in one of the servers I'm in, we've been discussing looking back at your old art, and a couple people mentioned that getting compliments on their old art makes them feel like their artistic growth isn't as evident to other people as it is to them, or like they havent improved as much as they thought for people to still be complimenting their old work

but it's really not like that! Your personal perception of your art is inherently going to be very different to the audience. This is how i explained it in there & i thought i'd share it here as well:

A compliment on your old art doesn't undermine the growth in your new art, it's just admiring the qualities of your work that were already there!

Our art can change direction, our grasp of the fundamentals can get stronger, and this means our personal standards will always go up and the choices we would make creating a piece change, so when you as the creator look back on your old art, you're hit with a lot of "oof, I'd do x and y and z differently now".

But your audience doesn't have any of those hangups, to them youve drawn some good art, and when they look at your current art, you're making even stronger art, and both of them are worth admiring.

not that any of this makes it any less psychic damage inducing to look at your own old art LOL but putting yourself in the shoes of the audience and looking at it for what it is rather than how well it reaches your current standards can still help a little with that

to me, a masked or armoured person lifting their headgear enough to show the line of their lovely jaw or a hint of red from their bottom lip is the equivalent of a victorian maiden showing her calves.

Yeah methinks the rot has. Uh.

Putting em in this blog here to like. Isolate I guess. Consolidate? As with every sideblog I make. I think it got flagged as spam.

Too late for Offtober but seeing all the art reminded me of the Elsen friendship fic I made in 2020. I ended up making a prequel of sorts to it.

Pros of re-reading your own fic

a good time;

Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;

Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;

just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

Is that another TYpO

[yulogica]

The OFF rot is not. It's not leaving. I think. Maybe i should make a sideblog. Hmm

[yulogica]

Scene art. Because it has yet to vacate my brain. Not completely satisfied I feel like I'll end up trying to draw it better in the future.

Very urgent help🚨:

My heart breaks for my baby girl who was born through IVF‼️😔.

Hurry up to save my baby🙏lana💔 she got injured because of war and displacement 🥺

My story is that I tried many times to have children and I was unable to have children😔, except through IVF💔. Now my daughter and I are living in a war of extermination(genocide), and I feel very afraid for my daughter, whom I almost lost my life trying to have😭.

Now we have lost our home due to the war, we have lost our shelter and source of income, and I am no longer able to provide for my daughter’s needs 💔😭

Save my baby before it's too late🙏😟

really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:
