are usually pretty good, although some can feel a bit lackluster and basic. Don't expect super in-depth courses, but they're good for an introduction to a subject, or to top up your skills in somethign you haven't done in a while. These offer free certificates of participation, so they're great if, say, you want a career change but you haven't studied data science since college. I enjoyed the classes I took, but I wouldn't say they were as challenging as EdX.
I recently took this OpenLearn course about Hadrian's Rome. Classical history is something I'm interested in and this was a great way to guide my study of an aspect of it.
Coursera is a very popular one. Similar to OpenLearn, these courses can sometimes be a little surface-level. These also have a much larger focus on building transferrable skills than developing cultural knowledge and learning for your own enrichment. Even so, there are some wonderful gems on there if you're willing to scroll through and find them. Coursera is also great because it has project-centred courses, where you work towards a finished product under the (virtual, recorded) guidance of an expert. Think of it like a corporate skillshare.
Last summer I took this Coursera course about screenwriting. It was project based, and I came out of it with a fully realised first draft of a pilot episode of a TV show. I realised through this process that maybe screenwriting wasn't for me, but it allowed me to get out of my comfort zone with writing and explore that avenue that I would have probably always wodered about.
OpenCulture is a good database of free courses that then redirects you to other websites, but you have to be willing to sift through the sludge with this one, as some are more worth your time than others.
Another good way to find free courses is to search for them on university websites. I have found that most US universities (and loads of UK ones too, though it is less common) offer free online courses. You have to be careful here, because sometimes they will say they are free but actually the 'free' part is viewing the syllabus.
You might be thinking 'what is the point of a course that doesn't get me a qualification?' and I'd say 'I get you, because I felt the same way,' but if you're anything like me and love learning, they're a godsend. Of course, there is nothing stopping you from finding all of the course content online, and I'd actually encourage you to do that alongside the courses, but knowing where to start is the difficult part. There is so much information to learn about any given topic that it can be overwhelming. These courses provide you with a structure that you can then use within your own wider research to learn about subjects you maybe don't want to commit to in a formal setting.
I'm not paid by any of these websites, I just think the monetisation of knowledge is wrong and awful and disgusting and anyway to beat that should be celebrated and shared and used as widely as possible.
Happy learning! :)
