Hey Anon Friend, I am so sorry. I was not around today at all (my son’s B-day “party” was today and we have been out)
You are doing nothing wrong. You do you. You go at your own pace and don’t rush into anything. Just because your group has doesn’t mean they were ready or not pushed to it by others. Things will happen when you are ready for it. Don’t get all tied up in a knot about it either. Keep being you and don’t compare yourself to the person standing next to you. As far as you know, they would rather be you.
Hope that helped a little.
Have a peaceful night/day.
Thank you! Sorry I didn’t answer yesterday. It was my son’s birthday and day 1 of celebration. Today is day two, his party with friends.
Have a lovely day my friend.
I keep running out of room on my main hard drive. Realized last night that Steam accounts for 300 GB. Holy smokes. In the process of moving my steam files to a backup drive. This should be interesting to see if I can still link the interface with the backups or if I’m going to scream in agony
edit: To the two Anons basically calling me a liar:
………happy……..
For my two normal followers and the two porn blogs following me for some reason
Always and anytime.
Words to live by.
Thank you.
Have a peaceful day/night.
Oh Anon Friend, I’m so sorry that you and your mum are going through this. While I know it’s pretty damn scary, most “moles” or skin melanoma if caught early are absolutely treatable by excision. It sounds like she caught it early and maybe it’s benighn as well.
My father, my uncle, my brother and myself all have had to have “melanoma’s” removed. It’s a pain but not too bad. We all get checked once and year and I’ve never had a recurrence. My father has but then again he is almost 80. Our entire family spent a lot of time in the sun growing up and back then we didn’t use sunscreen (we used sun oils!) We are paying for it now.
Anytime a doctor sees or is told that a mole has developed, they send you to a specialist.
Talk with your mum, let her know you are concerned and would like to help out as much as you can. She probably needs the support right now as much as you do. Even a hug would go a long way.
Stay strong, your mum will need you. You can do this.
Try and have a peaceful day/night

Hope you had a fantastic day as well!
Hey Anon Friend, Hmmm, no not true exactly. I do love my friends both male and female but I don’t “LOVE” them as in the romantic way. My guess is that the movie maybe wanted to be mainstream or get mainstream viewers for sales or the person who wrote the copy on the back never saw the movie, so got it all wrong. No if you confess to your crush and they ‘crush” back, that is romantic love, crush whatever you want to call it.
I have to tell you also that men also will tell each other “love ya man” type of things and it is not romantic. I’ve known my friends a long, long, long time and we are very comfortable letting each other know we love them.
But we are not romantically involved. Loving your best friend in a romantic way is still valid. Always has been, always will be.
Loving our friends just as friends is also just as valid.
Does that help.
Have a peaceful night/day.
Why do artists refuse to use references why why why.
It’s not a contest to see who can get by without them. It’s not cheating to look at a thing in order to know what the thing looks like.
You don’t get stronger or better by pretending. Nobody is impressed by the awkward whatever-it-is you just drew. Use references.
I don’t think a lot of people know that it’s not cheating. I recall seeing so many piece of art called out because they referenced a pose, someone recognized it, and then proceeded to shame them for it. There’s this belief, both by creators and the audience, that artists should just be able to translate the ideas from their head to paper, and if they don’t, it’s plagiarism, or not true originality (spoiler alert: there’s no such thing).
I myself didn’t start using references until very recently, because even I was under the impression that it was frowned upon. And that belief has seriously crippled and stalled my ability to improve as an artist.
As a restarting artist, I can confirm. I just never knew. I thought you were just supposed to know how to draw the body correctly and if you didn’t you had no talent.
(( I am going to say this again, loud and clear for everyone:
USING REFERENCES FOR ART IS NOT ‘CHEATING’!!!
If you can draw/paint without references, great! But if you need to use them, and feel that your art can be bettered by using references, please, use them! This is one of the biggest tips I can give to artists, is USE REFERENCES!
Anyone who would dare to attack someone for using references after ‘recognizing a pose’ is a dipshit, who doesn’t know a thing about art.
Do you know who else used references for their art?
Norman Rockwell
Alphonse Mucha
Gustav Klimt
Toulouse Lautrec
Vincent Van Gogh
Paul Gauguin
Edgar Degas
Gil Elvgren
Frida Kahlo
Pablo Picasso
Disney Studios
And thousands of others! So, artists! Go forth, and use references!!! ))
What do you think artists do when they ask someone to stand infron of them for 6 hours and then they draw this person. Do they cheat? Or when they place a still life and then paint it, cheating again? LOL
#literally one of the biggest fears I have #is for some douchefuck to dig out my reference #and point at it and say that I’m not a real artist #I don’t want you to dig out my references to prove that I didn’t make up a realistic picture out of fucking thin air #that’s not how art works #but especially on this site it happens CONSTANTLY #it’s so fucking scary #when people who’ve never touched a pen in their lives think they’re qualified to judge you #and ‘reveal’ how you’ve ‘scammed’ people
Soooo. I made this post originally on my personal blog (I’m eliciaforever), and it was nothing more than a little rant about a specific incident that I deleted after five minutes. But before I could delete it, it took the hell off on me, and now it has all these notes. And LOTS OF AMAZING INPUT.
And I just wanted to add in response to the above tags in particular, that shaming people for using references is something that happens to so many of us SO OFTEN. It doesn’t matter how skilled you are. People think art is supposed to be magical or whatever, and anything else is a crime. The reality of course is that art is a thousand times more deliberate than a lot of people think it is.
So yeah. Good info to pass along. Use references, kids. <3
Reblogging because I think it’s important especially for young artists to gain the confidence to use references.
Seriously, references are esssential! Use them!

