Anonymous asked: hey mod, any tips on how to react more positively to art that's way better than mine? i'm trying to change my mindset so i can feel inspired instead of inferior but i have no idea where to start :/
it’s hard! and don’t feel bad about that- it’s a natural reaction and a lot of that is because artists are often self deprecating, but the thing I started to do was make little changes to how my brain was saying it; “oh man, this art is so much better than mine…” became “oh man! this art is so good!” and “I wish I could draw art like that…” becomes “hey, I wonder if I could try drawing art like that?”
it might seem silly, just changing the ‘words’ of how you’re seeing things, but if you start to ‘rephrase’ your thoughts more positively, then it becomes genuine and second nature- which helps you not beat yourself up, and prevents you from becoming bitter and envious of other people. You can actually start looking at the wonderful art you’re wanting to emulate, and start to think about how it was made, and what exactly it is about it that makes you love it so much! which helps you both learn and actively want to feed your own style, but it also actually makes you appreciate the artist’s work itself more, so… it’s really hard? Learning not to observe good art with a negative slant on your own in comparison, and everyone has days where they can’t, but if you can then everyone benefits, especially you!
folks wanted to see the botw Gladstone horse so here’s all of them (sorry for awful pictures I took on my phone ‘cause I ain’t got a nintendo account) :’D
Magica and Gladstone are the fastest shit alive istg, also if I ever catch that Royal white horse I’m calling it Donald but Donaldo was the first I caught so it’s gonna hurt to let him go…
With Net Neutrality on the verge of being axe I’m starting to really worry about my future here. This is important to me an probably any artist who uses the internet to gain a living. We need as many people voting against this as possible.
