Consistent art style? Never heard of her. (Art account, @eighteenlizards on main)

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

My intention isn’t to BOSS people around. But people who don’t create on tumblr really have to understand that if creators stop posting here, you won’t have anything else to like but maybe memes. If you want content to circle around to your dashboard... you have to pay it forward and reblog. That is why this website is dying. The Ban is not the only reason.

[nyctoheart]

And its like.... people dont even fucking realize how special tumblr is

Tumblr doesn’t have verified checkmarks. Tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm to you show ❝The Best Stuff❞. Tumblr doesn’t display how many followers you have. Tumblr isn’t obsessed with subscriptions. 

Tumblr is an even playing field compared to websites like Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube. Which means its up to us, the users, to spread the word of people we enjoy-- the way the internet should be.

I’m not asking you to reblog shit you don’t like. I’m not asking you to reblog everything out of pity. But when you see a post you genuinely like, reblog it.

[tywvin-archive]

I think so many people mistake the ‘you should reblog’ message with ‘I’m greedy and all I want is notes’ when it’s really not at all like that.

When creators say they’re discouraged from creating because their posts get no notes, they don’t mean they will refuse to create unless their last edit reaches at least 1k notes. What they mean is that the effort they’re putting into creating something purely out of inspiration and the need to share their passion and creativity with the world is being consumed and forgotten, just like it is on Instagram. Tumblr has changed from having an even reblog-like ratio, or even twice as many reblogs as likes, to being another social media where users consume content instead of sharing it.

We’re not trying to force you to reblog everything or want you to fill your blog with things you don’t like. But Tumblr is built on reblogs and likes. This is not a fast-food company where you can order something, consume it, and then throw it away. The very base of this website is sharing, as opposed to Instagram. Here, likes don’t give our posts exposure, reblogs do.

Notes are not the problem, the fact that you want new content without supporting creators is. So yeah, don’t be surprised if creators stop creating because nobody wants to share their creations.

To be fair, if people just wanted notes, that’s honestly not asking for much. You can’t really monetize notes as far as I know.

A collection of little ones today 🔍

I love this book (if that wasn't abundantly clear already XD)

[adelesianart]

Shadow the cat from the book 'my name is Mina' (drawn in the book 'my name is Mina').

A lil early today! Three for three on the dailies tho 💪

[adelesianart]

Day 2 of daily uploads 💪

this one is one of my favourite drawings I've done this year I think, it's the entrance to the underworld as described in the book but the composition on it makes me happy 😭😍

[adelesianart]

Whoever said drawing in books was a bad thing 😇😇😇

I'm having a wonderful time 'adding to' my copy of 'My Name is Mina', a personal favourite from my childhood, and will be aiming to post one drawing I've done in this book every day this week!!

Wish me luck, never tried anything like this before!

[8bitnatsuki-deactivated20200525]

don’t go for realism in your art if it frustrates you, get weird, get blocky, get wiggly, just try and draw what makes you happy, not something that meets a standard

[adelesianart]

Most people drawing: it's okay if I don't get things /perfect/, as long as the essence of it is right then it'll come across, I don't need to stress about the little details so much!

Me, feral, drawing: if I don't get the details on this jammie dodger Exactly Fucking Right then I'm a FRAUD

Me: wow I did so well today I went to uni and made time for some commission work

Me: I know, I'll reward myself by staying up past midnight drawing

[adelesianart]

No time for a full portrait this week (first week back at uni got me 🤪😅) but here's a little gif of some doodles from my journal

I drew @strange-aeons 👌✨

This one was quite nice to draw tbh, the lighting was a lil hard to get down but I think I did okay in the end??

Plus I couldn't not include The Boi in some way
