Hi Bluesky! Kinda nervous cause I don’t typically post on platforms like this, but I figured I’d try it out ☺️ You can call me Ri, my goal is to share my art here, meet fellow artists, and eventually develop my Etsy shop. I’ll start off by showing a few things I’m working on at the moment! - 🪰☕️

It’s getting harder and harder being someone trying to live off their art online with social media sites disappearing/going to shit and censorship laws hitting Hays Code levels.

Like I just want to draw comics man wtf!

Sometimes you pour pancake batter onto the skillet and realize immediately “wellp, that’s gonna be an ugly one.”

I think art and writing goes the same way.

you can try to fix it while it fries, learn and pour a better one next time, or find the person who wants to eat it in all its ugliness

It's important for kids to see themselves in art when they're developing. When they don't see themselves anywhere in the things their peers love, it can make them feel like they don't belong, or worse, that there's something wrong with them. This is all I'm going to say about the Pixar issue.

I really hate art block T^T I have so many ideas but rn it feels like they’re just not coming out the way I want them to.

artist hot take

small artists like myself can’t simply raise the price because thats what we deserve. there’s not a lot of people that support us and when the demand for our work is low, we HAVE to make our commission prices cheap.

give likes/reposts. thats how you can support us w/o money.

My random tip of the day is: Fail.

Make some dog shit art, make something you think you like and then hate, despise your own work. See the flaws in your previous makings and then approach your new work with the mindset of making those failings better.

Make shitty art and then make wonderful art

Anyone can draw. Anyone. Yes, the person who is disabled can draw. Yes, you, who has only ever drawn as a preschooler. If you want to draw, you can get there, it's a skill and you have to dedicate time and effort to it, but you can learn.
