mein drawing process
pollums:
First, start with a shitty sketch in an obscenely bright color, so that not only are you the only person that understands the sketch, but you are also the only person that can bear to look directly at it without hearing the pained sizzle of your previously functional retinas.
This is, obviously, to protect the state secrets you’ve kept encrypted in the sketch itself. You are a...

Some Thoughts on Art & Being Afraid
goddamnitkate:
I think everyone’s been afraid of what people thought of their work at some point, even if it was only a little bit. It could be about their content, message or execution of that message, reputation, technical skill, or something else entirely.

Hands in general, are more or less a big bunch of joints, so if you don’t keep that in mind when drawing, you might...

Thanks dude!!! Um all my advice is going to be pretty basic so please forgive me if you’ve heard all this before hahahaha
These are just things I wish I could tell people more often-
