to other mentally ill artists who are obsessed with getting better
- Finished Pieces TM are NOT the only works that matter. That half-lined sketch is good. That page of nothing but shapes and doodles is progress. If youâre doing whatever it is that you CAN do that day, youâre doing well
- take. BREAKS. as often as you need to. stop when you gotta. if you try to dig into tomorrowâs spoons to finish something, trust me, youâre going to hate yourself and whatever youâre working on later
- if you really want to, you CAN draw (or paint, or sculpt, or craft etc.) every day
- everything counts. everything. canât draw for more than 20 minutes today? you drew. less than 5? you drew. take a pencil and draw three different circles on a sticky note. you drew. lay out your arm and trace whatever comes to mind with you finger. everything counts.
- if you drew SOMETHING today, you gained more experience than someone who did not
- donât get so wrapped up in something that you forget to eat, drink water or sleep please. if you canât make yourself care about what it does to your body, remember it WILL affect your productivity, which will lead to Bad Times, again, trust me
- you are SOMEONEâS art goals
- âthis person doesnât know me or my art, how do they know itâs good-â shh. doesnât matter. its good
