projecting your visions to strangers

don't look at this post too closely this was my first time using gouache AGH anyways.... happiest belated birthday to markiplier i love his silly/crazy/incredible mind!!

btw the title comes from this song i found through a markiplier interview (quote below) Please listen to it it's so awesome.

(hope this is relevant to the group) So I had a lot of fun with the process of making my latest Cherik drawing (this one:)

So I decided to share the process with you guys, in hopes that someone might find it informative, interesting, amusing, or sexually arousing. whatevs. There’s plenty of tutorials discussing figure drawing, but too few discuss the various ways of researching and finding the pose. so, here’s how I do it. also this is fun as fuck. :)

Without further ado:

*link to the gif i was inspired by, in case anyone has managed to miss it. :P ** You may notice that these sketches are rough and often downright UGLY. I left them in their lopsided glory on purpose, so that people see that there’s no shame in sketching “ugly”. Even if your initial sketch might look ugly to you, it’s ok, it’s even GREAT, and it can turn into something polished and pretty - cuz it’s all part of learning.

pfp set for @cheddar-baby !!! 💕🏳️‍🌈

ych of rayne & lupa [both she/they]. gift comm for a friend!🤘🐺

Fatalistic sarcasm is a thing, however, it usually hides deep feelings of insecurity, and whether you consciously recognize this or not, it validates them. Seriously, I used to constantly make jokes about how other people’s work was better than mine, and it did nothing for my self-esteem, it was a tool to deflect from my own feelings of inferiority and it actively worked against me thinking critically about my own and other people’s work. If it was a joke I could put myself down instead of analyzing why someone’s work was better and trying to incorporate that into my own

As someone who took creative writing courses I was constantly surrounded by other brilliant people, if I hung my head in shame every time I read something as good or better than mine I never would have lifted it. 

As someone who has watched a lot of writers with very good idea’s crash and burn I mean it when I say you either develop a healthy sense of respect for your own work or you stop writing. 

There’s three things I really wish more people consider

1. Do you think their work is better because it’s a different style, one that you like? There’s an element to ‘the grass is greener on the other side’, I have seen people work in some amazing styles that I wished to god I could replicate, some I managed, some I never did, but there’s nothing wrong with either. having a different style Is Not the same as having a bad style, each has their own strengths and you can admire one without putting yours down

2. Knowing someone who is a better writer is a blessing and if they knew you were using their work to bring yourself down they would not be happy, mooch off that friend, analyze their work, ask them to edit your shit, as long as you’re not annoying them be shameless about it. the best thing creative writing did for me was give me the confidence to ask people to critic my work and shamelessly better each other for that sharing
