Buying your S/O a cheaper/more neutral promise/engagement ring that is different from their wedding ring needs to be more common. So much drama could be avoided if people proposed with a plain band and let their S/O choose the ring they want to wear for the rest of their life.
Designing one rn
I hate when people who are good at drawing say that it only takes practice. IāVE BEEN AT THIS SINCE I WAS 3!
It doesnāt just take practice, it takes studying. A lot of it.
Forcing yourself to sit the fuck down and draw the same stupid fucking stack of books over and over and over again until you understand how the shapes fit together. Hours of perspective with rulers and lines until you literally train yourself to automatically recognize when something looks wrong. Redrawing that fucking skeleton hand until you can do it, and then you add muscle and then you add skin and then you cry because all youāve done for a fucking week is draw a HAND
You donāt get better at art just by going at it blindly, the people who do art professionally, who have gone to art school and can pull something out of their ass, or have done the equipment to art school in personal studies have literally devoted themselves to their craft the same way a doctor devotes himself to learning medicine
If you want that level of skill you have force yourself through the boring basics, not all at once, but little by little. And once youāve reached somewhere that youāre happy with your art you do it all over again with a new study and you hate every step of learning but then you get to draw whatever you want and it pays off in the long run
Thereās too many places to start with art and you have to pick one and just sit down and learn. Watch tutorials, follow Bob Ross, etc etc. read about art if you have to, everyoneās learning style is different but no one is just magically āgood at artā. It doesnāt happen overnight, but it *can* happen over months if you do it every day.
Think of it as practice then youāll suck /blunt
Practice drawing is infantilizing your potential when you can challenge yourself into trying new shit until you āfeel goodā about your progress. Challenging yourself into drawing better is way better to put it. Also thereās importance in critique and openness to criticism, thatās where youāll learn, but you gotta ask the right people for it (your trusty friend circle for starters maybe? Or an art teacher if you know someone).
This also made me realize you donāt have to draw frequently (I did this for the past 13 years and now I retired from burnout /nav). This is why we draw to express, to document, and to archive. Figure artists, draw what you see. For abstract artists, draw what you feel! Donāt you dare fucking lift the pencil up until youāre satisfied. Mistakes are merely unexpected opportunities and redirections. Yep! Iām giving you a challenge to draw something without using an eraser :D
Also time is irrelevant here, itās a hard reality kicker to me when my senior colleagues around their 40ās just started on art last year and now showing up at exhibitions. And Iām 22 and stuck in art school and retired from professional work just this January QwQ. Regardless, itās important to take breaks but donāt stop. Cuz drawing your precious moments is much more poetic than taking pictures
I get the same advice too:
ājust practiceā,
ālove what you doā,
FUCK THEM!!! Theyāre partially right but we need actual artistic critique who can pinpoint the smallest corrections and observations. But that critic will mostly be you.
Takeaway: Challenging yourself sounds better than practicing yourself. Critique and openness to constructive criticism is one of the relevant ways to improve. Time is irrelevant to skill improvement. Unexpected opportunities and redirections are a good way to challenge yourself and your inner artistry.
a talking point i often see when defending the consumption of dark content is that itās a coping mechanism for those with trauma which is very valid and true but i also want to make this abundantly clear: you can like dark content for no reason. you can enjoy fucked up shit in fiction because itās enjoyable and entertaining. trauma is not required as a ticket for entry. enjoy your dark content bc itās fun and sexy and donāt let anyone take that away from you
sometimes the reason is this
reblog if you love to see that shit that was fucking crazy
