I want to feel like I’m good at drawing again. So unsatisfied with what I’ve drawn recently.

For those who have no idea at all, for each of these “pics” there is a person who spent For those who have no idea at all, for each of these “pics” there is a person who spent For those who have no idea at all, for each of these “pics” there is a person who spent For those who have no idea at all, for each of these “pics” there is a person who spent For those who have no idea at all, for each of these “pics” there is a person who spent For those who have no idea at all, for each of these “pics” there is a person who spent For those who have no idea at all, for each of these “pics” there is a person who spent For those who have no idea at all, for each of these “pics” there is a person who spent For those who have no idea at all, for each of these “pics” there is a person who spent For those who have no idea at all, for each of these “pics” there is a person who spent

For those who have no idea at all, for each of these “pics” there is a person who spent at least from 10 to 30 HOURS of head on a monitor to create all of this.
{and not only me, but for EVERY fan art you see on the WEB.}

And, you see all of this?? All the time I spent on this piece of - art, time of that my ONE life, spent on something that I tried hard to enjoy?
(Because yeah, I could have trash it everything and instead of spent my time on “drawing” painfully and frustrating like all the other artist I hope can understands, I could have play some videogame instead. Or read.) But no, I choosed to draw cause they say to us to keep trying, to keep fighting for what we love and?…  

Well, time that somehow has been shadowbanned :D until today :D when finally I’ve got a real answer from Tumblr :D finally resolving a “glitch” that hided all my recently posts from the research.

And what can I say… I’m sorry very sorry but I’m just a little bit frustrated. Yeah.
But I don’t want to speak about me, I want to talk about who likes me is in the same situation:

Artist all around the web are really, really trying hard to shows the world that they exist but biggest social media are keeps cutting off any chance of visibility and in other ways, emotionally human speaking, this lead to a lot of people dropping off every hopes.
Then what you say?
“It’s their fault that they’re not trying hard”
Well, I’m gonna tell you what this mean: sh1t.

The kind of SH*T you say when you heard that they company X want to make a remake of “that series X” and the only thing you can think of is  "theres no more original ideas today. Cinema is becoming trash because they don’t know what to invent anymore. Bleah, there’s nothing new nowadays".

The truth is:  THERE IS BUT ALL THE CREATORS ARE BEING DROWN DOWN BY THINGS LIKE THIS KEEPS HAPPENING.
And not only shadowbanned accindetally by bots, (that ok can be understandable, moderators bots are not humans but still they should be fixed a little more.) but by also people that see things and just hit “like” and nothing else.
((((Click “Like” it’s ok, but it’s a wrong, WRONG system to support the artist you like. It’s just like say “hi” and turn your shoulders to them.  
From the principle, click a like is a single one-way “support” that works  mostly as a save for later than anything else.
And PLEASE, don’t get it wrong, I’m asking you sorry if this sounds rude to you, but with the recently visibilities issues all around the major social media, the best you can shows to support youjr favorite artist is sharing their art,  share share and share.

Out there, there ARE people with very, very beautiful ideas!!! Very lovely art, very brilliant stories that are praying for that little chance to be known, but how do you thinks they can be noticed if nobody knows them?
And saying “knows them”, I’m meaning: have chance to visibility on web.
That’s how basically “get informed” works, sponsor works, and all possible supporters get to know the next fandom they would love.
By: sharing.
But if social media keeps cutting off artist that can have a lot of potentials and good materials to offer, it’s inevitable that time passing they lost hopes and will to create.

Every kind of artists are still humans, not “money” machines.

I don’t care for me, but please, support your favourite artist!
SHARE!

Now, said this, and sorry for my little rant, I’m grateful that Tumblr supports helped me with this issue but I still not able to see my lasts posts on researches, so since I am not neither in mood neither have enough phisically forces to re-post all of my art from last year, I made a big one post with some of all the major pieces that receveid less attentions.
I just hope you like it, and if even not please, give it a chance to be seen by someone who would, share this to spread an artist cry!

I wanna continue drawing but my tablet pen dropped off the face of the earth a few hours ago rip

Me: I wanna make a comic book

Also me: *literally cannot keep a single idea in my head long enough to put it to paper and not hate it*

these are literally my two favorite pieces i’ve done in the last year, and they’re so ridiculously different in vibe but manage to at least share that teal color i’m addicted to. idk what this says about me as an artist.

i started making an addie larue animatic, took a break to do twitter things, and then ended up doodling more very weird ML art oops. why does this keep happening?? i shouldn’t even be focusing on art rn at all!

laying in bed throwing random colors at these sketches, thinking how much i like pink and green together, when i look around and realize these are literally the colors of my bedroom lol

toughtinkart:

i think i’m having that “everything you draw looks like something you drew” problem with designing OCs, and i need to lean into it. i’ve resorted to redrawing cinderella (1950) screencaps to try and get the cinderella feel since that’s the basis of the story i’m working on. (it’s cinderella, but make it a heist.)

idk what era i wanna pull influence from, but right now i’m going mostly rococo i guess???

LMAO XD Let’s see how many if these crazy things YOU guys do while listening to music!

When your main source of inspiration is Instagram but Instagram won’t let you look at the explore page so you just sit and suffer


Mf I want to draw angst. I just can’t think of any angst.

This is definitely not a new topic but

the only people I pity in this WFH situation are artists whose spouse/family/roommates now spend their whole day at home and they walk into the artists’ room while they’re drawing emotional stuff and making hideous faces

We don’t talk about that.
