They can have some joy and whimsy. As a treat.
if tumblr shuts down we should all develop car crash fetishes and form an underground community that reenacts famous car crashes for sexual pleasure

i might repost a later thing of this with more detail on the shading and in better quality :)
Something very discouraging I keep seeing happen over and over again is how quick transfems of colour are thrown under the bus once they stop serving their purpose as a rethorical talking point. It really sucks witnessing supposedly leftist white transfems calling for solidarity between us but immediately turning around calling their brown sisters disruptive and self righteous when they rightfully point out something racist that was said.
I don't know it's just very alienating knowing brown trans women will be dropped and singled out as being pick me girls for transmisogynists the second they start talking about racism within the community. It's deeply frustrating.
“ITS NOT FAIR HOW DID PEWDIEPIE GET SO GOOD AT ART SO FAST IN JUST A YEAR WHEN IVE BEEN DRAWING LONGER THAN HIM AND MY ART LOOKS WORSE”
im gunna say this as gently as i can, in order to improve your art, you have to put actual effort into doing so aside from simply “drawing everyday.” Drawing every day is good advice and has lots of benefit, but unless you are engaging in constructive practices while you’re doing that daily drawing, your art WILL remain stagnant.
Engage in critique with your artist friends of a higher skill level on what you could improve on, watch videos about art and how to improve your art.
study artists you like and pick apart exactly what about their art is appealing to you personally and apply that to your work. Contrary to popular belief, art does actually require lots of effort to become good at.
Theres plenty of resources out there. USE THEM.
