That’s me. Seriously.

The same shit

Yyyyyyep.

oh hey look it’s me

oh god me
I wanna cry on how accurate this is

yess this is so accurate

OH LOOK.
MY LATE NIGHT NIGHTMARES IN WORD FORMATION.

I can understand this fear all too well. That was pretty much me a few years ago. I currently work for a celphone company and to be honest, I figured this was just going to be a “for now” job. But I actually found something that I’m great at and I plan to make it into a career.
I still love art and to see art, and to read about art. The Arts will forever and ever be my passion and I can’t still my heart when I think about it.
But please don’t feel like you are “stupid” or that nothing else will matter if you cannot make it in art. You can still create wonderful things even if you are doing something else.

I totally agree with Jen on this. I also love art but I decided not to have it be the focus of my career. I don’t like having all my eggs in one basket so to speak.. instead I have a career in something else which I enjoy and give me an income to live from. Have I given up on art? No way! I do it in my part time and enjoy it. The only pressure is my own to get better but I don’t have to worry about “making it or DOOM” Be willing to explore other options while still keeping art close to your heart.

I went ahead and made a tutorial about a pet peeve. Remember kids if you fail at this I will fight you

but … that looks more like they’re looking out of the corner of their eye or that their pupil is “migrating” across the iris or something?
i mean, look at me, i barely even draw irises anymore, but
this is the kind of thing where i’d rather look right than be right, you know?

To be honest I like how the “wrongs” look better that the “right” ones

Kiwi Dump: baddragondildo: Just because a person is able to draw well doesn’t...

baddragondildo:

Just because a person is able to draw well doesn’t really mean they are going to become a famous artist. The world doesn’t owe them that (or anything, for that matter.) Art is an extremely competitive field, and while it’s a shame that very good artists go unrecognized, it’s…

THIS!

Just the other day a person in my art circle was complaining about being better than so many other artists and yet being unrecognized. she also went into the whole “being owed something” idea… First of all, she isn’t… and shes good but not GREAT. Even if she was great, all she does is sit and complain that no one knows who she is. I’m not a great artist myself but I get more faves, pageviews, comments etc. Why? Because I promote myself, I get into contests, join clubs and oh i dont know TALK TO PEOPLE. Also I dont complain about how unknown I am. I’m happy just getting some feedback and comments. In the world we live in with the internet connecting so many of us becoming a famous artist is near impossible. You have to work at it and be happy with the attention you do get.

Yaya + Guinea Pigs by *MysticEden
When MedusaCanibal posted some new pics of Eifersucht on facebook I knew I had to draw one. I picked this one because it had her adorable guinea pigs and has a less difficult expression.Honestly I was very happy with the lineart and would have been happy toning it manga /comic style and leaving it at that but… I wanted to push myself and color it. The process was not easy… instead of the happy times I would have had inking and toning by hand into the night… I had to squint at the computer, use a mouse and learn where everything was in CS5 for all this color business. >=pFor the most part I like this pic. The coloring isnt terrible and I am proud of how the lineart came out. Now the biggest problem with this pic is how the expression and flow in the piece is not very dynamic. The original photo had a much more extreme expression which I could have further exaggerated in the drawing but instead did the opposite.. ugh >_< I need a lot more work on dynamic art.
