When will internet artist remember that tracing is a key part of learning art?? Like obviously don’t trace someone’s work and like sell it for a profit or something like that. But tracing as a whole? Girl I was tracing things under my teachers instruction all through my after school art classes to learn where to shade. They’d have us trace outlines of things and fill them in with all the correct shading and details. They’d have us trace the same thing over and over until we got a feel for where things would go. That’s why light boxes exist, to trace with. Tracing isn’t some big evil art sin, it’s part of learning. Obviously don’t be selling art traced from someone else, THAT would be stealing since you’re making a profit from someone else’s art. But tracing for practice, using a base etc? Literally not an issue at all. I’m begging y’all to take an actual art class and hear it from a teacher yourselves.

Can we please stop telling people they need to monetize their hobbies? Maybe I just enjoy drawing. For fun. Ever considered that?

funny art show and tell time

looking at old art files to try and remember how I organized layer stuff back then and I love how you can see in real time my "professionalism" dissolve as my eye-sight deteriorated (still is and getting 2 pairs of glasses is like $350 and u bet yer ass I'm overdue for new ones) and my patients waned

Until eventually it looked like this:

my big flaw is that I think if I somehow draw a cool enough piece of art it will magically summon cool artists to be friends with me

Me: (minding my own business while drawing)

A stranger: "Wow, that's really not that bad" Me: "..."

Stranger: "You've got really bad Same Face TM though you should practise more drawing different people, like people have different shapes. They all look like the same dude."

Me: "...they all are the same dude."

You'd think the 1 in 1000 goattee style life choice + eyepatch would give it away
