please god watch this right now
The editing of this video is hysterical and genius- they switch between so many editing styles to reflect exactly what kind of thing they're going for in each segment its GREAT.
what’s the rush?
You don't NEED to be a super good realism artist. Sure that fits for a lot of artists, but many are also good at simplicity and even scribbles, making charming works that are eye-catching to a lot of people!
Example, these separate artists are on the same level of GOOD to me, mainly because though they're Clearly different styles, they work for what they DO, and both still take a LOT practice and understanding of color, shape, silhouette, and building/animal studies.
Talent has nothing to do with it, it's a constant drive to keep drawing, and failed pictures WILL happen. Don't give up. Take breaks, watch/read what inspires you and. Keep. Going!
Another hurdle to jump is what to study and what YOU want to do.
"But Winslow! Do I REALLY need to study th-" Yes. If you wanna be a concept artist/book illustrator/graphic designer/animator, there's no skipping your studies. What makes this logo for this business work? What makes this concept art work more than the others? What makes this animation good? You need to learn that yourself. Yes, it can become tedious, but as someone who did a few cow sketches, I can assure you those cows came out really weird until I actually looked at photos of real cows. NOT other illustrations of cows. Real. Cows.
And accepting criticism/tips is a must, too. Sure, it can hurt the confidence a little, but that's what's needed to get better! Ask around! If going professional, ask fellow artists in your field! Maybe that super cool artist you follow can help (If they're not busy and are willing to). If you can afford it, maybe try a mentor! I had one and he REALLY helped my works, saying I had strong and gorgeous shapes, but I lacked the storytelling for what I was aiming for (at the time, as I wanna do More than kids books now). With his help, I produced more pieces that told a story happening on the canvas than just an animal doing a pose.
Of course, that's for me. If you wanna work as a sc-fi concept artist, for example, you will have to study sci-fi artists and scientific stuff. And that's really tough, as it will get technical. Or maybe you wanna make a culture for world building! Maybe study real cultures from different areas of the world for inspiration! Have you seen the clothing? Incredible. Point is, fiction requires real world studies, from designing clothes to creatures. Practice, practice, practice. Study, Study, LEARN.

Finally had some time to draw, so I wanted to draw Jules. I also wanted to draw original Jules because oversized gloves are one of my favorite aesthetics. ⚙️
Gonna try for smaller commissions as I DO need the money.
50 USD base price, added 15 per extra character. All done on Procreate.
YE: furries, ocs, monsters, VERY SIMPLIFIED MECHS, nudity, gore, body horror
NOP: sexual content
dental bill high, now orion my cockatiel may have hurt his foot
oh boy boost if ya can!
it's never too late to start drawing again. even if your drawings aren't technically skilled at all, it's always okay to become an artist again. your art has worth, regardless of skill or execution.

Celebratory piece to celebrate my 5 years of being a part of the community. I got heavily inspired by a song I haven't heard in years to whip this piece up as well.
how it feels to be obsessed with your own ocs but you cant think of what to say about them
man, fuck the gop. fuck transphobia, fuck fascism, i'm so tired
Kansas is set to invalidate about 1,700 driver's licenses held by transgender residents and roughly as many of their birth certificates.
Kansas has sent a letter to each of their trans residents saying they are suspending their drivers licenses, effective today (February 26th), with no grace period for updating credentials. It directs trans people to go to a DMV to surrender their old license and be issued a new one that shows their sex as the one assigned at birth. (Though they can’t drive themselves to the DMV because, y’know, their drivers licenses are suspended.)
Text of the full letter available here.
They are doing this the extra cruel way on purpose. If they knew which people to send this letter to, then they could have just as easily just automatically mailed them replacement licenses. But forcing them to make arrangements to travel to a DMV, present themselves in person (to be potentially humiliated/deadnamed by the DMV employees to their faces), and to be unable to drive themselves to their work/school in the interim, are all just ways of making this process even harder. And because there’s a National Driver Register database that lists individual drivers’ status and history information, it’s not necessarily even as simple as just moving to a different state and get a new license issued there, because it will presumably show their previous license as being suspended.
Someone has been comparing this to the day in 1938 when the German government invalidated all German passports held by Jewish people, forcing them to surrender their old passports and instead have passports stamped with a “J” for Jewish on them.
For trans people, carrying an ID that misgenders them opens them to intrusive questions, harassment, and even violence.
There’s a nonprofit in Colorado, the Trans Continental Pipeline, that helps queer people relocate from unaccepting/unsafe states to Colorado. Colorado shares a border with Kansas, and is the closest blue state. Apparently they are getting overwhelmed with requests. If you have spare money to donate, now seems like a good time. If you’re in Colorado and have time to volunteer, their volunteer form is here.
