It really sucks that creative people are now also expected become their own marketing team or become experts in business ventures in order to keep making art. Literally cannot think of a group of people less inclined to tedious number punching work than passionate artists.

i dont know who needs to hear this but as a general PSA for those who pay people online for goods and services: KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE BUYING. While it might seem funny to write a clever note along with your transaction, any sort of hint that you're buying something nsfw or even mildly suggestive poses a huge risk that the person you're paying is getting their method of payment shut down permanently. transaction services are stricter than ever. "thanks for the boobs" is a pipe bomb that only needs one pair of eyes to be noticed. loose lips sink ships

You won't reach a point where you don't need references anymore 😭

Even artists who freedraw regularly still do studies, refer to their past work, keep character sheets at hand, etc

Please don't impose that expectation on yourself just because of a live demo, tiktok, or timelapses especially

Boyzzzzz

moleskine is trending on tumblr for WHATEVER fucking reason and this is your regular reminder that moleskine is some of the worst AND overpriced notebooks around. having a moleskine notebook is absolutely nothing to be proud of and it gets really awkward in stationery communities when people who use moleskine start asking why their nice pens do not work on their 'fancy' moleskine notebooks.

the answer is the paper is so dogshit that a good chunk of amazing writing utensils WILL NOT WORK on that paper. there is nothing moleskine excels at compared to other notebooks, other than marketing. they are nearly universally hated among people who use fountain pens and rollerballs.

seriously I cannot tell you how many people slide into fountain pen communities blaming their FOUNTAIN PENS because their awful shitty moleskine notebooks bleed and feather. because they are bad notebooks with bad paper and too many people fall for their marketing claiming they are anything but a rip-off. and then the community has to break the tragic news to yet another person that their 'fancy' notebook is a pile of steaming trash and they might as well try to write on toilet paper with the vast majority of fountain pens and fountain pen inks.

moleskine is one of the most infamous notebooks in all of stationery in all of the world. it sucks THAT much compared to anything even remotely respectable.

good paper does not have to be expensive. moleskine just SUCKS

Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating.

Every time I think ''oh, I need to pick a new animal for my fursona/random animal-like design from a cartoon I like"

And inevitable I make another cat, I was going to make a gecko at some point but I got tired midway and never finished the design

I have to pick a dinosaur tbh, I love them so much, or a modern bird, I have to search more fauna from Argentina because I think there's so many interesting things here

It's just that cats are easy 😭 I like cats, I learned how to draw them already

But anyways, I have to learn how to draw more animals at some point

today i learned twitter artists are posting their own art but captioning it as if they're reposting someone else's work, bc it gives them waaay more engagement. and its worked every time. the state of social media is truly so over 😭
