I don't know who needs to hear this but as a not so gentle reminder actual artists aren't wholly dependent upon their tools. If you took away my pen and tablet I could still create art with traditional mediums, happily even. Part of the joy of art is simply learning.

I don't know why us adults have to keep defending and justifying our continuation of playing certain video games, watching certain cartoons, watching animated movies. Growing up to be adults doesn't mean we lose our whimsy or imagination. We just choose not to be boring.

Art tip: don't share everything you draw. Draw things you never intend to show anyone. Your brain needs time to just exist in a state that's not about performing for strangers. This used to be the normal way to exist before social media poisoned us.
