MAKE UGLY ART

Recently appeared on this plane. Last seen: Posting (in a serif font) and/or casting spells. my icon and header image are turned around on purpose actually its not like i dont know how to fix it or anything. my age is private information but if you feel the need to know it presume i'm somewhere between 18 and the age you are and treat me accordingly
maybe i shouldnt be going on random peoples posts and saying "i hope someone kills tim sweeney with a rock", but
thought this said sweeney todd. i am slightly tired
Below is a version of Meti's Sword Manual from K6BD rewritten to be about drawing, as I saw similarities between it and my experiences learning the fundamentals of drawing. That being said, dont take this as actual advice because it is a rewritten version of a swordfighting guide from a webcomic where god-emperors fight kung-fu angels and all kinds of nonsense like that. Credit also to the website drawabox, the source of my albeit limited knowledge of good draughtsmanship.
just realised ive been having way more fun Creating after i stopped trying to Be A Creator. you know? like im finally starting to fully comprehend how making things is something humans do like how bees buzz and wolves howl and whatever the rest of that quote is. a painting is a funny magic trick you do, and usually when you learn a magic trick you just brag about being able to do a trick instead of having imposter syndrome about not being a real magician. art is whatever you do when you play around and have fun and make something that might not be necesary for your survival, but which pleases you nonetheless, and capital a Art is when you do that enough of it that it becomes Your Thing. or when people like it enough that it becomes Your Thing. or something idk. my point is that artists have a tendency to get imposter syndrome and i think thats at least in part because of this notion that if you do art it has to be Art and to do Art you have to be an Artist. and you dont it does not matter. even now im starting to be self-conscious about this post and treating it like a capital-p Post that has to be capital-g Good. if anybody is reading this mess of words, i hope you remember that the ultimate judge of the quality of any artpiece is you, and that means you can cheat and say that everything you make is perfect actually. and i think thats good for your self-worth. idk.
