So apparently the Tapastic tos are extremely shady and to be wary of. Content creators, keep yourselves and your ip safe.

life hack from art school: instead of saying you cant draw something or that you dont like something about your art, just say the element “wasn’t working”

had to change a pose because it was too difficult to draw? it “didn’t work” compositionally!

feel like something is off about the background? it doesn’t suck, it’s just not working for the piece!

art is all about finding ways to convey an idea or emotion in a VERY subjective way, so thinking about it in terms of “working/not working for this piece” instead of “good/bad” is very helpful for me personally. it’s a small step you can take towards having a healthy outlook on your work!

[wzysabel]

Whenever I draw something and I don’t like how it comes out, instead of telling myself that it’s bad because “I’m a bad artist”, I tell myself that it’s simply boring in terms of colours or composition and that’s why I don’t like it. This made me a lot less self-conscious.

[kiwi]

that’s a very good point!! being able to identify WHAT exactly in the piece bothers you can cut down on a lot of that self loathing

i dont see a lot of people talking about how to healthily self-critique, which is a really important thing for artists to learn (considering we’re all so incredibly critical of our own work)

ask yourself first what IS working. what elements do you want to keep? do you need to keep working on this piece that’s frustrating you, or can you incorporate that part you really like into a different setting?

then move on to what ISN’T working. find references for things you’re not sure how to draw! learn how to let go of the things that just won’t work no matter how many times you try them. sometimes an idea for a drawing is really cool, but the execution won’t match what you’re imagining. (not even sometimes, but a LOT of times.)

check all of the principles of design in your piece– this infographic is really helpful. go down the list and ask yourself which principles are present in your piece, and if closer attention to any of them could make your piece start working.

finally, STEP AWAY from your work for a long time! come back to it the next day!! the longer i give myself to take a break from it, the better i can look at it objectively.

Y’all this is a great video to study to observe the body language of a very happy but also very excited cat.  Lots of people see videos of excited cats doing things like climb rock climbing walls or get on small boats and think they are angry or scared, when they aren’t.  Here’s a good example of happy excitement and tension in a cat where the cat’s pleasure is easy to see.  The cat’s tail is lashing and its ears are going backward and forward like crazy, but the cat is not angry, it is merely off its shits because snow is just incredible.  This is a wildly playful cat which might play-attack a hand or other animal because it is so excited, but not out of anger.  Note the zoomies at the end to burn off some of that energy!

Think about it. When we humans do something fun and very physical, our bodies are often tense, at the ready, and a lot of our body language does look kind of aggressive or even scared. Cats are the same!  Animals at play or investigating new things often show some tension, but tension is not the same as anger or fear!

Met an old teacher today and we got talking about ‘the good old times’ and ten minutes into the conversation I jokingly said the one regret I have from middle school is that I never won anything at her magnificent tombolas? Because, like, she used to hold this game about once a month so we’d learn the numbers in French and it was never big prizes, but as a 12-yo I desperately craved them - a cactus-shaped eraser, a bright blue notebook with slightly larger-than-usual squares, a set of coloured pens - and never ever got a single one of them. 

(Actually spent a good few months thinking I was genetically unlucky and researching ancient family curses with my grandma.) 

So today I don’t know what I was hoping for - nothing, really?

(I mean, that part of me that’s still twelve was probably expecting this sweet old woman to have a set of glitter stickers in her purse and just go ‘You know what, you’re right - I’ve been saving this one for you all these years, here you go’ but I’m a solidly rational person and I know that’s stupid.)

No, I thought we’d just laugh and it would be a good shared memory and that would be it. Instead, my teacher got flustered and a bit embarrassed and explained the game was rigged. It was never about learning French at all. She’d just noticed some kids couldn’t afford even basic stationery, so she’d buy a few half-fancy items every month with her own money just for them. She didn’t want them to feel different or left out. And obviously the way she used to walk around in the classroom, looking over our shoulders - it wasn’t to prevent cheating. It was because she was cheating herself, wanting to see which number a particular child needed to get a Minnie Mouse pencil case.

Guys - the world is fucked up, but so many people out there are just good and kind and humbly heroic it honestly gives me hope. 

It’ll be alright, you’ll see.

election day should be a few days even before that, just to be safe. Never assume your deadlines are to the day.

[teratocybernetics]

I’ve seen mentioned that you should be able to drop off a mail-in ballot at a voting site if the mail system is further ruined by then than it already is. it’s a good thing to look into because while it’s not as safe as mailing, it can still cut down on time spent in public and around vectors if you’re not standing in line or dealing with the machines everyone has already touched.

For the primary election, Maryland had drop boxes at the board of elections offices. There was very little publication about it, so check directly on your local board of elections website for more information.
