You're the artist. You're the creator. Stop pretending to be anything less because you're afraid of what you could be. You're ready.

Drawing horny magical ladies until y'all believe you're also magical

Don't get caught up in criticizing your work so much that you miss where you've improved.

Soft on the outside but dangerous on the inside 🌹

Stop berating yourself for not drawing and instead start asking, "Why is it hard to show up for my art right now?" You start to realize sustainability depends on meeting your own needs FIRST instead of forcing endless drawing because the internet said it's the only way.

Let the world see your art. Let the world see your art. Let the world see your art. Let the world see your art. Let the world see your art. Let the world see your art. Let the world see your art. Let the world see your art. Let the world see your art.

The devil is in the details 💜 WIP

People don't want to see the greatest of great art. They want to see people like them, making art.

Every artist internally screaming when they see another AI post

Convention prep earlier this year feels like forever ago. Has time been weird for anyone else??

Instead of only focusing on making a good drawing, try these other intentions and see how they change your experience: - listen to your pen scratches - notice tension in your hand - watch your pen tip leave marks - draw slower - draw faster - try a new medium

You've been granted art skills at max level. You have your favorite mediums. Time is infinite. What do you draw?

He's got something to say.

Pro tip: use your sketchbook as a place to scribble ideas that you can then refine digitally later

No one is judging your art harder than you are.
