Reminder- using reference for art is NOT cheating. Depending on what type of artist you are, you should absolutely be using it. All highly skilled pro artists I know use it. Art isn't a party trick, we don't have to be in the business of impressing ppl with the process. Don't hold yourself back.

I just wanted to say... YOUR. ART. MATTERS. Whether you are quick, slow, toss every sketch, get lost in fanart, are obsessed with your OCs, do landscapes only, have a large following, or none, do it for fun, or money, or just because you can YOU ARE VALID YOU ARE AN ARTIST. YOU MATTER!!!

a gentle reminder that you don't need to wait to be good enough to write or draw the things you wanna draw you get better through creating the things you wanna make, not by waiting to become better to make things

Idk who needs to hear this but using reference isn’t cheating and needing to look at reference doesn’t make you any less of any artist and tbh if anyone says otherwise they are toxic as all hell.

Portfolio advice, from a lead who hires Concept Art (Originally a twitter thread I wrote before the site self imolated) I wrote this after a weekend of portfolio reviews- 1. Like a maths exam, please please show your working. I want to see thumbs options, mid options and of course a final design.

Most people don’t know this, but building an artist’s career isn’t just about talent. While skill opens doors, it’s persistence, adaptability, and the courage to keep learning that truly shape success. Talent may spark the journey, but resilience keeps the fire burning. 🔥

Laudna - The worst thing has already happened to me #art #fanart #criticalrole
Digital Art of Laudna from Critical Role. Looking back at the viewer, smiling slightly. A red noose winds around her neck and the silhouette of a hanging tree are faded into the bg

Hello people of Bluesky! I am new here! c: To kick things off, I want to share this painting I made with you. I combined the “Horns”-prompt of a drawing challenge with a study.

Time for another reference dump! This zip file contains 2,566 photos (6.58 GB) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art arms and armor collection. I tried to focus on the types of details you don't see in most available reference, like hinges and fasteners. Enjoy! drive.google.com/file/d/1emF3...
A shot of an eggplant-shaped samurai helmet sitting on a wooden stand in a museum display case. It's made of darkened metal and has gold trim and accents.A closeup shot of some buttons, fasteners, and ties on a small section of a samurai armor set's front chest plate. There are various ornate patterns, complex knots, and overlapping pieces.A closeup shot of the thumb and forefinger of a European steel gauntlet inlaid with gold. It has bronze rivets and a white leather glove under the overlapping finger armor pieces.A closeup shot of an extremely ornate double barreled shotgun's firing mechanism and trigger. The hammers are shaped like squirrels holding nuts and there is floral filigree everywhere.
