Obsessed with Eartha Kitt’s absolute power move of risking her entire career to drag Lyndon B. Johnson’s bitch ass so hard that his wife started crying
life hack from art school: instead of saying you cant draw something or that you dont like something about your art, just say the element “wasn’t working”
had to change a pose because it was too difficult to draw? it “didn’t work” compositionally!
feel like something is off about the background? it doesn’t suck, it’s just not working for the piece!
art is all about finding ways to convey an idea or emotion in a VERY subjective way, so thinking about it in terms of “working/not working for this piece” instead of “good/bad” is very helpful for me personally. it’s a small step you can take towards having a healthy outlook on your work!
