"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

(threatening)(to what im trying to draw) i will figure out your shapes

does anyone know how to draw. has anyone ever drawn anything ever.

some of you seem to be under the unfortunate impression that i enjoy finishing things. i enjoy making things

i wish drawing was a real thing that you could actually do

devastating: artist who has not practiced fundamentals enough to execute high concept idea eats shit

You actually cannot skip to being good at a creative endeavour that you haven't put much practice into. You cannot trick your way out of the 'knows that your work is not what you want it to be but don't know how to improve it' stage by planning or reading or talking about it really really hard. At some point you just have to craft through it until your brain finds it's own unique way back to the 'everything I make slaps' stage and be prepared to start the cycle all over again. You just have to make that project you're excited about slightly less good than you want it to be. (Says this standing in a pool of blood and covered in blood and also coughing up a little blood)

I dunno, stop apologizing for your art. This includes not posting enough, too much, changing style, inconsistent style, repetition, subject. Its your art its your expression. Have fun.

you're allowed to draw. draw badly even. draw and then delete it. draw and rework it and then delete it anyway. draw only half of it and the other half three years later. in one style or another. in different styles in the same week. traditional or digital. you're literally allowed to draw however you want
