No One Can Draw Like You.

No one can draw like you.

Here’s the thing: with practice, just about anyone can learn to draw photorealism. And yes, that is VERY impressive. I love photorealistic paintings and drawings that make me pause to take a breath because I am astounded at the level of detail that someone took the time to create.

But when that artist shows their style, a coloration only they could create, a world no one else can see until it’s on paper - wow. No amount of photorealism can replace the limitless human imagination and I’m thankful for each piece of other worlds I get to see.

No one can create exactly like you. You are the only one who can put your world on paper, or tablet, or napkin - only you can create the worlds that your hands can produce. What an amazing power you have, what a special gift, what a wonderful thing!

You are the architect of something incredible. No one else can create like you. Never forget how amazing that is.

Me, an artist:

Why did you become an artist?

ive always hated making money and being taken seriously

You’ll find your style.

How to help your artists - The circle of influence.

So over the past 10-15 years, as I’ve been trying to branch out, grow a following and sell commissions, there’s one phrase I’ve heard more than any other.

“I’d love to support you, but I have no money.”

And you know, I get that. I understand. I don’t have any either. But here’s the secret. The most powerful and useful thing you can do to support an artist? It doesn’t cost a penny. Reblog their posts, signal boost their commissions, advertise their patreon./ If you have commissioned them, or do support their patreon? Write a review, tell your friends, share their links. Keep circulating the tapes.

Every post is an artist laying themselves bare before you. You have the power to make them into somebody. You can make them into a big name, you can help bring them an income. All you have to do is share.

Here’s a handy infographic.

If artists get only likes, they never get any exposure. They find no followers, they make no money, and feel worthless.

But with reblogs, who knows how far they could reach? New people could see their work and follow them, and maybe one person will spot that commissions post or patreon promo, and maybe offer to help support them. And it didn’t even cost those followers a penny to reblog the post.

So please, anyone out there. If you enjoy an artist’s work and can’t afford to give any monetary support, you can give them something more powerful. A voice.
