Are a lot of artists (who have previously worked digitally without qualms) feeling the overwhelming need to return to paper? I have noticed this change in myself. Itโs had a profound effect on my perception of life. I have 2 theories as to why this is.
Iโm beginning to think that the only thing missing that keeps many people from their greatest potential as an artist isnโt lack of natural talent, practice and mindset make talent, itโs having one person they love that sincerely believes in them.

I DID IT! So I humbly ask, if you've been following me for a while and enjoying my work for free on social, please consider supporting me on PATREON! And consider retweeting and liking this! This is a big day!
I feel like a completely different person than I was 100 days ago. My body feels better, my memory has improved and I donโt miss the constant guilt one bit.
I think maybe my face shape has changed since I quit drinking. And my eyes are white and shiny instead of that dull pink color all hung over people know well. Never going back! Day 208.
I have been a full-time freelancer since I graduated from college in 2015. This was not made possible by secret money. a lot of my family lived in trailer parks. There is a way to do it without being already rich, tho I imagine it helps
Could not give less of a ๐คฌ about how artists find inspiration. I wanna know how they make the low pay work. Like literally how many odd side jobs do they work, & if they don't work day jobs is their partner rich, or do they just have 10 roommates in their late 40s?
2. The threat of AI tools replacing us has made us realize the necessity of the Real Human Hand to Process. AI prioritizes Product over Process. Something we have been doing subconsciously as commercial artists. Digital art was a time-saver, a way to avoid an involved process.
was drawing a horse and said out loud "clip-clop, bitch, clip-clop"
turns out that's the step they left out of the texts. If you do this, you will successfully draw a horse every time.
1. Adobe products are becoming so ubiquitous that they have the ability to stop our ability to participate in Art (which is our livelihood/raison dโรชtre ) if they were to increase rates or change tools we find necessary weโd be lost.
