Theartnerd - The Art Nerd

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate every +Like I can get, but to be honest +likes don’t do shit for an artist. No one will look through your +likes except you. If you really like an artist give them some exposure, yknow? We work really hard and will appreciate any feedback we can get!!

Random art advice;

draw what makes you happy

work with your anxiety not against it

if working in a sketchbook makes you anxious, draw on printer paper or index cards

that way if that shit starts pissing you off you can literally toss it across the room

if one medium is giving you trouble try another

take a break from digital to work traditionally or vice versa 

draw from reference

trace over reference with the intention of internalizing shapes 

take what you love about other’s work and incorporate it into your own

if you need to work but are having trouble focusing, set a repeating timer

dick around for ten minutes and then work for ten minutes

if the timer goes off and you still feel like working, keep working

be kind to yourself

draw when you can as much as you can

do NOT beat yourself up for not being able to work

working in pen or marker can help you overcome fear of permanent mistakes

it can also help you work quicker and looser

do your undersketch in blue pen/marker and go over it in black

make corrections with whiteout or white gel pen

when you want to draw but don’t know what to work on, start by drawing circles or other shapes

fill a page with nonsense doodles

warm up your wrists

do the bean exercise

just fill a page with beans

draw what makes you happy

How do I know I am a millennial? I require no explanation for anything entertaining. I show my folks a funny video of a cockatoo having an argument with a dude jumping on its empty cage, and they’re like, Where did you find this? Why is that happening? I don’t know. I don’t care. It was on the Internet. That’s the only context I can give you.

do not compare yourself to leonardo da vinci
