Quick Art Dump For The New Year!

I needed this in my life so much

I just had a small epiphany why you might like other people's art more than your own:

It's the lack of suspension of disbelief.

When you see something someone else has drawn or painted, you take in the content faster than you take in the technical aspects. You experience it as pseudo-real, the same way you stop perceiving animated characters as drawn or book characters as written as you get into the story.

On the other hand, when you yourself have made something, all you see is the machine behind the theater, so to speak. You're probably thinking about lines, shading, coloring in a "does this make sense? Is this the best decision I could have made?"-kind of way.

I think that's also why sometimes, pictures you haven't looked at for a long time starts looking nice to you again, à la: "Hey past-me was unto something! Why can't I replicate it nowadays?". It's probably specifically because you've forgotten the process of making it that you are now seeing it with fresh eyes.

Art is an illusion, but a magician has a hard time tricking themself. So don't be so hard on yourself: it's probably just that you can't see the magic right now, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

Since I’ve broken my silence and ceased to be a lurker, might as well post something else. There’s no going back anyway. Finally had the time to sit down and just draw, it was great! After I got past the 3 hours of troubleshooting pen tablet problems caused by windows ink. Have a little sketch of my current mood *throws into void*

Week 5? Idk???: mushroom

Heavily inspired by Stanley, my favorite li'll mushroom from spiritfarer and parrot waxcaps.

Proud of this one, condensing his creation down into 40 seconds was tricky.

Week 4?: clouds

Here we go, one fluffy boi! Probably shouldn't touch them though, they're charged with electricity.

break is over, and I already feel like I need another one. Anyway, I'm experimenting with different rendering methods, so have a messy drawing of me being tired.

Who knew Infinite Painter had an isometric grid tool? Because apparently I forgot. Anyway, be prepared for tiny cute houses!

???????

Why do my own posts keep showing up while I'm scrolling?????? I only have like three, wtf is this???

Minecraft shenanigans

At this point, I'm just going through the reblogs on this post and adding art when people ask. Hope you like cats.

Tumblr is shit for artists but I’m really bullheaded and I don’t want to move
