Okay so, I reblogged this on an alt, but I really think this is something important for a lot of people to think about.

A lot of my friends tell me how easy I make it seem to draw, when in reality, it's extremely hard. But the thing is- I've felt that before. It's really difficult and really time-consuming and sometimes even painful to draw when you're just getting started, or even a few years in.

I've drawn each and every day since I was eight, maybe even younger. When you have nothing else to do, you learn to perfect what little you're good at. And it's really humbling, looking back at all of your younger self's art, thinking- oh man. I made this. Isn't that crazy? A lot of people I've known have really deprecated themselves for not having art as "good as" mine. But the thing is - that really doesn't matter! The praise is awesome, and I love having traits that impress people, but at the end of the day, that's not what I do it for. I do it to feel happy about my own accomplishments, and to get lost in these worlds and people I create, and, more importantly, to express myself. But, looking behind the scenes, a lot of artists only post their best pieces. A lot of artists don't post sketches, vent arts, practices, or studies; we just post our best works. I really couldn't have put it better myself; what you're seeing isn't something I'm just magically able to create, but something I've spent many, many years of my life perfecting. Behind each drawing, behind even each limb, lie hundreds upon thousands of different pages laying in a bin somewhere, all of my scribbles and struggles and sad days coming together to form my art- and who I am now.

Any of you who feel bad about your own art, please don't. Beauty is riddled with imperfection. You are no less perfect than life itself. You don't need to have spent as long as someone else for your creations to have just as much- if not more- merit. You've taken nothing and made something. And that's a very hard thing to do.

Shoutout to all of the shitty little pieces that got us all where we are today. It takes a lot of bravery to put yourself out there, especially when you're feeling insecure or minimal next to someone else... But the thing is, we've all been there! A lot of people feel just as shy as you without you even realizing. So reach out and make connections and don't be scared. You're worth it :]

behold!!! a huge load of my crappy old art. I have just as little direction now as I did then; back when I used crayons to color, and didn't know what lineart even was, and used pure black and white for shading, and my hands would shake so bad that I'd leave dots and never clean it up because just reaching out that far was so exhausting. Back when each and every background was white- or, if I was feeling fancy, a stolen photograph from a photography amino. Back when my designs were cluttered because I thought that more detail meant they were better. Back when I cared very little, yet cared all too much at the same time.

People really never change. So, TL;DR, we were all shit at one point. being shit is part of the process, and it's what art is all about. Just have fun and remember that you're loved by someone out there. Promise.

I know that like. Logging onto social media and looking at dozens of artists posting dozens of their finest works can make those people feel like idols on a pedestal. Some sort of unattainable vision of creative talent.

And sometimes I wish people could see me back when I was really getting serious about my craft and how everything looked like shit, and it drove me crazy. All the times I spent literal hours drawing one hand and it was wonky anyway, so I crumpled up the paper. My really off perspective exercises. My character designs that were kind of hard to look at because of all the clashing elements.

Sometimes I wish people could pause for a moment to fathom that like. I have drawn every single day for almost ten entire years of my life, and that's how I know how to draw anything at all. And I cried over my work station. And I drilled myself on anatomy exercises and gesture drawing and perspective and color and even more still because I'm still learning.

My online portfolio isn't just the piece I finished in a few days. It's years of my life I spent to be able to draw that piece.

hey guys!!!! so, I just realized I haven't posted in a while. A long while. Too long even. I haven't really been drawing anything big recently, and I've been hitting some style changes; most of my art has been traditional, but unfortunately I can't post that anymore since my phone recently broke. Should be getting a new one sometime, just not sure when.

Anyways, I did draw a couple new things that I'd love to show off to the denizens of Tumblr!

These aren't anything incredibly major, but they are really cute, and I'm really proud of them.

so, ye :3c

also, collabing with a friend on a video soon and I'm looking forward to that. keep your eyes peeled!

byebye for now!!!

#my art #transformers #digital art #mecha #maccadams #nightbeat #jazz #idw #mtmte #g1 #g1 Jazz and IDW Nightbeat specifically here :3c #also just a reminder #please if you use these as pfps - you can say @thilsiktonix on tumblr #but I'd really prefer you to put a direct link to the post you took it from #“credit to the artist” or “pfp not drawn by me” does not count #and I- as the artist- will be staring at you with more disappointment than your parents could ever muster #bye stinkers!!!!

I've been feeling under the weather lately... But, I've started conceptualizing a potential charm design to cheer me up. I'd be just ordering them for myself and for friends, but my goal is to maybe branch out to other characters as well :)

pls don't print this out yourself

I have also gotten... short-term addicted to picmix after finding a random ATSV spot edit on my dash lmao

so I made these four!!! first one's a nostalgia mix based on y2k / early 2000s and even 90s aesthetics, second one is just a personal one that represents who I am personally, third one's Wheatley, and fourth is Benrey from HLVRAI!

please DO NOT repost these!!! link back to this post instead!!!

if you use them as profile pictures or banners on discord and other sites, please just credit me somewhere in your bio or status :) 💖

This is great, tysm! I'll let you know if I need any clarification later ^w^

oya, quick question!

I'm not good at interpreting language, how would your pronouns ne/nem work in a sentence if you'd be willing to demonstrate?

Oh no worries!

Ne goes down to the store and buys nemself a soda, and ne checks nir wallet for the coupon ne thought ne had but ne can't find it so the ashier winds up charging nem full price.

I think that covers all the relevant forms - ne like he, nem like them, nir like their/nirs theirs, nemself like themself. Lmk if it's still confusing.

Woo! Finished up with another OC reference for myself. I am happy to say that I have successfully turned another OC into a catboy.

I live without shame.

Coming in with a quick sketchpage!

Don't have much to say about this one. It was kinda a vent piece. I feel much better after drawing it. My favorite has definitely gotta be the bottom right. What are your guys' favorites? :)
