Are You Ready???

#ArtAdventCalendar
#ArtAdventCalendar Guidelines Art can be almost anything. Paintings, drawings, sculpture, textiles, beading, photography, digital. If you think it's art and it beautifies the timeline then post it. No NFTs or Al art please PLEASE USE ALT TEXT It does not matter if you "posted it last year". You don't need to be a "professional" artist. If you make art at any experience level and want to show it off and make others happy, this is the event Art must be original and it must be yours or from a family member with permission. Please don’t post works from other artists, old masters etc Art does NOT have to be seasonal. It can be pretty much any subject, but please keep it family friendly-ish Please don't cross post with just links to other platforms. Most links to other social media sites don't show with images at all and if they do they are usually thumbnails Please do not post prices or use BUY NOW kinds of posts. We are bombarded with hard sell at this time of year and that's not what this is about. This is not meant to be a sales pitch. You can post links to your website if you like Please share posts and follow participating artists. This is both an exercise to build a following of art lovers and to build a supportive community of fellow artists. If you like someone else's work, let them know! As "organizer" I do my best to share all art during the month but if I miss a post, please don't take it as an insult or commentary on your work. There are a lot of posts and I will miss a few. Note that I won't share posts that contain prices or buy now content Post daily or as much as you can with the hashtag #ArtAdvent Calendar There is no specified time to post. It's a worldwide event so time you post isn't that important Don't worry if you miss a day or two. Post even if you only have 1 thing to show off that makes the timeline brighter While the event dates are the 1st to the 24th, feel free to continue to post until the end of the month if you like

Circular flowchart. “Too anxious to start on anything” leads into “stressed about not getting anything done,” then back to “too anxious to start on anything”—creating an endless loop.

Two panel comic of a person with glasses looking down at an open book. First panel reads: I think I might be bad at this. In the second panel they are scribbling in the book with a pencil. Text reads: I’m gonna do it anyway

Comic. PERSON 1 to person with white hat: I finished all the gen-ed back in 2010, and I’m up to the 400-level courses in most departments. But now one of my advisors is saying I “can’t have more than 20 majors” and “need to graduate next year.” It’s outrageous! [caption] My university is making it really hard to finish a 100% all achievements speedrun.

I know all the various defenses of piracy, and can agree with some of them (preservation is important!) but when it comes to books, there really ain't any excuse I buy. More than any other medium, authors directly rely on royalties from purchases. Every purchase gets them income, even from big pubs.

I hate that negativity gets all the amplification by social media algorithms.

Let’s amplify LOVE instead.

I am beaming love at you. Right now.

Fuck the haters. I defy you. I am beaming extra love right into your face. Relax and be loved.

Gods this is so real.
Realism is a technical still, sure! It shows your understanding of a medium, of light, or the ability to copy a photo. But it's not everything. It's not the ONLY thing.
You can make amazing non-realistic art.
You can make amazing stylized art.
Cute, funky, weird, great art.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

If you see this, post your Blue artwork!
An illustration of loose abstract arcing shapes covering the canvas in the color of waves, with three small glowing white spritelike figures among them. a drawing of two characters looking towards the viewer, an elf in a billowing shirt with wavy sword slung over shoulder leaning over a small white haired figure in dark armor with cloudlike sleeves and a lightning bolt marked on the armor. they are backlit by a lightning bolt in the sky. a perspective drawing of a woman sitting in her apartment from a high up view outside the balcony. there are several plant pots visible on the balcony and in the apartment. an art-nouveau inspired full body portrait of a blue-skinned elf with cloudlike white hair wearing a corseted gown and framed by clouds and a golden border

I had to look up what this was referring to and it's honestly beautiful. Even the English voice actor ended up using the drawing as their profile picture!

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

hello! freg!
8 panel comic P1: A title panel; borderless. We see a highly stylised --and decidedly grompy looking-- frog sitting atop a lily pad. The overly exuberant title above them reads "Hello! FREG!" P2: A close up on Freg, as their mouth opens slightly, a look of realisation on their face. The text reads: "Oh! Freg has something to say!" P3 & 4: Back to the POV form the first panel, as Freg gradually hinges open their jaw impossibly wide, almost 180 degrees. P4: We dolly back, as an absolute ream of text spews forth from the open mouth. "Jumping no longer elicits the feeling of sheer joy in me like it did, once upon a time. However, jump I MUST, because what else can I do? You ask my, why, then, would I continue to jump? Dear reader, you may as well ask me the same of breathing." "To not jump is to admit defeat. To give up entirely." P6: We switch to a dramatic low angle, with a fish lens effect, as Freg stares up at the sky, which is filled with cotton candy clouds. P7: Freg --saying "I must away"-- "jumps" off the pad. I say "jumps" because Freg looks like they are simply being dragged by a computer mouse into the air. P8: We end on a borderless panel, far back from the lily pad. The only sign Freg existed are a few ripples in the water around the pad.
