Sometimes I worry small art blogs I follow think I'm a stalker for liking and reblogging their art regularly, even when they're not posting anything, but I really just like their art and don't know how else to give encouragement so they don't stop trying and sharing their work.

I'm bad at colouring things. Especially when it comes to a pictures drawn by hand - with markers, pencils, whatever else... And I know - "WHAT? No, you're good."\"Oh look who's trash talking himself to get a compliment, ugh..." No. That's not it. The point is - I'm never satisfied complitely, with HOW pictures turn out. (Not only when it comes to hand drawn stuff, but a PC made pictures too...) Usually I make some mistake - like picking a colour which I won't like afterward, when it's all done (you can't Ctrl+Z your way out of this one, son, U can not. It's permanent. (haaahaaa... like markers... uuuuhhhhhh)). So, I used to say that I'm bad at colouring stuff. It's not the "Ugu i'm bad, tell me the opposite of what I say, pls *sadface*". It's "Yeeeah, I'm making mistakes, and I seem to not like what I do. It doesn't turn out as I want it to be, so it's bad (or just "meh")." And lately I wasn't feeling like that, about the way I colour things. In my sketchbook, or on my laptop in SAI. I draw, and I LIKE what I drew... Like, I look at it, and it's pleasant to see. Sometimes I'm at awe, because it suddenly hits me - THIS THING, RIGHT HERE... I DID IT. I did. I made it out of a blank paper and painting sticks. And it came out of my brain. I MADE IT. WITH MY BRAIN. Out of mostly NOTHING.

BOOM. *head explosion*

This was our little bit of the world at the AMAZING @the_prosthetics_event on Saturday, and this week I'll be sharing pictures each day of some of the amazing work we saw, and some of the brilliant people we spoke with. A MASSIVE thanks to Thiago and the whole team who did a brilliant job, and thanks so so much for having us!!! #tpe2022 #theprostheticsevent #sfx #makeup #atrists #sculptor #bodyart #prostheticmakeup #mua #siliconemask #mindmagicstudios https://www.instagram.com/p/ClOE6tZKYf4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you're an artist or on art TikTok, you may have seen those videos of that person saying "Painting someone on the subway" and there's loads of people saying "tHiS iS oBvIoUsLY FaKE" and you're right. But it's difficult to be noticed by a large sum of people as an artist, people don't appreciate the time and effort it takes to do a piece that they would deem as 'simple' yet this person has found a way for people to appreciate how good their art is because they can do it "in such a short span of time." Thus getting themselves noticed so much that I have seen the same video of the same person and their art on my Instagram feed about 6 times.

So yeah it may be fake of how they've presented their artwork, but it's still fucking amazing and people can see that. So stop fucking shaming this person by saying how long it's taken is fake when you can just APPRECIATE THE ART.

I love this beautifully written, brave, and honest post by #kidlit and #YAlit author @bevkatzauthoreditor on art and fear. I think fear and self-doubt is universal for most of us writers and artists, and it's good to know we're not alone.
