Important reminder that an artist raising their prices isn't doing it with the goal of being "yet another unaffordable artist"
We're doing it to prevent/lessen this shit
Drawing 12+ hrs a day to be "affordable" can lead to some of us losing the ability to draw at all.
@georgjar You are right, it sucks, your feelings are valid and you are entitled to feel them. This mentality of saying you shouldn't be sad because others have it worse is like saying you shouldn't be happy because others have it better! Your experience is real and it's ok to sit with it.
I wish more art discourse focused on the giddy feelings of having tried something new or the excitement of having stayed consistent with practice or a personal goal.
So few talk about the sheer joy of creating work that’s not necessarily your best but is unabashedly made for you
The question I ask myself every time I draw on non-white paper…how the f am I gonna color this? In actuality I know how, I just don’t feel confident to soooooo into the eternal WIPs it goes! 😂🤷♀️ #tattoo#sketch
When I look at sketches like these, a habitual part of my brain goes “It looks good but wait til you ruin it when you add color” What this brain is really saying is that it’s time for some changes in how I make my art, keep your eyes peeled baby! 👀💦 #gothlolita#fashionart
Last year in December, I got the chance to be a part of a week-long #gamejam as the character animator. The game is a quick 2D puzzle platformer, called “Soul Fire” on https://t.co/9Zaioc1Pw0 Here’s several days of work in a tiny post. 🥲 1/4 #2danimation
You aren’t lazy. You are fearful of something. Of failure, criticism, affirming the ugly truth. The most important part of moving forward is to accept this is where you are now and to not let the ‘guilty you’ judge yourself for any progress you want to attempt.
I used Procreate because that’s what I’m familiar with. However here, layers act as frames, which doesn’t sound like it’d be a problem until you get to previewing, undoing/making changes, and exporting that things get tedious and unintuitive. Hope it gets better with time. 😬 4/4
Big inspos for our fire boi’s design is Dead Cells, basically a floating flame head, and Journey, chars with fluttering robes. I studied Hollow Knight’s running and jumping animations and used that as my base for how I’d translate that to our fire boi. 3/4
Part of a challenge between my friends and I dubbed: the Non-Dominant hand switch challenge! There’s a twist: we draw/reinterpret the ND drawing of someone else with our dominant hand in 1hr. We chose the theme of circus/clowns! 🤡
