Hey there! You've found my art blog. This is mostly Artfight posts currently, but I'm trying to get back to posting other pieces as well.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
[sharp intake of breath] okay. okay I need to talk about this sign I saw in a bathroom yesterday. why the FUCK is it written like people not having access to electricity can be solved by switching off a light? do they think The Grid goes everywhere on Earth but our toilets get first dibs for some reason? did they read about matter-energy equivalence and think that means you can fucking transmute unused electricity into copper wires? how do. how do they think anything works. HOW DOES ME SWITCHING OFF A LIGHT BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE.
also, the light in this bathroom is on a motion sensor, with no switch.
@chickenonabicycle holy cow
I dunno, stop apologizing for your art. This includes not posting enough, too much, changing style, inconsistent style, repetition, subject. Its your art its your expression. Have fun.
Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.
in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD
instead ask:
is it SINCERE
was it CATHARTIC
was it FUN TO MAKE
is it MADE BY ME
and don't forget to stay silly
btw if you're bored as an artist you should try learning to draw fat and skin folds, it genuinely is really fun once you get into it.
obligatory link to morpho fat and skin folds to help you get started
btw i framed it as "fun to do" because it actually is fun to do and i think telling people theyre a bad person unless they do something well is generally a bad motivator that tends to make people give up at the first sign of imperfection.
Y'all know about Rob Liefeld?
He's a very famous comic artist, most known for his artwork on Marvel properties like Deadpool and X-Men. He's also known for being REALLY bad at drawing feet.
I've been trying to write a graphic novel since high school. For a long time, I was really discouraged because my art skills were way behind most of my peers. If anything, I've felt that more since going to college and taking proper art classes. I started drawing a lot later than most of my classmates, and seeing my work side-by-side with theirs isn't always easy.
Anyways. I've been working on this graphic novel, and trying to draw it. And at some point when i was starting, I decided to just kind of not draw hands. Like I'm not hiding them necessarily, that'd be crazy difficult, but they're usually just a round shape at the end of the arm with a thumb if it's appropriate.
It feels a little weird, if I look at it too long. But if Rob Liefeld can suck at feet and still make it in this world, then maybe I don't have to worry about the way my hands look.
I'm still drawing. That's what matters in the end.

archiving this intro card before I update my pinned post <3
draw it bad and draw it weird and draw it catered only to yourself and draw it wobbly and draw it too small and draw it with the default brush and draw it without using references and draw it and leave it unfinished and draw it for the first time and draw it
Art is a sport
One common thing I see among artists who are just starting out is that they are very precious about their work -- ironically, way moreso than experienced artists. They need to get every line JUST right, because in their mind, getting that line just right is what stands between the piece being bad and it being good. I was like that too, for so long that I'm still struggling to catch up because of how it hampered my progress.
Being precious about every line is kind of like a track sprinter starting a run, but then restarting every time their foot lands in any slightly suboptimal way. This is comes off as silly, because we know that the "unit" of what they are doing is a sprint, and that they would make their greatest progress by finishing the full sprints, because that's how they train.
Well, similarly, the "unit" of art is a finished piece. What stands between the sprinter and the time they want isn't 1 individual step, but 1000 sprints. What stands between the beginner artist and making art they like the look of isn't that 1 line, but, i'm sorry to say, 1000 pieces.
Taking note of any mistakes you made afterwards is something done by both the experienced artist and experienced sprinter -- this is healthy and helps you improve. But you can do that later, after you're done.
That line is good enough.
