Doing art is like playing a roguelike, when you just start out you might get lucky and make a good piece here and there.
but it’s not about beating a run once, the real mastery comes after you do it over and over until you learn the systems and tools and can win consistently.

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

another one? another one! 🥰
it's easier for me to get in lineart mood if I put a texture on top of everything (my brain is happy) 😌💕
In CSP you can also exclude the texture from being picked up by eyedropper and other tools!

Professionals use art reference.
Hobbyists use art reference.
Newbies use art reference.
Teachers use art reference.
Everyone uses reference.

Use reference for your art.
You're not cheating.

one of the worst feelings as an artist is when you have lots of ideas for what you want to draw but no time, then when you have the time you have no motivation, then when you have the motivation you have no ideas

Stay spicy 🌞

It’s my birthday today! If you could repost my artwork, it would be the perfect birthday present!

stop apologizing for not posting, for taking breaks, for being slow, for drawing the same character, for posting only sketches, for gushing over OCs, for being a beginner, for raising your prices, for trying a new medium—

start doing whatever you heckin want
