Fandom Problem #5730:

Artist: draws a black character with straight or wavy hair

Fandom: dogpiles them for "not knowing how to draw black people"

Character: no specified canon race but has a straight / wavy hair texture

Fandom: she's definitely 100% black, to draw her any other way would be white washing.

???

(kind of wild to think of how many real life black people would be criticized as "poorly designed black characters" if they were drawn as cartoons.)

It's a little hard to articulate, but this happens with me sometimes.

The best thing about being an artist is that you can draw what you want. Until you can't draw it. Then it's horrible being an artist.

Ever just make an OC and you think they’ll just be a one-off character but then all of the sudden, whoop. You dive into the character to understand how they handle a situation you put them in, you help them succeed, develop their personality more than you planned and you’re just attached to your little baby now so you’ve got to see them grow and flourish and make it to the happy ending they deserve?

Fandom Problem #5728:

Understanding that you're going to start out bad at things before you can get good and it's okay to make things that aren't great the first time around and nobody is capable of making a masterpiece right away

But also knowing that if I make something and anyone says even 1 mean thing about it I will absolutely explode into a million pieces and die so I definitely have to make sure it is the most completely perfect thing ever made that no one could even possibly find a single thing criticize it ever (impossible) (end up never finishing anything ever - a fantastic system)

Being high is crazy as an artist.

One minute you're working on a commission, then 3 hours have passed and you've created 2 characters for a fictional spaceship that didn't exist prior.

A special interest is like having a snow globe on your desk and rotating it gently from time to time, but a hyperfixation is like violently shaking that same snow globe with both hands all day long and you can't even look away. I have to shake the snowglobe and count all the little snow particles and maybe eat them

Happy new year friends! I'm back from my holiday break. If you do anything creative, do you relate to this? The idea of what you want to draw/write/create is so big and cool and exciting in your head but once you do it - it's nowhere near as impressive haha. Happens to me more often than I'd like.
