Artists! If you’re reading this and considering buying that new piece of gear you feel like you *need* to take your art to the next level, take some advice from me: you’re right. You should buy it. It’ll probably make you almost instantly better. Hard to imagine you’ll progress much without it

I know I have a hard time starting new illustrations, but I'm certain having a tablet at my convenience will make it easier to take advantage of the Mood™
(Seriously, the semblance between them is uncanny - large, full-arm movements.)
While it might not make you "instantly better", sometimes it can help you achieve things you couldn't practically do before.

It's definitely the gear, grrrr...
