Artist Self Love Blog
10 years ago
I'm thinking about making an artist "Self Help" "Self Love" blog.
I'm pretty sure that I know what I'm talking about when I say that almost every artist gets art demons. Little things that tell you that you or your art is not good enough.
And I'm surprised at how little I have found on the internet with little pick me ups for when I get like this.
If anyone is interested comment below.
Regardless I think that this is going to be something I do.
HAPPY FRIDAY'S EVE~!

In art groups hardly anyone comments or likes on fb -c- unless its a damn burger i draw derp eye on no art effort a joke)
I try to do memes and nobody comments a.number (those 1.winter lothes,2.swim wear..etc for the oc and others SEE its up and do it and get 5 or more comments..my aquantance/friend saus i draw to much and i am like "so you see the spammage but not a single like or comment :/ its like me and my characters are invisible..nobody sees what i see in them..and if i wrote nobody would read their story..but eventually i wanna write anyway..script form ..but eh..it be nice to have self love...
I do love my babehs...but that is what hurts me most...i see what others can't or won't
I understand the feeling it's always really annoying when work you put a lot of time into gets no credit but something mindless gets all the credit. Or someone that you feel might not have the same amount of talent as you do, gets more credit and it's like...what.
In the end if you continue drawing and writing for you, and are still able to love it, is fantastic. : 3
I honestly wish that I was still able to draw as much as I used to. In 7th-8th grade I used to be able to fill up 100 page sketch book in a month. Now I'm struggling to fill a 100 page sketch book in a semester.
Those "draw this again" memes are an awesome way of showing yourself how you've progressed. I recently re-made a drawing from less than a year ago and I was amazed at how far my anatomy has come. I recognize where my struggles are and I try to conquer them drawing by drawing.
Those are some of the best things. It's nice to see old work and being able to point out you've grown but to redraw it just solidifies it. <3
We've gotta find ways to show people to love their art! Those little art demons are tough to fight but I think a blog like this will help people so much!^^
The hardest thing for me right now is coming up with a username that sounds alright?
We really do. And again it's such a -normal- thing I'm surprised that there's not more online to help people with it.
