“Think big but start small. A slow and steady relentless push back is how we are going to win.”

Hi there, um, I'd like to say that I weigh's work has done a lot for me in terms of self esteem and I can't thank you enough Yet, I know that as an advocate for those bullied, you must be mistreated and bullied yourself. In those times, do you ever feel like giving up, like "I've suffered my share, this is too much, I can't do it", do you ever have those moments, and if so, how do you get over them?

There are definitely moments where I get overwhelmed because there is so much to do. I want to help everyone, I want to fix everything and the world is such a mess right now. It’s hard to know where to start. But I just try to calm myself down by remembering that nothing changes overnight. 

The only logical approach is community and brick-by-brick progress. Think big but start small. A slow and steady relentless push back is how we are going to win.

things i did that forced me to be a better artist:

used a reference for everything

thinner line art (you think thats thin? go thinner….)

sketch, then do a cleaner sketch, THEN start finalizing

THUMBNAILS

color research, picking a set palette or light/dark for each work

you like that pose? redo it one more time

USE A DAMN REFERENCE

do not rely on stylization as an excuse for anatomy

draw the goddamn background you coward

just draw the hand- a bad hand is better than a hidden hand

the rule of thirds WORKS

take a considerable break between sketch and lines/paint

know that art takes longer as you get better at it

draw the seams on clothes

stop aiming for accuracy and focus on fluidity and motion, accuracy will come with practice of those two concepts

just…do the chiaroscuro. just DO IT. no excuses it always works

stop making excuses, make yourself an art schedule/set weekly(or daily) art goals and just DO IT.

I was soaked and freezing cold by the time we reached this alpine lake, but something about the sound and tranquility kept me completely unbothered.

Today I woke up like shit, stayed in bed for hours while awake, have super negative thoughts and overall ~sadness~ while I got v emotional for the most regular thing I though oh wait- checked my period tracker and today I’m entering the PMS zone.

In the last 24 hours I got to see a cool golden moon, I have slept almost a full night straight and had only one nightmare, Snow fell for the first time this winter ❤ So I got out of my house for the first time in 2019 to take a long walk in the snow, I bought some bookbinding supplies during the said walk, Kaamelott gets a movie!!!!!!

This is a good day.
