cannot recommend enough to artists that sharing your art online, especially on tumblr, is a horrible decision and you will inevitably regret it.
#making this post bc i wish i had seen something similar before i made my art blog.#now art i do not want to be shared and looked at is permanently on this site and permanently on hundreds of peoples blogs.#it's out there training ai.#it's out there being stolen and sold. i know this bc people on deviantart have outright messaged me to say#theyre taking my art and selling it to a client. 'but can i have your permission?' as if they haven't already sold it.#not to mention the lack of validation is like creativity suicide.#go on r/artistlounge and you will see post after post after post of people saying they want to stop drawing entirely because the complete#lack of interaction is so depressing and downright disheartening they cant bring themselves to draw let alone post anymore.#it isnt even being ungrateful.#artists who spend hours at a time on art get ten likes and maybe one reblog.#meanwhile ai 'artists' and stick figures get 100k reblogs.#people simply do not value art and they do not value artists. you are saving yourself so much heartache by just keeping your art private or#only sharing with people you actually know and talk to.
