despite what artists say about how art is the most underappreciated job it's just not true, these losers won't try so hard to get a piece of the pie if it wasn't the case, trying to come out on top in the economy of sympathy by cosplaying an artist, it's oddly affirming

What im trying to say is art is frustrating, theres friction, problem solving and just sometimes banging your head into the wall and those experiences are "negative" but you dont actually hate them. Not like in a masochistic way, but in the way challenging yourself brings you joy. I like the process

Real. I'd never use healing brush ever again if it meant gen AI didn't have to exist.
