#art is important

[prettysymbiosis]

I'm so moved that through the darkness and strangeness of this whole saga, the love has truly come through to the audience. all the fanart and web weaving is like oh yeah. these wretched two love each other more than anything and that's why we're really here. they made it with love and we've received it with so much love in return. kind of feels like my heart's been ripped out in the best way ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I just got a new dragon whom I’ve named, Bugsy. He’s going to be my ‘Save the bees!’ representative. Bees are important to the earth to grow new flowers and trees, plus their honey and sugars make up a lot of our daily foods. Bees are super important!

Do I hate capitalism? Yes!

Did I also buy the new DanAndPhilCRAFTS merch, the second it came out? Absolutely!

Here's the merch btw!!

First

They came for our art And we did not speak out Because it was only art, and we had to make a living

Then they came for our books And the librarians said something But they soon quieted, because "think of the children"

Then they came for our music And no one noticed, Because all the stations are owned by the same companies

Then they came for our language They called it slang, and vulgar And we didn't speak out because they silenced us

Then they came for us And no one noticed Because we had all already disappeared

With apologies to Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

*kicking the door!!* What is your secret for being a good artist!!!!!

M-my s-secret... >//w//<

Oh love, I'm still learning, I wouldn't even count myself as a good artist. I do appreciate the compliment! 💚

I'd say, keep using references, for posing, for backgrounds, for basic objects. It will learn you how perspectives work. Especially when it comes to shadowing, which I still suck at- but that's beside the point.

My secret is, just keep drawing, even if you dislike what you're drawing. Get friends who hype up your art, because it will make you feel more confident and loved. :333

Also, three wise friends of mine told me to never ever compare your art to others! [@helpimhyperfixating, @ahoge-fish, @cesca-untoldstories]

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite
