@jay@ChloeCat no, stop, you don't understand what you're doing~!! :senkoflustered::senkoflustered::senkoflustered::senkoflustered::senkoflustered:
me on fedi: unhinged meme poster and artist
me in VC: :puniko_shy3: "umm, yeah I'm just vibin~" proceeds to just sit in call silently enjoying the background noise as everyone else infodumps
It takes me a bit to acclimatize to audio chats with new folks, I sorri :puniko_cry:
I feel the need to say this because a couple folks cite me as an inspiration to start drawing and I just heard a way of phrasing it that helped me articulate it:
"Draw every day" is bad art advice.
It's bad because it's incomplete. It's possible to draw on a consistent schedule that is not daily and improve far faster than someone who is drawing every day. The thing that's missing is the need to put together a study plan to consciously and intentionally address the areas and concepts in which you are wanting to improve.
@NumbersCanBeFun that is completely valid~! Honestly I love doing that too. The purpose of this post was just to catch those that might have found themselves stepping into that trap because it's remarkably common for such folks to practice a lot and not see improvement. Thus I hope I could save at least a couple people such headaches in that regard, hehe~
