The time will pass anyway

A weird discourse all over my timeline now is if referencing, 3D models, and "tracing" still counts as art or if it's cheating and lemme tell you, you people would hate art school

One time I told my professor I didn't use a leaf reference for a tree I was drawing and he made me scrap the entire project. I can't tell you how many times a professor has told me to stop trying to "figure out" a pose and just trace a photo. This is just how it's done guys.

dont trace reference images. dont even LOOK at reference images. in fact, don't ever look at anything that exists in the world, in person or in photos or in videos, even when you're not drawing, because you will still be able to use the memories of what something looks like as a reference when you're drawing it later. yes that includes yourself. destroy all the mirrors in your house. don't look down at your hands or feet. don't look. close your eyes. close them tight. forget everything. it's okay, embrace the darkness. just forget.

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

now we know the source fellas please appreciate and acknowledge the artist for all ur memes
