img that says “got a really crazy art coming up in the next 7-8 years. Stay tuned.”

drawing of an anthropomorphic orange tabby maincoon cat in a white shirt and dew rag, black gym shorts, and holding a bag of cookies and a cellphone with a silly emoji coming out of it. the character is making an expressive face

here's a good distraction for today. I drew a fursona for fellow quake mapping member @rudiarius.bsky.social. he's not a furry, technically neither am I, but I did an earnest job. he posts videos of him feeding neighborhood cats and I thought it made sense to make him one. orange tabby maincoon rep

Focused practice is also really important. Every time I struggle with something, I spend extra time on it. Every challenge becomes an opportunity for growth.
Design a project around a specific weakness, try things that are a little more ambitious than before.

The thing that got me the furthest was just religiously watching tutorials and trying to make studying "fun." I would spend hours doodling silly characters with friends, giving them as accurate anatomy as we could manage just for the fun of it. I much prefer that to dry repetition and copying

I did take an actual mentorship at one point, and I feel like it taught me a lot, but I don't think it was pivotal to my development. It felt moreso like test-driving an art job? I learned all about concept art, and that was fun, but I already had a lot of skills beforehand

Using the term self-taught almost feels disingenuous with how many resources I've used.
I owe a lot of early headway to YouTubers like Sinix, Marco Bucci, Proko, ModernDayJames, etc., but also to everyone that helped to sorta "mentor" me along the way

I've been dreading having to abandon clip studio and move to krita but I managed to get it working under wine using bottles!!! got it activated and everything too.

I've been recovering from all the art I've been doing these past few weeks and I decided to finally install linux on my main computer
