Latte ☕ @latte.monster · Oct 22

An open Moleskine notebook sits upright on a table with various sketches and drawings covering the pages. There are drawings of sentient potted plants, a pink-haired fursona, snakes, flowers, eyes, paws, and a large black and white dragon. A baby dino yells "YES! I WAS LITERALLY BORN YESTERDAY!" And a cute fuzzy worm pops its head out of an apple, while a winking cat and a muzzed dog look opposite of each other and toward the viewer. There are plants in the background surrounding the wooden table the book is resting on, giving off a soft greenish haze.

You've seen "Holy shit! Two cakes!" so now take this energy with you into the new year and be whatever you wanna do #art

A pencil sketch of a simple, cat-like character pointing at a simple, hat-wearing, hyena-like character (representing the artist), who is holding a cake. The pointing character is saying, "That's not the cake I like. Why don't you make a GOOD cake like the popular one I like?"

The character holding cake, who represents the artist, responds by saying, "Why don't you shut the hell up and get away from my goddamn cake"

"Bad" art often comes with large breakthroughs (and bad as a concept is something is a whole other topic). If you try to only make art people will like you are probably flattening what you could make. If you never apply to anything for fear of rejection you automatically will never be considered

my new year task for you is that if you have an empty sketchbook i want you to fill it up, and don't fret about how good or bad it looks. if you're nervous, do what i do & remind yourself no one has to see it. you're going to fuck up a lot but it's a part of the process, so have courage & keep going

stylized, cartoon illustration of a wolf and bear are drinking coffee together next to a fallen log. the log has a tiny door and window, and there are fallen maple leaves surrounding it. on a pile of rocks is a steaming kettle.

I wasn't always a big sketchbook person. It is actually a new thing for me, starting from a vacation this past summer!

2 beginning pages from early in that vacation, to the dust bunny page from the vacation where something in my brain finally clicked, and a recent sketchbook page.
(More below)

A messy sketchbook page of dragonflies. Underneath in bold lettering it reads "bad art is part of the process." With a smiling cat fella next to it.

A sketchbook page is pictured with red and black pen doodles. There's random food doodles along with little bunny like fellas with no arms, just lil nubby leggies. They are running around the page and interacting with the foods. On the bottom it is a diagram of the fellas. It reads "the humble dust bunny. No arms? Skrunkly. 2 feeties." The one next to that holding a corn dog is saying "wow!!!"

A sketchbook page that's very packed with en doodles and blobs of paint with drawings over top.
