Hey all, and happy new Year's Eve. Thanks for being patient in 2025. I have carpal tunnel in both hands, golfers elbow and cubital tunnel, and just some weird health shit in general. Thanks for sticking it out with me despite not a lot of art stuff

Classes 8 and 7 (left to right). 7 was a test piece for 8, where I planned out a lot more and used masking fluid.

Sometimes I feel my art improvement is so stagnant. Then I redraw something from years ago. It still feels so slow. I'm tired all the time. My hands hurt. But I'm improving, and I need to remember that

Little things to know for artists just now coming to (or returning to) tumblr:

Remember that “liking” a post doesn’t add it to anybody else’s dash or spread it around; only reblogs do that!

Even if you have no followers, your art will be seen if you tag it appropriately. #art #original #oc are common basic ones but you should also tag any relevant themes and content like #animals #horror #fantasy #mermaids and so on. People following or checking those tags will see them!

Unlike tiktok, instagram and twitter it is considered normal (and should be) to interact with posts no matter how old they are. There’s no expiration on reblogging or commenting, including re-reblogging your own posts or adding new thoughts to them.

They only added this in recent years, but you can click on your own post in your dash to see all the comments and tags.

Tumblr is the only social media I know of where a lot of people routinely use the tag field to add personal thoughts and opinions, so don’t miss out on that as another source of feedback and commentary on your work!

Unconstructive negativity or unsolicited criticism is much rarer and more frowned upon here, so the likelihood of a comment that really amounts to just “this sucks” is a lot lower. People who do that just get ripped to shreds, really.
