I'm a fantasy artist/illustrator/writer. Working on my futuristic crime/heist/slice of life comic. I love bringing imaginations to life 💜

I work in traditional media: watercolor, gouache, ink, pencils, etc.

When learning from other artists, keep asking "what do I like about this?" instead of getting too rigid with your comparison.

Explore what you like. Leave the rest.

But on the bright side I like to use this as an argument against the “fan art is useless” crowd. We live in an age of social media for better or for worse so pour that passion into every art you do, someone’s bound to see and notice. That league of legends yuri will take you far

Replace your morning scroll with 30 minutes of doodling.

You'll feel less anxious, grow more confident in your art, and finally have time to create.

New habit, new artist.

[sʏʟᴇssᴀᴇ ♕ @sylessae]

If you're art blocked, don't keep trying the same thing.

Try a new medium.
Write about it.
Put it into a song.
Move your body.

You can't always fix a stuck perspective from inside the same one.

Forgive yourself:

For not creating when you want to.
For abandoning your creative self.
For judging your ideas.
For taking a break from art.
For all of it.

Forgive so you can make the choice to create anew.

"ChatGPT users had the lowest brain engagement and 'consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.' Over the course of several months, ChatGPT users got lazier with each subsequent essay, often resorting to copy-and-paste by the end of the study."

Instead of trying to make your art "better", try making it MORE.

More joyful.
More you.
More of what you love.

Skill grows, but joy is what keeps you coming back.

People think I'm kidding when I say there is a fascist agenda behind the promotion of AI. These devices are designed to kill literacy. We grew up in one of those rare periods of history where most people could read, and those who can read are harder to control.

The fact that they’re tracking autism and not the bird flu or covid automatically tells you they’re operating on eugenics and not actually wanting people to be healthy. They want you sick, disabled, or dead.

[sʏʟᴇssᴀᴇ ♕ @sylessae]

Get it out of your head so the haunting passion can become a beautiful expression. Make it real first, that’s the hardest part.
