i know beginner artists are annoyed at the word ‘practice’ being thrown at them by every other artist but i honestly think some of you need to understand the harsh truth. practice is really the only way to improve your art. there are no shortcuts, no tips, no nothing that can turn you into that artist you wanna be. i’m still learning but i knew that frustration well a few months ago. but i had to learn the hard way that i wasn’t going anywhere if i didn’t work.
you 👏will👏not👏get👏better👏with👏out👏practice👏 !!!!
you will not magically turn into a ‘good’ artist overnight. start working. look up references. study anatomy. practice poses and expressions. PRACTISE
I have +/- 28 years of art experience. Get out of here with your collective two year bullshit and bitterness. Talk to me in 25 more years.
gee ive drawn the same anime girl facing left a million times but im still no good at drawing cars lol practice is such a brush off term at least tell em to follow some tutorials or experiment a lil as well as practice
its not a brush off term, i think youre takin it the wrong way. if you wanna get good specifically at drawing cars, obvs you specifically practice drawing cars- practice is still the answer.
the most telling thing about the political climate this year is that usually my dash is filled with 4th of July posts by now but there’s been absolutely nothing… like nobody can even find the strength to post ironic eagle memes are you guys alright over there
These are the kind of people who raise a guy like Clark.
My goal is to be as welcoming as the fucking Kents. Like honestly I’ve always gotten the feeling that, whether Clark is home or not, if any of his family or superhero buddies come over and need ANYTHING they’d be like “Oh you must be one of Clark’s friends! Come in we have pancakes on the stove. Do you want any milk?”
“Yes, being in a female dominated field, I do know what it means to be marginalized. “
oh
my
god
omg
oh my fucking god
The really ugly part is they’ve actually done multiple sociological studies on this, and guess what the result is? Men in female-dominated fields aren’t marginalized at all; they get special treatment and are fast-tracked to the top, getting more credit for their work, faster promotions, and greater pay and benefits than their female colleagues.

This post managed to hit 20k with minimal discourse and I’m just glad I’m not the only one who’s tired of this.
(Same with any other agressively defended unconfirmed headcanon/AU. Like, write whatever you want but aknowledge what’s your HC and what’s confirmed.)
est part is, we aren’t actually killing these industries. these industries are killing themselves by refusing to make the changes necessary to be able to successfully market to us
The reason most millennials don’t make a scene when an establishment doesn’t treat them right is because we function more on positive reinforcement than negative reinforcement. For Boomers, they can make a scene because they know negative reinforcement gets them what they want; they want to PUNISH these establishments or workers, but Millennial purchasing patterns are very different.
Growing up in the computer age, we’ve become masterful at filtering junk information, and that includes advertising. It doesn’t matter how much a politician or restaurant or whatever memes, we’ll find them funny, but we’re still not going to shop there or give them our money of we dislike them. The way brands become successful with Millennials is actually just word of mouth.
So when an establishment treats us poorly, we don’t make a scene. We simply never go back and don’t tell our friends about it. Conversely, places that treat us well we immediately go tell others about.
The simplest ways to get Millennials to support your business is to give them good economic value for what you sell (Boomers can think we’re irresponsible, but we’re actually quite thrifty), you have to treat us with dignity, but ALSO, you have to treat your WORKERS with dignity. Unlike Boomers who get off on laughing at someone working at McDonald’s, we’ve all had to work shitty, underpaying jobs and we don’t like when we go to an establishment and see workers mistreated and poorly paid, because WE’VE BEEN THERE, and we don’t want to contribute to that gross abuse of the working class.
These rich CEOs can complain that Millennials have “no brand loyalty” or that we’re “killing XYZ industry,” but the truth is that selling to us consistently requires ethical business practices that most of these companies are unwilling to partake in.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