@bristlee1 I tried but ugh…it’s so frustrating l.
@lissachan504 😀I keep buying new ones because I KNOW it’s not because I’m a untalented hack when it comes to watercolors! It just has to be the tools I’m using…….right?!
Watercolor is easy! And fun. Life hack, Watercolor pens (pens that wont smudge once water is applied to the paper) Watercolor colored pencils (Makes it easier to do shading) all you do now is wet a watercolor brush (Soaks up more water and holds it in) and paint!
@septic-airi omg. I never used those before! @bristlee1 pencils?
Watercolor pencils are what I use. That’s what I used to do those:
Here is a tutorial I used to help (it’s in french but pretty easy to understand
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88tMuNDTmrE
@warm0candy That’s because you have talent on the arts! Thank you my dear, I will take a look at the tutorial!!!

I’m really sorry to keep reblogging this post but this project is really important to me and i can’t even start on it because i only have a total of 5 submissions
Community members: We have another person in need. Can you please go and give @nicxan some encouraging words. Please, even though they are not of these communities, they are friends of those that are here. They are having a really bad day and a few kind words can go along way.
Thank you
Hey Community please go give some love to @katfox89 Remember, you would want someone to if you were in their shoes.
Thank you.
Nice.
Have a peaceful day/night.
Hi There Anon Friend, Hmmmm, I stopped writing along time ago but below are some ideas and information on overcoming writer’s block. For me, like an art block, I just sit down and do it whether or not what I create seems like crap. I know that I will be inspired again. Don’t be hard on yourself though. Your talent hasn’t left just on a short vacation. Go looking for it. Find some writing prompts, change your scenery, change what usually inspires, try new things.

Does that help?
Also, thank you!
Have a stupendous day/night.
Hey There Anon Friend, Oh my gosh, I had a job a long, long time ago that I worked at night in a security booth and I had to find all kinds of things to stay awake. One of the things that I learned was to get a regular schedule just like you would if you were sleeping at night. Meaning go to bed at a regular time so that you get the same number of hours of sleep each “night” for you. Second, find things that will stimulate your mind. I took classes (there were no online classes at the time) I just brought my homework with me. Try something new. If you don’t draw, learn to draw. If you don’t write, learn to write something along those lines.
As for balancing your work and social schedule, you will have to make that decision as to which for now takes priority. Just remember this job will give you a jump to your next if you do it well. If you give them the proper time (2 weeks notice when you leave) and do the job well, they will be your first company that will recommend you for a new job. Your friends should understand that you have a job. Make plans with them when you have time off or time during the day. You may have to reach out to them as they will not know your schedule.
Like all things, this will be temporary and your next job may just be that M-F job.
Hope that helped.
Have a peaceful day/night.
Awww, that just made me feel so good but really??!!
(very good also with the combo)
Have a marvelously peaceful day/night
Hey Friend Anon, yes it is.
Do note for all new followers. Yes, I am older than you. No, I do not want any of your personal information, ever …..unless it is a life or death emergency. Not that I haven’t made friends on her and some in IRL BUT they are all over 21 (the ones in IRL). I have no desire to get myself in trouble nor you. Nor do I want to make anyone uncomfortable.
If you ask for advice, I will give it to the best of my ability BUT you may not like the answer. I am a mom in IRL to a teen. I have been a teen. I remember being a teen. I remember being a young adult. Times have changed and I’ve tried to change with them BUT…..I am older than you.
I actually love when followers call me mom, mama, or any derivative thereof (sheeeeesh, my son still says mommy when he’s sick but not like a baby but usually yells it across the house in his new changed deeper voice).
Long winded answer to a simple question. Sorry but I didn’t want you or anyone to be uncomfortable with the answer.
Have a peaceful day/night.
Ahh thank you my dear. I hope you have a stupendously wonderful day as well!
Warm mama hugs.
