this post from loish really made me think a bit. i stop myself from drawing intuitively so much that it’s a reflex at this point. somewhere along the line, “follow the reference” got so drilled into my head that it didn’t just leave when i learned anatomy. and it really built up frustration in me overtime with how stiff and soulless my art felt.

but i really do love the shape of the human body. the muscle pushing itself out and the fat deposits settling in and how things overlap and how weight sits. how bones structure everything, how tendons and ligaments connect everything. i guess i just need to have some faith that i’ll catch myself if i need to relearn how to do things from the ground up.

#art stuff #doodle #idk... ive just been slow cooking thots recently as i do LOL #shape language is scary and when i was younger in a more immature mindset i always looked down on simplification #and then i thought i couldnt ever do it so naturally #but i think maybe i can figure it out #i genuinely struggle so much with figures im constantly double-checking and second guessing myself #rather than just go with the flow #anyways #art thoughts #i also want to add that i feel like there are virtually no resources for autistic people to learn art #and the kind of way we think more specifically #but maybe that's just something that i struggle with
