#the pressure on begginer artists to immediately pick up fundamentals instead of giving them time to figure themselves out first is wild

[fruit-kick]

i think the first step to doing anything is to fall in love with it first. like if youre getting started on art as a hobby, you should take your time and fall in love with it before pulling out all the fundamentals and grinding

this falls into the "you don't have to be good at it immediately" sentiment, but i just think it's easy to burn yourself out if you don't let yourself breathe before diving into all the complicated jargon

it's okay to start and just fuck around, experiment with shit, make fucked up pieces and then Get Serioused when youre ready
