I just had a small epiphany why you might like other people's art more than your own:

It's the lack of suspension of disbelief.

When you see something someone else has drawn or painted, you take in the content faster than you take in the technical aspects. You experience it as pseudo-real, the same way you stop perceiving animated characters as drawn or book characters as written as you get into the story.

On the other hand, when you yourself have made something, all you see is the machine behind the theater, so to speak. You're probably thinking about lines, shading, coloring in a "does this make sense? Is this the best decision I could have made?"-kind of way.

I think that's also why sometimes, pictures you haven't looked at for a long time starts looking nice to you again, à la: "Hey past-me was unto something! Why can't I replicate it nowadays?". It's probably specifically because you've forgotten the process of making it that you are now seeing it with fresh eyes.

Art is an illusion, but a magician has a hard time tricking themself. So don't be so hard on yourself: it's probably just that you can't see the magic right now, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

"YES these are great!!! But what about.. longer?" I gotcha!! Comin' right up!

"Now that's what I'm talkin' about! But... how about if I'm feeling like it's the kinda day where I need my clothing to be bifurcated???" Never fear, joggers are here!

aghhh so many pics. the main boys, xander and avery. they're a classic sun/moon dynamic, and have a lot of history to them in how they've been developed by me. that being said, i wanna mention avery originally wasn't my oc, and i feel bad calling him mine honestly because he was created by a close friend of mine, though they haven't had the time to focus on xander and avery's story, so i've been fleshing it out more on my spare time. the past couple days i've just really liked where it was going in my head, and i finally wanna make something about and for them. to me they're a relic of the 2010's and that's what i love most about them. i wanna embrace their simplistic dynamic and make it as complex and fun as i can. i'm excited about this!

hello hello! i am law, i use she/they pronouns and i am 20. i would prefer only 18+ followers as i might delve into more mature subjects. this account will be dedicated to exploring the development of my ocs, xander and avery. the idea is that i will be developing a comic based around my 2010s internet nostalgia and that it will be a very personal project that mostly caters to me and the people close to me, but i hope it can be enjoyed by others as well. i want it to be my love letter to fanfic tropes and tumblr-isms, taking full pride in being cute, angsty, gay cringe. i just wanna have fun with it! :D i'm not new to tumblr but it's never been my main social media so bear with me i'm like. slow with some stuff lmao😭
