THIS! I'd started to realize that sitting and hoping for someone else to miraculously write out my own ideas wasn't working.
So, I decided to give it a go myself.
It's a compulsion for me sometimes. I can't go too long without feeling like I want to draw. And that's how it's been since I was about 14 years, so many years ago. Being able to connect with other artists and creative is a nice bonus motivator.
it's like an instinctual drive in me to create things. i've been drawing pictures since i was capable of doing it and making up stories about the little characters i draw pretty much as long. satisfies an urge to have experiences outside the mundane, i think
Self-exploration as well as a coping mechanism, it’s also good to busy an over thinking mind.
That and just the objective idea of characters and fantasies is so damn cool.
People who dont get it i feel are missing out terribly.
At first it was because I could (no shame at 3), then because it's just because it's what I did, then it was because I had stories to tell, now it"s a combo of the three.
I like making pretty things in my head real, the coloring process is also very relaxing to me, and it also helps me process emotions when I make vent art, there's more reasons but not enough text space lol. Can all be summed up to I like creating things 🥰🤍
If you consider my Biggie eyelash from frontnuts tweet as art (a rather intelligent stance to take) than because I like to make my intrusive thoughts other people's problems
Well, was handed a pencil to write as a kid, I drew instead, then Sailor Moon came along and she has kept me in a headlock for the last three decades she's been in existence, my hand just kinda does the rest. 🫡
Because it's really damn cool. Have you seen how cool art is? how you just do stuff and then there's *stuff* and you can look at it and say "wow, i made that"
that's cool
There are so many gays living in my head and I have to release the gayness valve through art sometimes because I'm very worried about what will happen if I don't
Because I have a lot of characters and a lot of stories I want to tell.
I love using a different medium to explore themes and concepts we may not always think about in our world, so maybe it’s best understood by using a different world instead.
I enjoy it, even if I don't draw or do studies as much as I should.
I don't have my own style just yet, so I'm clinging to a handful of artists styles that I do studies of like a life preserver 😅
