In a valiant effort to get myself to chill the frick out in the midst of academic chaos, I was listening to some of my old favourite songs, and this one (Mary’s Song from Taylor Swift’s first album) sure did give me some MAD FEELINGS BRO! And it reeeeeaaaaaally made me think of these guys, so obviously I had to make something with maxed out nostalgia and fondness stats

how unfair is it really that you don't get daily asks complimenting you on your art?! :O It looks super effortless, and it looks great. it is very, very neat and makes me feel stuff. i love it. (have I said already how unfair it is that you don't get ask after ask full of praise ? :') )

Thank YOUUUUUUU I honestly appreciate this so much! I cannot express in words my facial expression when I read this (but i promise it was a very very happy face).

It intrigues me that you mention that my art seems effortless- I often find myself looking at other people’s art wishing I could have their apparent ease and clear lines and detailed colouring or whatnot (before of course reminding myself that my art doesn’t have to have the same qualities as that of artists I admire for it to be worth making!) Recently though, I’ve been working on being less worried about spending forever trying to be perfect, especially if I haven’t yet developed all the skills I need would need to expect perfection- and instead allowing myself to freely create whatever comes to my mind, no holding back. Maybe it doesn’t feel entirely effortless, but at least it’s spontaneous and unrestricted! I feel like I’ve finally deeply accepted that we are all just doing our own thing, and that thing doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth doing. I love telling little stories with my doodles, and the fact that it might be enjoyed by people like you makes it all the more worth it:)

ANYWAYS, that was a whole monologue that I didn’t mean to go on, but thank you so so much for appreciating my art and sparking this self-reflection! I am going to go finish a sketch that I started when I definitely should have been studying farm animal physiology. Here is a cheeky little sneak peek if you are so intrigued:

“Come on, we’re going on an adventure!”
