The more experience I gain in life the less qualified I feel to give advice on anything lol. I used to get on here and offer unsolicited advice in the form of general tweets and threads bc I thought I was sharing knowledge and being helpful but honestly? Who cares, just do you https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤧" title="Sneezing face" aria-label="Emoji: Sneezing face">

General advice like “You gotta hype your own art!” or “Don’t abuse chromatic aberration!” Comes off as weirdly controlling when shouted into the void and is ultimately better received when it’s provided as specific feedback to receptive individuals https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏻‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging (light skin tone)"> who cares, let ppl live imo

Draw whatever you want, however you want, as much or as little as you want https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏻‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging (light skin tone)"> we all have different goals in life and we all operate differently https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏻‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging (light skin tone)"> just enjoy things as much as you can and do what works best for you that’s my only advice these days

Ok but, all this being said, there is one general piece of advice that is truly evergreen: if ur undercharging for your art..... raise your got damn prices https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

And if you’re commissioning an artist who isn’t charging enough, tip them..... generously https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😇" title="Smiling face with halo" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with halo">
