In true #inktober fashion, I'm already terribly behind It's ok tho, just participating is already getting me to draw more than I have in months and I'm enjoying it so far 😌 I still plan on drawing all prompts, even if i can't fit them all into October. We'll see how things go! Day 2 using @mhaering_ 's prompt list

What's this madness, my face on insta outside of my stories? Unheard of. I've seen people do #ootd drawings and I've really wanted to do one for the longest time but hate taking pictures of myself almost as much as I hate posting them online, so I never did. But eeeeh fuck it, why not. This was fun to do though! Maybe I'll make this a semi regular thing? Probably not? Idk we'll see.

Really wanted to get in on the #DrawThisInYourStyle crazy over on instagram and @dreachieart’s character’s so cute, I had to! Gosh, this art meme is so much fun! Def will do a few more soon.

I drew this piece while streaming over on twitch.tv/aerenys where I’ve been streaming multiple times a week for a little while now. Def come hang out some time if you wanna see me draw or are in for a chat!

How to help your artists - The circle of influence.

So over the past 10-15 years, as I’ve been trying to branch out, grow a following and sell commissions, there’s one phrase I’ve heard more than any other.

“I’d love to support you, but I have no money.”

And you know, I get that. I understand. I don’t have any either. But here’s the secret. The most powerful and useful thing you can do to support an artist? It doesn’t cost a penny. Reblog their posts, signal boost their commissions, advertise their patreon./ If you have commissioned them, or do support their patreon? Write a review, tell your friends, share their links. Keep circulating the tapes.

Every post is an artist laying themselves bare before you. You have the power to make them into somebody. You can make them into a big name, you can help bring them an income. All you have to do is share.

Here’s a handy infographic.

If artists get only likes, they never get any exposure. They find no followers, they make no money, and feel worthless.

But with reblogs, who knows how far they could reach? New people could see their work and follow them, and maybe one person will spot that commissions post or patreon promo, and maybe offer to help support them. And it didn’t even cost those followers a penny to reblog the post.

So please, anyone out there. If you enjoy an artist’s work and can’t afford to give any monetary support, you can give them something more powerful. A voice.

And authors, too. Please reblog and share author commissions!

To use the first 200 reblogs of this post as an example: 

That orange dot is OP! Look at how far those first few reblogs spread this post!

Can I also add!!!!!!

This doesn’t work if you repost art.

Especially when you remove the credit, you break the web of connections. Only only only ever repost an artist’s context if you have ALREADY asked them and they have ALREADY given EXPLICIT permission

[aerenys]

Wow I really haven't posted anything here in a while, huh? Let's try and fix that. Painted this piece for @smileyscarf 's birthday roughly half a year ago 😊
