Starry Night

Pattern Time!

make something with your hands today. draw, bake, fold paper — whatever. creating something small will break whatever spiral you're in

So I come from a long (like since 2003) history of doing Artist Alleys, so I Know How To Get Stuff Made. This is both wonderful, and terrible.

I wanna make stickers for myself, but I'm still deciding on which colors. SO, y'all get to see the in-process version.

(There's watermarks and it's 72 dpi because I've had other designs stolen on the internet from me, from Tumblr even, sorry about that)

You Should Draw Again

Pretty much all children draw at some point, and then one way or another, most of us stop. I think a lot of us stop because we just got old enough to look around us and feel self conscious about not being one of the kids who was "good at art", or if you had a past like mine, for worse reasons. But whatever the reason, it's a bad reason.

And overcoming it will help. Maybe your art won't be very good (and it certainly won't be at first), but you'll get practice in one of the most important things you can do: rebelling against the lie that you can't start what you're not already good at.
