My dog made it so hard to leave, I always bring him with me when I travel but I opted to let him stay home this time. He was so distraught about me leaving. He is very old and doesn’t go up the stairs anymore without help, but he ran after me to follow me outside 💔

@AstralDergin Thank you so much!! That's so lovely to hear! 🥰

[Zarah @emberwing_]

I want to say thank you to everyone interacting with my art lately, it's been really uplifting being able to share my art again and getting back to what I love to do after a really hard year 🩷

Feeling travel jitters as I'm flying out to go on vacation tomorrow, doodled my dewwing Oriana to relax a bit. I'll likely finish her when I get back from vacay!

[Zarah @emberwing_]

@AbJaYoSTA Exactly the same situation that happened to me! I had lore ready for him too😔

A while ago I was invited to join some irl peeps in DnD. They asked me to design a dragon villain for the story, but they then used AI art instead... I may continue this sketch and make it an adopt or something... trying a sorta realistic style was fun at least!

Things Fellow Artists Have Shamed Me For:

- Using a stabilizer for lineart (I have tremors irl)
- Using a symmetry tool or drawing symmetrically.
- Using 3D models (PoseDolls) for reference and tracing.
- Being inspired by multiple art pieces and incorporating it into my style.
- Having a similar shade of a color in my OC to their OC.
- Using any references.
- Using armature wire or foil for structure, when I used to make small clay sculptures.
- Not drawing everything on one layer.
- "Red-lining" or "Redrawing" my pieces behind my back to improve them or just make fun of them.
- Working on big canvases 3000-5000px
- Using PaintToolSAI
- Having a fully opaque lineart brush
- Having super clean lines
- Using purple or blue shading to learn about color theory (spoiler alert, it helped)

This is just a fraction, but this new trend of all you amazing artists using the 3D reference literally proves all these mfs wrong. Like you can create HOWEVER you want, whichever way works for you. I have been discouraged before to continue my art journey due to my peers, but I literally refuse to let them win.

Art is about creation. You literally are capable of magic. Fuck people 💖

Anyone else feel like this sometimes? 😆
