any published/popular creation that kind of sucks, especially comics, can be a great personal motivator for making the same kind of art. like good art will motivate you to say "i want to work hard and make art like THAT!!!" but middling to bad art will get you pumped up with "i could make something better without even trying that hard--turns out all I need to do is start!" and "no skin off my back if it turns out bad, after all, THAT got published!" truly a unique kind of optimistically spiteful motivation
Some art I forgot about 🏃 I did this back in February and have evolved since then; I don't draw Sonic characters like this anymore lol (they have fully been oc-ified in my sketchbook... it may be cringe but I am free)
I wanted to sketch a bunch of characters that I hadn't really drawn before, along with my favorites. Espio, Maria, Eclipse, Chip, Sage, and the Chao were all first-time drawings!
did you know that you can draw whatever you want
As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.
