I'm Sha. Old enough, Dutch, ND, ball of anxiety, and supposed artist/writer. Every interaction is a struggle, and I don't mean to be abrasive. I might reply late. Waiting for the mythical bot purge so my follower count goes to zero where it belongs.

Honestly, I just need (art) friends. People to get along with, to share resources and joy with. And OCs. But in the most general sense, people like to receive and rarely want to give.

Would still prefer to return this account to art (perhaps with a sprinkle of autism shit) though. Wish I could just block (US) news.

My main art struggle is probably that I don't know what my art should look like, so it never looks good. (Also anxiety, but that mostly relates to posting.)

If it exists you can refine it — but it must exist first. Make the sketch. Combine the ingredients. Try the routine. Be not deterred. You can make it perfect faster with the experience gained.

Me (to a little boy beside me in a cafe who is wearing a yellow coat): Nice coat. Little boy: Thank you. It means when night comes I can hide as a star. Art by Penny Neville Lee. Words by me.
A line drawing and block colour-little boy in a yellow coat, shoes and pointy hat surrounded by large yellow stars and a crescent moon.

I hate ai. I hate the ai-fication of every facet of life. nothing is real. the images are fake, the products are fake, the websites that host these images are fake. creativity and curiosity is stifled by the ai-ification of search engines. the internet is junkspace now. everything feels like spam.

The Discover feed is suddenly just completely ruined, and "show me less of this" is now painfully obvious in how it doesn't work. This site is rapidly declining, it's wild.

In the past month or two I've learned there are artists out there who are only able to draw themselves. Not just same face syndrome, but straight up their own face. It's very odd. I think diversity is a hallmark of a good artist, so it's quite the disappointment.

Art shares are a fun and kind concept but in practice they're just annoying spam.

Alright yall. The secret to being successful as an artist... is to just make things you like. Because success isn't the big job in the end, but genuinely enjoying your work. My big portfolio pieces from my professional jobs rarely give me the same joy looking back as, say, a sketch from the bus.

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

Normalize inconsistency in your art. Normalize not making every art piece super detailed and intricate. Normalize just creating art for the sake of it.

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

For people who are frustrated with their art progress, focus on making it bring you joy. What makes you unapologetically happy? What makes you excited to draw & indulge in art? Improvement can be frustrating & takes time, but as long as you're enjoying the process it never feels like wasted time 🥰.

In a world that's built on purpose to wear you down until you're nothing, simply making art and being yourself and even just loving... they're truly acts of rebellion.

I need people to understand that there's no such thing as ""bad art"" when it's created by a genuine passionate human Yes, the art can be flawed. And art is subjective. But regardless of what you personally think, someone creating something out of sheer love and passion is always good.

Was considering posting a sketch I'm actually quite pleased with, but my discovery feed suddenly being full of people aggressively pretending alt text isn't extremely anxiety-inducing makes me not feel able to, haha. I have the wrong disability.

So after talking to so many of you at Lightbox I want to share something I talked about many times: There is no race to “make it” in you art career. Doesn’t matter if you are a student, new grad, 25, 35, 85. I didn’t get my big break until I was 32. Take your time.

Fred Rodgers on the importance of making something even if other people don't think it's good had me crying this morning. Passing it along for anyone else that might need it.

Sorry y'all But I'm that one artist who will show a WIP and possibly NEVER finish it as I leave it on the pile of "unfinished artworks that I'll never touch unless I feel like it but that's unlikely as I'm lazy and have other plans that interfere with my current plans and that's called sleeping"

I draw slow not because I actually draw slowly but because I can only draw for short periods of time during random hours on random days whenever my brain allows me 🤡
