On The Surface, It Looks Very Convincing. The Biggest Clue That This Is A Scam Is The Email, Which Links

On the surface, it looks very convincing.  The biggest clue that this is a scam is the email, which links to a .de address. (The only official Patreon messages you receive will be from “bingo  AT patreon.com”)

 Please spread the word so nobody falls for this!

Me: I love drawing, look at all these incredible things I've made. I want to draw forever.

Also Me: I fucking hate drawing. Fuck this. I'm not fucking drawing anymore. I quit. Everything I make looks like crap. Fuck art.

i think there’s just a misunderstanding so i made a tutorial on how to properly reference something and not being scared about getting in trouble

i hope this helps !

30 Days of Art Improvement Challenge

Are you tired of feeling like your art just isn’t improving? Do you want to do a 30-day challenge that’s actually useful? Welcome to 30 Days of Improvement Hell. >:D

I made this because I’ve been feeling super ‘blah’ about my art these days, and I needed something to kick-start myself. Who wants to do this with me!? Start now or whenever you can (now you procrastinators!). Challenge yourself and have fun at the same time!

Tag your posts with #Improvement Hell so everyone can follow along and see each other’s awesome artwork. I may even create a blog and reblog them! :D

What are you waiting for? START!

Let’s have some fun. Design a character from this character generator. (created by PreservedCucumbers)

Colors! Pick a color palette, and paint a scene/character/object using only those colors (some blending allowed). Bonus points for good use of lights/shadows.

Draw and color a scene/object/character - no lines allowed! (aka - lineless art). Don’t forget light and shadows!

Draw a scene/character in a style you’ve never drawn before. If emulating an artist, credit+link. Bonus for color style.
