I've seen this popping up multiple places but I have no clue what event it's from.... was this taken when they filmed their performance on "The Voice"? I haven't watched the show so I don't know... in any event, they look so adorably smol next to Snoop.

thats like asking me to unsee the sunset, man. to erase a precious memory. if you display your artistic material anywhere it will resonate with viewers. the only reason i can even draw today is by watching how the artists i admire develop their techniques. also there are kids half your age on this website learning from your work and how you draw, so they can draw and have fun too. you do not exist in a vaccum my dude. asking members of your community to not be inspired by your work is expecting the impossible. the modern form of perspective we use in artwork today was only invented in 1415, and then shortly after the greats like donatello and leonardo were studying the original arcitect's work for their own material that we all idolize today. do you listen to music while you draw? isn't music art? isn't that inspiration? do you practice what you demand from others?

(please dont post if off anon)

“all i am anymore to you is a clean set of sheets.”

“speaking of which: you might want to up the thread count.”
