LOUDER

I think the mentality of "why bother doing something if you're not good at it?" feeds directly into "if you're good at it why aren't you monetizing it?". At its core I really think its about commodifying every last shred of labor and experience.

Adding that this is literally a huge reason we don’t leave unsolicited criticism on things like fanworks- fanfiction, fanart, fan crafts etc. Because there’s a LOT of people out there who are just doing this for the fun of it. They’re doing it for the same reason people go on walks- to feel good. And receiving crit they didn’t ask for doesn’t feel good.

This is actually such an amazingly motivational post because it explains visually exactly what art block is. Do you know what art block is?

Art block is that moment when you realise your skills could be so much more then they currently are. It frustrates you to draw because you can finally see your drawings differently. You can see where they can be better and you want them to be better. It’s not a matter of “I can’t draw today”, it’s a matter of “I imagined this would turn out so much better” and “there’s something missing, I just know it. What technique did I miss.” You’ve got past that temporary phase of analysing and researching and now you’re able to incorporate it in your own work, you just need to figure out how, and when you get past that art block. Well, you’ll see the improvement before you know it. Slowly, but it’s there. And once you get comfortable with using those new skills you’ll move on and start analysing again, and you’ll see where you can improve.

Stay experimental and open to learn, it’s the quickest way to get over art block.

I think people should be free to make garbage games for fun.

Like garbage content in general. sometimes you just gotta crank out some bad art and dumb stuff every once in a while. Turn off your inner critic a bit and make some hot garbage as a treat to you.

I dont understand this so common obsession with “finding one’s own art style” and seeing inconsistent art style as a bad thing. When I see an artist whose art style varies from piece to piece I feel impressed, it’s really cool, I don’t understand why having One art style is seen as the only one true path of a Good Artist

“I wanna draw realistic but also cartoony but also with sharp shapes but also with round shapes, aaaagh I cant choose!!” You can do all yknow. It is allowed. Practicing all kinds of different things is actually pretty good

important writing reminder: do NOT force yourself to write when you're exhausted and/or feel yourself criticizing every single thing you've previously written.

forcing yourself to write when you think everything you're writing is garbage, is not going to do you any favors. take a break and get back to it later.

Like any and all writing advice, this is deeply subjective. If I didn't force myself to write if I think everything I write is shit, I'd never finish anything, because there's always a point in every fic where I'm sure that the entire thing is a steaming pile of garbage, but I know I can fix it in rewrite if I can just ignore this feeling.

I like my art style a lot :) reblog this if you also like your art style a lot or if you aren't there yet but are trying to grow your confidence in it (this post has a spell on it that will grant you +1 confidence every time you read the whole thing)

Alright, this blog isn’t too popular, not in any sense— but I do wanna advertise a little project real quick. And I’m hoping some louder voices in this community will give us a shout-out so we can get a little attention.

@nomorals-kinhelp

Me and my love are currently starting up a blog for moodboards, stimboards, playlists, kin positivity and comfort, and all other such “kin help” things! That while you don’t need to be kin to request certain stuff, we are targeting a specific demographic so to speak. The anti anti / pro ship community!

Cuz I noticed while going down the road finding kin help blogs to do some requesting myself, that a good majority were antis! So I figured: the best way to get something in a community is to make it yourself, if ya have the means to do so.
