To all beginner and insecure artists

Being good at art is hard, and you need practice, I just had someone say my art is great and that they're bad, and although I draw these now:

This is skill I have only had for like a month, so let's take a tour of my old art:

ok, first one I have that isn't a trace or my face, it's ok, but nothing is clean and it's overlapping, it's supposed to be human tangy from animal crossing

Ah yes, the gradient black out era, born off of yt shorts, seriously though, what is coming on twitter the girl in the top two images?!

What even is that?!

That gender isn't the only thing that's wonky here.

Vaugely threatening!

I dont even know atp, someone without arms or a head blowing bubbles crossing their legs?!

This is so bad, I drew it flat then put it through the filters in the app to make it round, Jesus christ.

WTF EVEN IS THAT?! I THINK I WAS TRHING TO DRAW A ROSE?!

....I think I did this after I watched mooknight and.... I don't know, I think I made the bird god a demon?!?!

More demons and an attempt at an eye.... I... I cant

Female bb8? Also apparently I discovered the shape tools!

And if you are like "oh that was probably ages ago!" These next ones are less than a month ago:

Wonky as mfkers

TL;DR: art is a journey, a long one, very few are good immediately, it's alot of practice and finding what's best for you!

I have a ridiculous bit of family drama for you bestie

I got married last year, and my grandmother from my dad's side became fast friends with my mother in law. Backstory is they're both narcissists.

My aunt, aka my grandmother's daughter in law, is an esteemed medical professional, living abroad. My grandmother has hated her since day one. She comes from a well-off family that's gone through numerous tragedies but is still holding it together. My grandmother is bothered that her son would marry someone better than his mother, when that's how she raised him his whole life.

My husband's had various health issues this year, and instead of going to one of the many under qualified local GPs, he asks me to call up my aunt and ask her about his ailments and what to do about them. All was well for the first couple of times. Suddenly, my mother in law started developing an insanely hateful behavior toward my aunt, after my husband kept telling her what she told him to do and how he did it. I was confused as to why, these two women (aunt and mother in law) have barely exchanged any words except for the brief "Congrats to the newlyweds" at the wedding. It made no sense and was progressively getting worse. Any time my husband wasn't feeling well - and sometimes when he felt perfectly fine too - my mother in law would talk shit about my aunt, and she'd do it in front of me. It got to a point where she started screaming obscenities about my aunt, and then also her mother, who was a pediatrician before she passed away years ago. Imagine talking shit about someone who's dead that you never knew. That they were the worst types of know it all people when they don't know shit. And how my mother in law knows better than them both and all other medical professionals ever combined because she's had to look after her own parents' health for years and has "seen everything and suffered plenty". She also frequently complains about various ailments she has, but never goes to the doctor because she knows how to treat everything herself. I've started describing her in very simple terms: a "bigger martyr than Jesus", and a "better medical professional than every past and present leader of the WHO combined".

Anywho, after months, I finally learned that my mother in law and grandmother chat almost daily, and I got to learn about some of the topics they often discuss from my sister in law. Who's called up my aunt on several occasions to ask for medical advice too. One of the topics is my aunt. And the dominoes cascaded in a line. That's where the unfounded hate from my mother in law is from.

I've greatly distanced myself from my grandmother over the last decade because of her narcissistic tendencies and the batshit things she's said to me (can't count them on both hands anymore atp) so I don't really care what she does on the daily. But my aunt is a wonderful woman that wouldn't hurt a fly, and now she's hated by two mothers in law: hers and now mine, because they're both narcissists who can't cope. I just feel like putting them in a room together and watching until they start clawing each other's eyes off because that's what narcissists do to each other after a while of being in close proximity. The way they've been feeding off each other is disgusting but it all makes sense now. My mother in law has also started hating my grandmother from my mom's side, because my other grandmother has hated her for years for being born in a village. It's the dumbest reasons and they're making me feel sick.

Anywho, the thread's unraveled now. And I had to share because it was a comedic level revelation last night.

i am....overwhelmed skdjdjjd this is wildddd and also like so rude to your aunt??? like she has genuinely done nothing to earn this contempt at least not from your mother in law?? 😭
