happy 10th anniversary to the best video of all time

“Don’t trace” originally started as a warning against tracing as art theft (as in, tracing someone else’s art without permission or credit is art theft) and then over the intervening years turned into “you can’t use references because it’s cheating” and I think that’s one of the worst cases of the telephone game I’ve ever personally experienced

you are allowed to trace as practice

you are allowed to trace your own work (for example photographs you took yourself or to keep architectural consistency)

you are allowed to trace things the original artist is encouraging you to trace

you SHOULD use references

you SHOULD be allowed to pick up other artists’ artistic tics you like (…as long as they’re not offensive, like blackfacing, but that’s a different kettle of fish)

you SHOULDN’T go around moralizing at other people about how they learn best because you can and will lose friends that way and you can and will hurt other artists’ development that way.

Also other than art theft there IS no such thing as cheating in art okay use sparkle pens and fan brushes to your heart’s content why is that even a thing I have to say (…and yes I’ve had conversations in the analog world about fan brushes as “cheating” I’m so tired of snotty artists who think you shouldn’t be allowed to use tools that make things easier because they can do it the hard way)

can we talk about how important it is to portray mental illness on screen? when i was 13 and started having regular panic attacks, i didn’t understand what was happening until i saw iron man 3. but when i watched tony stark have a breakdown and then have it clearly labeled as an anxiety attack, i could point at it and say that’s whats happening to me and i didn’t have to be ashamed of it because superheroes have anxiety attacks too.

I hate the fact that the sentence “mummies are rare because we ate them” is factual.

Friday night blues

Buffer my expectations

Waiting for a weekend,

Rejecting wasted weekdays

-

Mourning months of mondays,

Friday finds me melancholic

Still pacing,

Feet silently marking time

[lysa-bell]

Drifting,

Wakefulness winds

Along a wistful path,

Worrying at rabbit holes

Offering obscure escapism

People are STILL asking why there's no 'Sailor Earth'

HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE YOU TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT LIKE SERIOUSLY IT’S BEEN OVER 10 YEARS.
