I did the 6Artists challenge and drew Xander in the style of 6 Twitter mutuals who always draw such amazing Xanders! I highly recommend following them if you have a twitter ~

It was such a fun challenge drawing in vastly different styles that I admire. I would love to try this again someday!

that’s it. that’s the comic

Im so used to seeing negative artist comics. this is refreshing!

I-I…. this was unexpected

I’m sorry, I was gonna scroll past this but then this happened.

Listen, first: With all the self-depreciating comics we see on tumblr that talk about how hard art is and how much we hate ourselves… can we just appreciate someone loving their art for once? And not bring it down (with a shameless plug nonetheless?)

Second: All artists go through the struggle of finding their voice and making something that they perceive as good. It’s why we relate to those self-deprecating comics so much. But to say that this comic is false and unrelatable means you don’t get why artists make art.

Because we do have that experience of finishing a piece and feeling happy and proud of how much we’ve improved. We do feel wholesome when we struggled and didn’t give up on a piece and finally can see all our hard work paying off. This feeling is what makes us want to keep doing what we’re doing, to keep improving. To say that an artist isn’t an artist unless they’re struggling/ constantly unhappy with what they do is a downright toxic mindset. Shouldn’t we be supporting positivity in a community that promotes bad and unhealthy work habits and treats suffering as something you NEED to be good? 

Sure, it’s true that most artists struggle,are wanting to improve, and are unhappy with their work, but that doesn’t mean we’re not allowed to look back on what we’ve done and just be proud of what we can do and just love our work for once without having people think we’re narcissistic cause we don’t hate everything we do.
