do any other artists feel like. yeah you're a 'good artist' because you draw things that look nice, but like. TECHNICALLY? you're really not great
i really hate that i can recognise that yes, my art is good, but is it VARIED? is it dynamic?? is my anatomy good? is it full of texture and colour theory? do i know how to do This? can i do That? no, not really. and that's quite painful actually

I've been really digging at my brain about why your art is just screaming at me with how much I like it. And I think I came to the conclusion that you really just captured this almost perfect mixture of semi realistic style, that I think I want to hopefully reach at some point. This amazing style that captures a bunch of expression, as well as still keep this comfy feeling. I'm not anywhere close to where you've reached, but it's such an amazing inspiration to look at! Anyways, I'm done gushing about your art, love your stuff and thanks for helping me push my brain to strive further with my own art!
thank you <3<3<3 im really happy to hear i inspire you! i myself sometimes had negative thoughts that "man this artist is so cool im so behind them", but once i started to just draw what makes me feel happy and free, and focusing on perfecting things that i MYSELF want to be better, it became so much easier to create art. i wish you the best in your creative journey, make art that makes you happy, make art that makes you sad, make art without thought behind it, make self indulgent art that only you will get, experiment with different mediums and never let commercialism decide what your art should look like because its yours and noone elses

ATTN: CANADIAN VISUAL ARTISTS
i am begging you to please please please put your nationality in your bio. tag your instagram bio, artstation bio, tumblr posts, i do not care, just put it somewhere. i know americans are sooooo cool and never think they need to put their f***ing location and we all strive to be as confident, but i cannot be the only canadian editor struggling to find you!!! the canadian artist ecosystem relies sooo heavily on grants that only fund projects with a certain percentage of art from canadians and/or people who live in canada!!!! BUT I CANT GIVE YOU THAT MONEY IF I CANT FIND YOU! LET ME GIVE YOU THE MONEY AHHH
