talking to a friend about getting back into art and i think the #1 most important piece of art advice i could ever get or give is just "figure out what is FUN to you"
like i think there is sooooo much emphasis on how to build SKILL in art but a lot of it really treats art like a job or like video game grinding, like it's this thankless job that you have to work at in order to reach a Threshold and i know it's not EASY to make yourself have fun but like
imo a solid 70% of the reason i create art is because the Act of Drawing is fun to me. it's fun problem-solving and planning and putting down lines and playing with colors and tools. it's fun to depict little scenes in my head or to create outfits or to find ways to fill the canvas. never forget that creating can be fun. sometimes it's hard and sometimes you have to battle through your own blockades to get there but the ultimate goal should always be to ENJOY it, to find what you enjoy doing and then do it forever. improvement will follow enjoyment.
i think especially with all the debate about ML image generation it's more important than ever to embrace FUN. if you're only focused on the end result it's so easy to get in your own head- to think about what doesn't look good or what skills you don't have yet or to compare yourself to other artists. but photography didn't kill the art of drawing and AI won't either because, simply put, there will always be people who want to do the physical act of making art because it's fun to do! using paints and markers, splashing colors around, doing shitty pen doodles, using the symmetry tool in your art program to do abstract mandalas that are just squiggles formed into patterns. do art like you're 5 and you've been handed markers to pass the time. do art like you're bored in class and you're keeping your brain entertained by drawing stick figure comics in the margins. do art like an absent thing, do art because it satisfies your brain. the goal is not to make something beautiful and perfect, the goal is to make something because your hands need to make and your body needs to make.
#i know and love so many people who have intense anxiety about their ability to create art and who are so hard on themselves about the result#and i think that's a REALLY easy thing to feel because creating is also vulnerable & physically difficult and there is SOOOO much to master#but i think for me the people who churn out 300 colored pencil front facing hands behind their backs oc doodles on lined notebook paper-#are the ones with the right idea. they're the ones i aspire to be like#i'm not saying i never struggle either bc tbh#as someone with depression and adhd there are times where the Act of Having Fun is simply not possible#sometimes i CAN'T enjoy things because my ability to feel joy is locked behind a barrier of my mental illness#so i don't think it's an Easy thing to do by far and I don't think you can just Magically Make Yourself Happy And Having Fun#but i DO think that experimenting in a low-stakes low-pressure manner until you find something that clicks in your brain helps#doing things for the sake of doing them is the only way to figure out which ones WILL be fun to you#not all of them will. some things will feel like a slog#but i think you have to look for the passion before you're able to face the slog#if you jump right into the parts that are Hard and Challenge Your Limits it's easy to spin your wheels and get stuck#but if you focus on the super small stakes and the things that are thoughtless and focused more on Sensation-#the sensory experience of mixing paint or the scratch of pencil on paper or the smooth way a specific pen makes lines-#then you can lose yourself in the physical aspect of it FIRST#and then once you've started really ENJOYING those sensations you can start learning new ways to use them#because now you have the drive to want to do more#now you have the desire to find new ways to apply this thing you like doing#long post#even longer tags#art#drawing#artists#art advice

My interview is tomorrow and I'm so so nervous but I saw a live possum yesterday and good things always happen when I see live possums (yes dead possums are a bad sign) and I had multiple people put in a good word for me at animal control and I'm really very much qualified for it. Also the snow had completely melted the last few days but I heard on the radio today it is supposed to snow a few inches tomorrow so now I'm worried about just getting TO the interview too.
#my jimmy is poopy garbage in the winter since my dad replaced the back axel with one that does not lock#its rear wheel and the 4x4 is broken and without the locking back all 4 wheels are just spinning independently#i could take the dump truck but its hard to back up and i dont want to make a fool of myself. it has 4x4 though...#i could take the rav4 since we just got it plated but its a temp plate and also like 3 different colors but it is front wheel drive#but the breaks arent the greatest and im not used to her yet#ahhhhhhhhhhhh i hate this also my fiance was supposed to go up north for his uncle tomorrow so i cant get stuck i have no one to get me out#but we dunno if he can go up now since he might have to plow#i could take the plow truck but id rather not i hate driving that. there is also the diesel truck but it doesnt have 4x4 or anything#also i dont love driving it it is huge: see making myself a fool backing up#the parking lot there is tight if i remember right#im just hoping its not really snowing and i can just take my jimmy#i wish my jimmy hadnt been abused#we did get a new new new back axel for it that DOES lock but it has not been installed yet its just. chillin in the yard.#do i tell them i have pigs?? my current job doesnt know i have pigs#what if im judged for breeding pigs thats why i didnt tell my current job but then half the staff went and got breeder puppies so like#thats not a thing there apparently but it would of been weird at my last animal wellfare job

that anger thing can get dangerous though: on my way to and from the gp, i called 5 men out, who were publicly displaying anti social behaviours (loud music in public, public urination, disrespect of rights of way, etc). Unfortunately it is only a matter of time until one of them shakes the stupor off more quickly from being talked down by a woman in public and decides to beat me to death to make me pay for daring to step out of line.

My neighbor, the first house on the street, put up two “10 mph speed limit” signs (it was 15mph when I was a kid and the old sign is still there with 15, just propped up against a tree). And the placement of the first one makes sense, it’s right as you enter the street, but the other is before his house on the way out. He clearly only wants people to go the speed limit in front of his house
