Reality Shock
I post a video of myself and so many people are surprised to find that I’m a guy, not a girl. I’ve gotten so many messages about this hahaha. My icon is of my OC, Maia, which tips everyone off to me being a girl. Despite the fact that on my DA profile, I have “Male” listed, and my name is Matthew Laskowski, also listed right on my page and a good number of my artworks.

SIDE-B →
Just a little reminder in case some of my newer followers have missed that I have a reverse-side to this blog. I post reblogs and off-beat things there that not everyone might care about (also just to keep my main blog cleaner.) It’s still a bit recent, but be sure to follow SIDE-B if you like reblogs and (shorter) rants about them.

Anonymous asked: Hi, I've been following you from DA and I really admire your blog. You're a talented artist with a good head on his shoulders, and you're very charitable. Most artists get annoyed with what seems like trivial questions when it comes to people asking about art and careers. You offer a lot of insight and advice from real life experience. I follow a lot of other talented artists on...

UltimeciaFFB's Essential Photoshop Swatches
Alright I got quite a few notes sent about that custom swatch kit I have, so I figure I might as well let you guys in on it. I’m not making this a huge release or anything, mostly because I have NO idea where these swatches came from — and I’ve failed finding them in the past — but I know they belong to SOMEONE out there. EDIT: Oh hey! Thanks to JellyFishFlan for finding...

onlymadhere asked: Hello! Sorry to bother, but I had a question I was wondering if you could help with. I'm an aspiring comic artist, but I'm getting a bit of a late start (I'm 19 and I've only been seriously studying art for like, two years). Anyway, I have certainly improved, but I still require reference pictures for literally everything. I just can't draw from my imagination alone. Is...

virtuasnacks asked: What are some of the steps you go by to color your illustrations? I like the way your final piece looks for most of your pictures and wanted to know the methods you go through to get their.

Consider the following
Brian Cox said in The Wonders of the Solar System, “Our planet is unique, but it doesn’t exist in splendid isolation, it is intimately connected with its cosmic neighbors. Earth is not the master of its own destiny, and it never has been. The life and death of our planet is influenced by forces emanating from the very depths of space.”
Here’s a funny thought, thinking...

1000 Followers!
Way cool! I hit 1000 followers over the last day. 1024 followers as of this moment, actually. So I guess I have a Gigafollower. That “City Drawing Tip” helped out quite a bit, who knew that would’ve been so popular?
Either way, one cool trend I’ve noticed is that people seem to like my own original posts a lot more than things I find or reblogs. That’s actually...

Thoughts on Effort & Results
kolbisneat:
It’s Friday. I suppose I have work to do but…you know…it’s Friday.
So I posted about my interview with Ape on the Moon earlier in the week and there was a lot of lovely feedback! A consistent point of discussion was regarding my thoughts on how results of your efforts relate to each other. I wasn’t expecting such a response but hey, internets.
Because of this I figured I’d share it...
