how do you stay motivated to draw? art is one of my favorite hobbies but my perfectionism gets in the way of me doing it SO much !! i just want to be able to draw whatever makes me feel happy but my brain won't let me draw anything it doesn't consider perfect T_T
I have phases like this where everything just feels so ugly and flawed and it makes me not want to pick up a pencil. Recently I came to the conclusion that finished is better than perfect, at least for most art forms.
Sometimes I see people's art and the critic in me goes "hmm they could have stronger knowledge of x. I don't like how they rendered y. But I still like this piece as a whole!" While I am over here picking apart my art and theirs, they are producing drawing after drawing! I am not! Because I have built these ridiculous standards for myself.
Just try to make something- anything. Finish it. Get to a point where someone can look at it and think it's done even if you feel like it isn't. Then do it again! I think it's important not to dwell on it for too long.
Literally just a few days ago I got so frustrated that I wasn't making anything finished that I decided I MUST make something simple ASAP. So I finished a drawing for the first time in a while. And I liked it !
That's just the thought process that works for me though
Hello! If it's okay to ask what brushes you use? They look so nice!
Thank you!
I usually use the default round brush for lines!
Block in colors with lasso or something like a G Pen nothin special
Soft airbrush for gradients, and star halftones for fun details, these r up in my kofi!
imagine joyride by Kesha. Okay now imagine it again. Thanks
Mischevious creatures I was building a while back
Style experimentation
sort of a random comment but have you heard of the charisma house audio dramas? i think youd enjoy it
Hello ! I have, I liked season 1 a lot ! I did not finish season 2 because I thought it was bad and not funny unfortunately. I did draw a little charisma house and posted here ! Thanks for reaching out !
I just wanted to say I've been a fan of yours since 2018 on Tumblr and moved from other sites over the years. You where one of the reasons I got super into cookie run and introduced me to other fandoms. I wanted to thank you for creating and being an inspiration!! Your colorful artworks are such a joy!!!
Thank you for sending this! I'm happy you've enjoyed my art for all this time. Thank you for being here

The art isn't all that great but what's actually embarrassing is the fact that I talked like this
