Would Rather Be In Space

Reminders to myself (and any other artsy people who follow me i guess)

-You don’t get better at drawing by avoiding drawing until you are better at drawing.

- You don’t have to make a new masterpiece every day it’s okay if all you drew is a doodle of a bug. You are now +1 bug doodle better at doodling bugs. 

- Also it’s okay if the thing you drew didn’t turn out very good. Everything you draw makes you one step closer to being able to draw good. You are still +1 step better at drawing whatever you drew no take backsies.

- You are the only person who knows if your art didn’t turn out as good as you wanted it to. You are the only person who can see the things in your art that weren’t what you imagined in your head. No one else will know unless you tell them.

- Comparing yourself to other artists just isn’t fair. You get to see all of your art, the best stuff and the worst stuff. You usually only get to see the best stuff other artists make. You don’t get to see that half drawn badly propotioned face they drew at 2 am and immediately scrapped. So don’t compare your badly drawn 2 am face to their best work.

- Just keep making art. The only way you can really fail is if you give up.

Last illustration for school.
This ended up being a weird piece for me, I had to use a different coloring style than normal because I got screwed over by being the only graduating senior in my class and ended up with two days to paint the final. And...

Last illustration for school. 

This ended up being a weird piece for me, I had to use a different coloring style than normal because I got screwed over by being the only graduating senior in my class and ended up with two days to paint the final. And then, halfway through both the original and back up psd files corrupted and I had to paint over a jpg of the wip. But it turned out pretty nice for all that trouble.

“ I want trees instead of gravestones, nothing to confess…
”
One of my teachers told me that my best art happened when I didn’t fuss over making everything perfect so this is…more experimental I guess. Experimenting is good right?

Finally done with this, if only because the deadline was today. This is probably the most complex thing I’ve ever drawn but it was a lot of fun.
Please full view this!
