the sight of the stars makes me dream @fragmentedart - Tumblr Blog

Same but also with people in their 20s or 30s+ who just discovered drawing as a hobby and are also basically beginners

To all my followers who are learning to draw, regardless of your age…

Don’t give up. Don’t let those haters and trolls get you down. Your style is beautiful. Just keep going. You’re doing amazing, sweeties.

it makes me sad beginner artists these days dont have a big art-focused site like deviantart to get started with anymore. you can imagine the edgy manga-inspired pencil on paper ocs i was drawing and posting on dA 15 years ago and i still got comments and encouragement and nice words from fellow artists and art enjoyers alike that i still think about sometimes. now its all corporate social media. now i can post to my 15k instagram account that i've been using for years and get zero comments. and what do the beginners get? stricter guidelines? intrusive numbers/impressions/insights? the only way to get eyes on your art is to post reels? or hop onto the latest fanart trend as fast as possible lest you be left behind? get real

if you've been drawing for several hours and the piece doesn't turn into anything, you didn't waste that time. you still drew. art is art, not a product

opens box that reads "i wanna draw again". inside lies a note. the note says, "mental illness and difficult circumstances have taken years of interest, accessibility, and skill away from me. i want to forgive myself for that. i want to heal my relationship to my hobbies. i want to feel connected to something that once made me feel good, but the cyclic discouragement is difficult to overcome." i turn over the note. on the back it reads "wannta drawe sexy bodies awooga"

seems like this one really resonated with the artists who dont do art fandom

Happy Inktober 🖤✨️

painting made easier

[Audio Transcript:

Do you want to paint but pain, disability, limited range of motion or tremors are getting in the way of that?

It’s world watercolor month and disability pride month, so let’s combine the two and talk about ways that you can watercolor and make it a little easier on yourself.

First up, if you struggle with grip issues, some manufacturers like Blick will actually make some of their brushes with egg shaped handles.

These are typically easier to hold, but they do come in a limited range of options so you can get something like one of these egg shaped pencil holders that will do more or less the same thing. These are just a bit easier to hold and they can reduce hand fatigue.

Next up, if you struggle with something like tremors or shaking, weight is your friend. There are universal weighted handles that you can slip onto the end and tighten on your brush or whatever you’re using as long as it fits in, and it adds a bunch of weight to the back end of it so it reduces the amount of shaking that’s possible.

If you struggle with grip strength or need something to help you hold onto something, this is an easy ring writer clip, and you can slot your brush into it and even if you’re not gripping it tightly it’s still secured to your hand.

Another option is something like this, this is an easy grip. It’s a silicone attachment that you can place on that give you an extra handle and extra security for holding your brushes and other art tools.

And finally one of my favorite tools is this artist leaning bridge. Mine is an acrylic piece of plastic that just sits over the top and allows you to rest on top while you can paint underneath it.
