art tutorials that focus on improving your art for the sake of followers and internet clout are soooo…….
#like I can understand the importance of building up a base if you’re trying to do art for a living but#there’s usually no indication of that specifically it’s always like…HERES WHAT TO DRAW TO GAIN FOLLOWERS!!!#like a ‘tip’ I’ve heard sooo many times is literally just. draw what other people like. draw fan art for series that are popular#draw what other people like!! optimize your work flow!!! post every day!!#like maybe I’m just an old lady sitting on her front porch in a rocking chair but. does that not sound exhausting#I heavily drew fan art from ages like 15-23ish#and like it works it gets you followers and it gets you attn and it gets your stuff out there!!!#and listen this is just my own personal experience which is why this all seems weird to me but.#finally putting my whole pussy into original work and realizing my own ideas fufillment wise…#like if fanart was caffiene then working on original stuff has been a full face of blow for me#I don’t know. getting recognition from people who share common internists is fun and the validation of COURSE feels good#but getting over my need to just please the crowd and working to feel less afraid of the vulnerability inherent to sharing original work#it’s just a WHOLE different ballgame and I’m really glad I’ve started to play it#idk. many thoughts. do what feels good but don’t become clout poisoned. u know.#not everything is about optimization and marketability. get the ideas and colors and shapes out of your head. it is our destiny#txt
