@chiffonorange:
Yeah! Pintrest is amazing and has so many amazing posts on there but you're right not everything is credited,
luckily I've rarely found a drawing or photo I couldn't find the original artist to by reverse googling it. Which makes me feel a bit better!

@Keturah: Mmhmm. *nods* It has its pros and cons. Oh that's actually good to know! :o Hopefully the users actually credited the original artists this time or at least deleted the original art when requested (or asked?) by the artist as to respect their(original artist) wish.

@chiffonorange:
Sadly most artists don't even know their work isn't credit, it's rare someones approached directly by the artist and asked to credit or remove it so a LOT of art online is uncredited.
:(
Luckily at least artists like us can know better and credit where we can!

@Keturah: Oh dear D: That's very unfortunate and yeah, seeing dozen of art being uncredited from regardless of which site is just awful.

And I agree *nods*, it's better to ask any artist for permission to credit them regardless.

@MoodyBats: That's alright. It's normal to feel this way so it's not your fault. *sending you a thousand of virtual hugs*

@keturah: Yeah that is correct unfortunately :c and nah it's okay, I understand everyone has things to do in RL so I don't really mind. *nods* And thank you, same goes for your new avatar look as well! She reminds me of a fairy queen :3

@ChiffonOrange: im not blaming myself.
It just is becoming...irritating. Art is my depression escape
but i can't seem to art lately. lol

@Keturah: thanks.
I know i don't need to rush to create but art is kind of my escape
from severe depression so without it, I'm not in a good mental place.

@moodybats: no need to pressure yourself ~
it helps me sometimes to remind myself that it's ok to make bad art
or like, blobby color abstract pieces can be a good outlet wo any pressure for things to look good

i feel u though i've been feeling pretty down lately too
i hope u feel better soon <3

@keturah: what's ur current halo item btw?? i want one ~

@xvz: my body can't make art period.
Good or bad.

I feel more pressure because i actually have to replace my computer
before it all together stops working.
without it, there is NO art for me.
as it's been acting like it's breaking down, no commissions yet.
so i kinda..have to be stressed lol.

I just have no good ideas as of lately because lacking in anatomy skills.
and I don't want to post just to post if that makes sense.
kinda in a discovering myself as an artist phase and trying to find
what i like to draw.

@moodybats: ah i see, i'm sorry to hear that
yeah i remember you mentioning your computer last time, i hope you can upgrade soon ~

sometimes when i'm out of ideas doing some exercises can help me out of a rut
like timed figure drawings or anatomy/color/value studies etc. - doesn't require too much thinking or inspiration or coming up with stuff but can be good practice to get u out of a rut / give u pose ideas for future you
but if you can't you can't and that's totally fine, rest is important too

are there are things you do to feel better or to take care of yourself mentally/emotionally?

@xvz: My computer is about over $700.
So it's gonna take me a lifetime to get it lmao.

I don't do full anatomy timed sketches for gesture drawing as it's too much fo rme.
drawing a whole body, even if it's quick is too stressful for me.
It's like climbing a mountain. So I'm just focusing on one part of the body this month.
But hard to do it when you really don't feel it.
I don't really know how to study for value, and other fundamentals.
coloring i am not good at. at all.
my tablet feels somewhat restricting when it comes to blending.

I'm downloading a game to help me feel better.
idk if it'll work or not. so we'll see.
it often has bugs with the game/launcher.
but it's my fave game so we'll see if I'm able to play it.
if not then I'll just end up trying to draw.

@moodybats: ah i see
well i'm guessing art advice might not be what you want rn if you're feeling down
so feel free to ignore this lol - but coming from a fine arts bg i think even stick figures + focus on proportion + where things are ~in relation to each other~ will help you improve more instead of focusing on details - hence the idea behind gestures. and you definitely improve w practice! i think the nice thing abt timed drawings is that it's not a big commitment - like 5 minutes from now it'll all be over! and you'll have improved even if it's just a little
for value+color i wouldn't worry about blending, blocking out shapes is most important i think
but do what you feel like doing, art for the sake of enjoyment >>>

what game is it? i hope it'll work for you ~

@xvz: Yeah not really. :vanora_sweat:
it's not that it's not helpful but more so...i know what I should be doing
but my art schedule is kind of..out of balance.

it's called blade and soul.

@xvz: It's fine as I know you only had good intentions.
Just a lot of what you said are just things i already know XD
I just don't do them. because i have to convince myself a lot of times.
I'm a planner. if i don't think I'm working efficiently, i don't do it.

I'm also trying to stay away from the art i actually truly like
because i do want my family to see more of my art but the art i like they'd probably say was satanism
but i just like drawing cute demon girls but they would not approve so i am trying to draw more....normal stuff.
But cute...does not fit my art. or feels like something i enjoy.

@moodybats: ohh i used to be very planner-type too
i think now it's too rigid for me, i used to be super hard on myself for it but now i'm like, it's fine to be a blob
life is just a big blob anyway, anything worth doing is worth doing half-assed
(old me would disagree w that so i do understand the perspective)

and that's too bad! the world needs more cute demon girls lol
how much of your art do you usually share with others?

@xvz: Yeah so i can't really stop myself from thinking
"Am i working efficient enough?"
Like it's not being a perfectionist. I don't care if it's perfect.
But if I feel I'm not studying in the most effective way I'll stop and try something else.

Depends on what you mean on others.
Do you mean my family, my followers or here??
Sorry that part was not very clear to me lol.

If you need my attention for any reason please ping me.
