The Eternal Struggle Of An Artist.

Tumblr is doing some stupid AI shit so go to blog settings > Visibility > Prevent third-party sharing.

Why cant i do 2 projects at once? Like im really into a drawing ive been doing in my sketchbook just for myself right now, but also i have a digital drawing I've wanted to get done for like 3 months too...why am i incapable of splitting my time between them equally?

It's really not cool that at 5am I've just now realized I have NO art prepared for christmas...I swear guys I'm an artist...

here’s a hug,

for everyone trying and doing their best.

i see you.

and my heart is with you.

There are plenty of reasons not to use twitter any more but for artists, handing over the rights to twitter to train AI with it should be the final straw. So here is another solution.

Also, tools like glaze which poison images against AI are really helpful but they take a long time to process each image so consider just doing a cropped section of the image if you want to share it to twitter.

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

BASICALLY like 2 months of not having a stylus...literally being UNABLE to draw digitally like I wanted to...soooooo many great ideas during that time....finally got a stylus....had it for a week....CANT THINK OF ONE DAMN THING TO DRAW!

I've been staring at Dabi for a good 2 hours... Is what little skin he has stolen from someone else?

It's stapled onto his burned body so i assume that new skin isn't his....

Did Dabi skin someone?

(he's absolutely a Todoroki, maybe that's why his family doesn't recognize him? Cuz he's literally wearing someone else's face.)

Working on poses + anatomy so I drew a tiefling cuz baldur's gate is continuing to infect my brain❤
