A sketch of the death of milo of croton housed in the national gallery of ireland

Wild story this, all my lecturers were sick today so I just fucked off to go draw in the gallery today

I think my problem is my bed is too comfy every time I lie down I get consumed

I coloured in my sketches !! Now they're super delicious

I'm really glad I got back into using tumblr again, its just been a really pleasant experience and I owe it to all the people who have been so welcoming. Hey if you're reading this thats you, Thank you

How do you handle negative feedback or criticism of your art, especially when you're trying to gain visibility?

This is a very good question !

Dealing with criticism can be really tough sometimes, but I believe it's important to draw the line between what is actual criticism and what is a negative comment (source : my college professors)

Art doesn't exist in a vacuume and we all need to receive criticism from others to grow as artists but ironically you have to be critical of your critics and that requires being able to take a step back from your emotional attachment to your art and assess it objectively. Could I do this better ? Are the proportions off? Does this drawing accurately convey what I want it too?

These are important things to ask yourself, and admit to yourself if the answer sometimes is no. Not everything you make is going to be good the first few times and not everything you do is going to be good. Its healthy to admit when things look a bit shit sometimes. You need to make hundreds of shit drawings before you make one one good one it's better to get the bad ones out of your system quickly.

In terms of negativity that's where criticising your critics comes in, you don't have to be an expert to give criticism online not everyone telling you to change things has your best interest at heart and if they don't then what they say is irrelevant to your art journey.

A really smart person once told me "you have to believe in your art because no one is going to do it for you" and that means when you make something worth being proud of you take the time to feel proud of it even if it doesn't meet other people's standards.

I already posted a Vash so I thought I'd make a Wolfwood to match they're kind of a package deal
