When white people act like ALL Black people, who range in a variety of skin colors and features, look alike, there’s no need to argue with them. Just do that shit right back.
How the fuck you get Oprah and Whoopi confused??? Jesus.
I actually can’t tell some of these white people apart. But Oprah and Whoopi look totally different. Not sure how you can mix them up.
-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.
Very wise advice, peeps.
It seems counterintuitive but while I don’t think you can necessarily get better at drawing by avoiding it, I do think that you can grow more enthusiastic about drawing and more creative as a result of taking a break from drawing and switching to a different creative medium like say, writing or graphic design. I know this works for me at least.
