i love the part of making art where you feel like you need to go missing

[periodicallypurple]

Thought this might help others who struggle when writing. I know I get in my head too much.

[murderofsomeone]

I need to make something really elaborate and cool (doesn't move

[damazcuz]

NEVER flip your canvas. That's valuable time you could be using to draw everything at a slant.

[i-am-a-fish]

hey um. can you please work on that art thing you wanted to make. please

[sparrowlucero]

not naming names but i hate this character design trope

[sakrafka]

Oh my god I'm so glad someone finally mentioned this because I've always HATED this thrope ever since I was a KID!!! Because why is it always the COOLEST LOOKING characters that are the "enemies" and it's always the lamest fucking baby-faced creature that the MC is making friends with,,,

i am working on a tumblr post that has the potential to get 2 or even 3 notes

"I cant draw" then do it bad who gives a fuck.....

[jonahmagnus]

Partake in the joy of creation just for the fun of it. Just for a laff.

btw with art when people say 'youve got to do it scared' 'youve got to draw bad' 'youre not gonna know how to do it until you do it' it sounds like bullshit but its true. 90% of art is just getting over the fear that it's not going to be good enough to deserve to be made in the first place. but you're here. you're alive and, with no need to justify that, you're going to make art. it's just part of being alive. you'll spend so long worrying you aren't doing it good enough that you'll look back and realized you didn't live a single day of it.

"i wanna get better at drawing [body part] but i dont want people to think i have a fetish" stop worrying. youre an artist. everyone already knows youre a pervert of some kind.

im not even joking rn this fucking painting made me start uncontrollably sobbing. Do you know how long it took to paint? How expensive it was? The cat was content for hours and so loved that the girl held him there and paid for him to be painted with her. Imagine having such a bond… imagine being so loved and loving so much back…

[comradeyaoi]

Apparently this is almost a genre of painting. Its human nature to love and cradle cats …. And the bond these cats and their people have. To sit together for hours to get a painting to attempt to immortalize the love you two shared

[die-rosastrasse]

Let me show you these charming paintings by a French artist Léon Comerre! I like to think these ladies were like "me and my kitty look so cute together, we must get a portrait made of us so that everyone knows how we love each other" 💕

(Also, having matching ribbons with your cat is the loveliest idea ever 🎀)

Meanwhile, I'm a fan of this Gainsborough, where, if you squint, you can see the outline of a furious cat who was not about to be in this portrait:

btw I’ve found these stretches from the WAK blog very helpful when knitting a lot:

Plus make sure to take breaks regularly - and stop if anything starts to hurt!

especially with gift knitting I know it can be tempting to push through it for a deadline, but it’s really not worth causing long term injury. (And anyone knit-worthy should be understanding of that, imho.) Stay well :)

[gingersnappish]

Also good for artists drawing with pencils/on a tablet/with a pen!

[xx-skullheartz-xx]

babygirl your design is so complicated and hard to draw

[annabelle--cane]

"tumblr doesn't have an algorithm so likes are WORTHLESS they do NOTHING" well actually likes tell me that people liked my post. they have worth because they show me people saw my post and enjoyed it. that's still interaction even if it doesn't give an extra boost to make Number Go Up even more. yeah I generally get more out of written feedback in tags/replies but likes are still Something, they aren't people telling me "fuck you I'm not sharing your post" they're people telling me "hehe I give your post little a like as a treat."
