In class our teacher held up a black book and was like “this book is red” and we were all like “no” and he said “yes it is” and we were just all like “that’s not right” and he turned it around and the back cover was red and he said “don’t tell somebody they’re wrong until you’ve seen things from their point of view”
fun prank: go on dA and look for awful, beginning artists who draw cats/wolves on ms paint and comment on their picture and tell them how great it looks and that they should keep drawing because they’re going to get better and better, and to not be a dick about their drawing skill because they’re still starting out and learning!!!!
DRAW THEM FANART. DRAW THEM FANAAAAART. I’ll always remember the older people who humored me when I was an 11-year-old drawing cats and Pokemon, and when they drew my “OCs” I didn’t get over it for weeks. I still have some that I printed out and put in the front of my binder.
You don’t have to become a mentor, and you don’t have to tell them anything about their art that isn’t true. But you CAN make them shit their pants with just an hour or two of your time, and some of them won’t ever forget the first time someone acknowledged their creativity.
