A lot of yall ask me about hands specifically, so I'm using them as an example

Step one: dump a big blobby lump vaguely in the shape and location the thing should be

Step two: erase whatever looks like it doesn't belong there

Step three: refine and profit

I personally have a really hard time with forced perspective and foot positioning so this is super handy for that, and like... people sitting cross-legged, or with folded arms, or pointing something towards the pov.

say nice shit about their art. fangirl about it, compliment the art fundamentals or the vibe or the color whatever. share their posts online

it used to be so easy to create an art community online in the past and now it's hellish. fight the algorithms. spam your friends art. they will either rlly appreciate the attention or straight up need it.

theres something slightly heartbreaking about the thought that the people around you don't care about your creations. by all means, you should create art for yourself but also, sometimes that art is a direct window into your inner world and when friends and loved ones ignore that it can sting pretty bad

Mini lore snippet lol: at first I just doodled the cat alone in the middle of a page, but I loved him so much I just turned the page and drew the whole thing. He's so great.
