Life Hack From Art School: Instead Of Saying You Cant Draw Something Or That You Dont Like Something

life hack from art school: instead of saying you cant draw something or that you dont like something about your art, just say the element “wasn’t working”

had to change a pose because it was too difficult to draw? it “didn’t work” compositionally!

feel like something is off about the background? it doesn’t suck, it’s just not working for the piece!

art is all about finding ways to convey an idea or emotion in a VERY subjective way, so thinking about it in terms of “working/not working for this piece” instead of “good/bad” is very helpful for me personally. it’s a small step you can take towards having a healthy outlook on your work!

I can’t believe they oblitered straight men like that

This is an island cake I made for my grandma's birthday.

The cake is chocolate and the jelly is mint/ mojito flavored.

[ID: 3 photos and a video depicting the same cake. It's made to look like two island one slightly wrapping around the other one. There is blue jelly in place of water. Islands are quite dark with green vegetation and sandy beaches all around. There are waves painted on the jelly and the underwater portion is made to look like black and white coral reef. There is "sand" around the base of the cake. End ID]

The situation in Poland is absolutely awful at the moment. Abortion is illigal and pretty much always was but recently the leading party stripped woman from that right even more. What they did is unconstitutional and inhumane. They decided to ban abortions in case of fatal defect of the fetus (for example no brain). They are forcing women to carry and give birth to children that will die shortly after being born in horrible torment. Polish people started the biggest protests in years the motto is "Jebać PiS" (fuck the leading party) and "Wypierdalać" (get the fuck out). Please read more about it.

[ID: phrase "Jebać PiS" meaning fuck the leading party in Poland is written in black ink in copperplate. Above it lays a fountain pen. End ID]

....y'all shit just won't stop happening.

Apparently I've had copays building up that I didn't know about for my therapy appointments and I owe them like $400 dollars before I can see my therapist or psychiatrist again. They'll do payment plans but I still can't see anyone until it's paid in full. Also can't get my ADHD meds but that one was a given already and I can deal without them.

I'm essentially split between the decision to pay for therapy and get kicked out of University or pay for my college and pause therapy for an indeterminate amount of time. Either which is like incredibly soul crushing and I'm not sure I could handle it.

If anyone wants to help it's highly appreciated, in the meantime I'm gonna be begging them to make an exception because I am like on the ledge and not okay right now. But yeah. Even if it's just like a couple dollars it adds up and maybe I'd at least be able to get my ADHD meds if nothing else.

Or if you can't donate (which is fair, things are tough for everyone right now) please reblog. Thanks y'all.
