I recently realized that one of the reasons I wa struggling so much with digital art is that my hand kept messing with my tablet screen and putting in multiple inputs. Now the easiest way to remedy this would be to get a drawing glove, but it was like 7pm and I wanted to draw then and there. So I grabbed a pair of thrifted leather gloves I own that fit me well but I never wore due to the color and just. Made myself a bespoke drawing glove

Honestly? It works great, fits great, and the only downsides are that is squeaks a bit against my screen… And also I lost it almost immediately.

Now, at the time I was so annoyed because for the first time in what felt like ages I felt reinvigorated in digital art, and now I can’t draw what I want because I had stupidly lost my make shift tool. So I did what any one would do and took the scraps I had and a little yarn and made ANOTHER drawing glove,

I was so proud of myself for rigging up this rejected jrpg glove looking solution to my art problems that I’m almost disappointed that I did indeed find the original drawing glove..

Thank you so much for this advice!! It’s been genuinely really helping me with my applications + funny bc now I’m just applying to things by playing that character of a mid tier wizard who’s pretending to be an artist in order to sell my magical wears without anyone knowing.

How this has helped:

I already describe a lot of my traditional art as “wizard trinkets”

I already felt like I was lying when I was writing about my art. Now, I get to play a character who is definitely lying about what they are trying to sell. Yes this is totally art ment to invoke a feeling of having some kind of magic property. It’s not actually gonna raise your fire magic defense stat by 5%. Promie :)

If I get approved for events, then the wizard has done its job :) and gets to revel in the “deceit”

It’s funny how sometimes ya gotta lie to yourself so you can actually be authentic. Why are brains like this. thanks again <33

Ernest question: does anyone have some advice on how to not let the imposter syndrome / low self esteem get to you when applying to events/making art work that is specifically to help get you into events?

I know that I’m a skilled artist and I can get into stuff, but I’m really struggling to not let the above get to me.

Prototype for a good luck/bad luck charm

aka a ward against luck

aka “amulet of your own destiny”

Gonna be playing around with the craft a bit more but I adore the vibe of it :)

Ok I amend one thing from this statement: I’m not connected to my art style outside of birds. Birds I look at and I’m like “yeah I did that” everything else? Nah

For the last year and a half I’ve felt pretty disconnected from my own art style, like I’ll make something and then I’ll look at it like??? Who drew this? I can’t be me, I don’t draw/paint/carve like that! (Even though obviously I do now)

But the thing is I don’t feel like the little art I make rn is bad! Just… how did we get here? I couldn’t really tell you. I’m half tempted not to claim any of my newer work because it dosnt feel like it’s mine.

Anyone else get this way? I’m sure it’s just a symptom of art block, but I’d love to hear people’s experiences/advice

Me, a month ago: oh boy! I can’t wait to work on this fun beading project that will be a great art piece to have on my room!

Me, right now, attempting to solder plastic: p-please help me, this was a mistake

[nollimet]

My stamps! I don’t have one of my repeating pattern stamps included because I lost one of them for a bit, but my stamps! I have been working on actually getting them printed on paper AND fabric! (And getting stickers of some of them)

[nollimet]

I wanna be finished so bad 😭

Turns out if you are doing a project with beads and SO much string the cats decide it’s for them

Tbh this is a more accurate wip…

current work in progress, aka what if you could buy garlands for a dollar each and had delusions of grandeur so you bought and dyed 8500 beads…
