I note saying that I believe that even if you think you have no artistic skill, I'd rather see your effort than your A.I.

Art is magic and magic can be learned. Sometimes the hardest part is getting started.
Make it exist first. You can make it A CHUBBY BIRB (or whatever) later. <3 🪶
Just make it exist first [blob drawing] you can make it a chubby bird later [blob is now cute parrotlet loaf drawing]

Our feature artist/ref today is this pic by @ruchikapose showing how the MID-POINT of the arm ( here marked with WHITE bands) SHIFTS BACK VISUALLY when foreshortening - and combined with the OVERLAP caused by the WIDTH of the upper forearm, we see VERY LITTLE of the UPPER ARM!

Two posts from Tumblr user awakefor48hours "You should create for yourself" and "it's okay to feel discouraged when creating your own original projects if no one interacts with them" are two sentences that should be able to co-exist with each other On the one hand, you should kill that capitalist in your head that tells you to make art only for the enjoyment of other people. On the other hand, it's totally fine to be disappointed that you spent hours or even days on something that only got 4 notes. You can feel both ways.

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to post on here but I’ve got a lot of different things in the works like redesigns, art studies, etc. (Current redraw progress on the left vs original design on the right along with inspo) #characterdesign #conceptart #digitalart #procreate
