To all artists

:
Fellow artists face insecurities all the time, as you do.

Remember how good it makes you feel when someone tells you to keep up the good work

Be that person to another artist. Tell them they're doing a great job. It will make their day. Share the love

In the spirit of actively telling people you like their work, which is always nice, I thought I would share with you, the people I follow and the amazing art they do, or how they helped me with my personal artistic development.

Feel free to add your own choices as replies, and obviously follow, RT or say hi to any of these, if you like their work! One simple comment you do may mean the world to the person in the other side of the screen. If you like their work, let them know

I'll try to add as many links as I can for each artist, but if you find yourself mentioned and there's an important link of yours I (or the person who mentioned you) didn't share, PLEASE feel free to add it as a reply
