man I'm feeling sentimental and this year was so hard for the artists so I say fuck new year's resolutions and I'll just wish for all of us to fall in love with drawing all over again.

I hope for this, too. And even though I'm no artist, my desire to keep art as a strictly human endeavor led me to doodle my own image for an article I wrote. This depicts "bridging the communication gap." It's terrible & I love it & I plan to do it more often now.
This concept READS, though, is the thing; you may feel like it’s rough around the edges, but you need to understand that you’re putting in the work to communicate an idea through the visual medium, and you SUCCEEDED at it. Your art is coherent and charming, and I sincerely hope that you keep it up 💗
i wished platforms like Instagram didn't throttle reach and engagement... and kept lying to our faces about it - with a smile! :D
It is very discouraging posting into the void and it messes with confidence. I am happy bluesky exists now and hope we will all continue to thrive! 😼✨🎉
While not drawing, I had to take some time away from music because I couldn’t sit in front of my keyboard without feeling dread. I did eventually get past it, and been working on having fun playing again.
Honestly so healing to read others feel similar, I haven't done personal art in ages, and I'm starting to feel like "does art" is not part of my personality anymore like it was since I was...10yo??? which is really scary.
What I wouldn’t give to be able to draw every day again. I look back then when I first joined the furry fandom, and envy the passion I once had. It’s still inside me, but takes a genuine and tiring effort to bring out. 2025, I’m making an effort to make more art💛

It's been really difficult for me to find my love for art this year; truthfully I even contemplated quitting.
Although I know next year will be difficult (cuz... yknow), I hope I can atleast learn to love art again.
it's all about communicating ideas via visual medium, I'm glad you're having fun with it 🥰
