Old #sheith art I don’t completely hate. Was basically a clone AU where Keith failed to save Shiro

Draw what you want! Sounds really basic but solely making art with the expectation of popularity + success will poison the well of your artistic spirit, and you won’t really develop an artistic voice if you’re just trying appease your audience at all times, save for a voice that actually isn’t yours

"Draw every day" is straight up bad advice
Draw regularly, yes, but the hand is a muscle and like with any skill, rest days are critical. You need to rest and recharge, read/watch/play etc in order to keep those creative juices going
If you try to force it then it's just gonna lead to burnout

focusing on skill doesn't make your art better or make you like your art more. the most miserable self-loathing artists are often the most professionally skilled.
what makes you like your art is whether you actually like it, it's that simple. and if you don't like it, make something you will.

I think its fucking crazy that Grok is actively generating deepfakes and csam as we speak but if I want to commission a nsfw painting of two fictional characters and pay it through paypal I could get myself and the artist banned from the site. Like honestly, fuck all of this.

get unwell about an OC/character/ship if you want to speedrun leveling up your art. but you have to be genuine with it. gotta be real love.
also, be self indulgent as fuck and dont worry too much about appealing to others. trust me, people will pick up what you're putting down if ur insane enough

You GOTTA get cheap shitty art supplies you don't care about so you can focus on having fun with ideas instead of pretty results.
(You can still have your fancy high end stuff you make an effort with ofc. but my cheap sketchbook and a fistful of office ballpoints has become a lifeline for me)

If you're saying "Fuck JK Rowling" and "stop keeping Harry Potter culturally relevant through fandom or funding" then you should drop FNAF too. Scott Cawthon is a Christian Conservative who uses his wealth to donate to republicans, including Trump and Mitch McConnell.

The UK, Canada & Australia are reportedly in talks about potentially banning Twitter/X over Grok’s AI image generation, per The Telegraph.
Ministers believe a joint move would send a “powerful message” to Elon Musk.
