'how to draw x thing in y amount of time' how about we stop assuming that every artist is able-bodied huh! Maybe it takes me an extra half an hour to work on any line work bc my arthritis is super bad!! Maybe it takes me an extra two hours if I'm having a bad shaky day!! Just stop putting times on your art tutorials!! That extra information about how long it takes you doesn't make you look informed about art and how it works, it makes you look like an ass

#this isn't about the general label of like 'this took me roughly ten minutes vs rough my two hours' this is about the 'how to draw a full #*roughly*#body in seven minutes' 'how to do a complete painting in 30 minutes' like bruh stop assuming the ability level of people accessing ur tut #some of us can take like twenty minutes on a single sketch and some of y'all will really be out here like 'here's how to do art super fast!#reminder that ur art isn' good if th process isnt consumable or if it takes a different amount of time or a different application method'#I remember how much frantic googling I had to do when my arthritis was flaring up really bad bc all the tutorials for holding brushes and #pens only made it worse I had to look up something abt Parkinson's and gripping utensils before I found something that helped #idk I'm just real sick and tired of the art community's assumption that every body producing art is the same so tuts come down to #manipulating an abled body. like maybe I just wanted tutorials abt color interplay and shapes and maybe digital tips but nooooooooo
