โ€œThis is really upsetting, is it real or is there more context?โ€ is a thing I try to ask myself every time I get that rush of adrenaline that wants to send me into a tailspin. A lot of times itโ€™s real! But sometimes itโ€™s not! I wanna save my tailspin for the stuff thatโ€™s real LOL

Honestly, โ€œitโ€™s unprofessional for an artist to post personal art while doing commissionsโ€ is a horrible thing to say. Just because someone does something for money doesnโ€™t foreclose their right to do it for their own happiness, and share the results. Youโ€™re an entitled jerk if you object to that.

โ€œItโ€™s unprofessional for an artist to post personal art while doing commissionsโ€ Sometimes we need a break in between commissions by drawing stuff for ourselves so we donโ€™t lose momentum. It might take a while to. It not unprofessional it just warm ups to keep from having art block.

A thing no one tells you about starting exercising is that it sucks for the first few weeks/months. It's hard, your body aches, it's boring. But once I got over the hump it started to feel good. I noticed clarity of thought, and strength. I've never felt a runner's high, but it's close I think

One of the things I learn again and again being an artist in creative spaces is that it isn't about who has the best *ideas* or *ability*, it's all about who actually is able to pull through and make the thing. Even if someone else *could* make it better. Even if someone else had the *idea* first. ๐Ÿงต

something iโ€™ve learned in fandom spaces is you gotta have a moment of going โ€œoh my god who the hell caresโ€ and not worry about stuff that isnโ€™t like, someone being nasty and bigoted. 90% of the time itโ€™s not worth it.

Make more art. I donโ€™t care if you think itโ€™s bad. I donโ€™t care if youโ€™ve been drawing for 20 years or 20 minutes. I donโ€™t care if you choose to share it or keep it to yourself. I donโ€™t even care if itโ€™s literally just scribbling on paper in anger. Just make art. Donโ€™t let anything stop you.

also I wanted to make clear that when I say warm-ups, I mean something like this, NOT like, an actual sketch or anything of value. Your actual muscles get stiff and it just takes drawing some random shapes for 5 minutes to warm them up. Trust me, it helps a lot!!!

Dear artists, this is a PSA! If you haven't drawn for a week or longer, definitely DO NOT skip your warmups, or you will spend an hour tearing your hair out wondering why everything looks like shit! Ask me how I know!!!
