if you want to create but feel intimidated and overwhelmed, you're forgetting something: good art doesn't exist. all art is terrible. every story and song and movie and picture is worse than the one before it and all artists should be in prisom

(NEW?) TUMBLR TAGGING PSA:

heads up, folks! it looks like - EVEN AND ESPECIALLY ON YOUR CUSTOM BLOG VIEW!!! - tumblr only counts the first twenty tags! on a post! after this, the post won't show up in that tag, not even on your blog

so if you have a personal art tag but you put it at the bottom of the post under all of the #switch #nintendo #mario #bros #64 etc etc etc bloat tags, it doesn't work.

please put your most relevant tags first! having an art tag that doesn't have all your art posts in it is basically useless, after all

there used to be a saying that tumblr search only counted the first five tags on a post, which is why crosstagging for reach was pointless. tumblr has since updated to count twenty tags - at a cost. any tags after #20 apparently do not show up in that tag on your own blog.

i found this out because i was looking at someone's cool mario 64 art project, and because they put the tag for the project at the very bottom of their tags, the final post NEVER showed up in their tag for the project when i was browsing it ON THEIR BLOG (very different tumblr behavior than it used to be years ago!). i did finally stumble on the final post of the project, thankfully, and realizing what happend, i started counting. tumblr counts the first 20 tags, but tag #21 and all after are useless.

psa!

Just random curiosity here since I don't know much about art, but when an artist paints something realistic that looks far too difficult to be fun, what is the motivation there? Is realism more about creativity or is it more about picking the hardest thing possible and conquering it, perhaps to impress others or even to prove to yourself you can do it? Like I said I'm in not an artist but every time I see realism it looks like it would be more difficult than fun.

It's a little bit like that. I think realism can be described as a mountaineering or marathoning effort.

But that doesn't mean it's not creative.

Art is the world expressed through a filter. So all artists look at the world then filter it through their experiences.

For me, realism is like an archaeological dig. You're uncovering a mystery, solving a puzzle, putting the pieces together, and showing everyone what it looks like, reflecting its beauty or significance. The filter is still there. You're still making choices—even archaeologists make choices about what the jar was for or what the tomb inscription says.

But it's a meticulous act of understanding what you've found.
