ideas of exercises to help with your practical art skills, as well as things to keep in mind while making art and new ways to find inspiration:
- draw every day
- recreate a drawing you did before, but better
- draw something using only simple geometric shapes
- do studies of famous artworks
- listen to artists explain their work, it’s super interesting
- take life drawing classes (or use online photo resources)
- find an artwork you love, and work out why
- draw caricatures of friends
- set a 1 minute timer and draw an object as quickly as possible
- draw something you can’t see, eg. music, emotion
- research artists you admire and find out how they work
- think about composition: what stands out, what recedes etc.
- find a famous artwork you hate and work out why
- sit outside and draw the landscape
- copy a photo exactly
- draw a scene from a film
- draw the contours of an object not the outline
- visit an art exhibition near you
- draw your bedroom
- look up tutorials online - there’s so many useful ones!
- practise creating contrast between light and dark in pictures
- research colour theory
- do a self portrait
- learn about art history! Research different movements etc.
- try a new medium
- consider the feeling you want to portray with the artwork
- draw without looking at the page
- draw a character from a book you’ve read
- draw something you don’t usually draw
- look at your pictures in the mirror to help you see problems better
- follow artists and galleries on instagram for inspo
- draw an ugly object in a beautiful way
- try using only bold, bright colours
- plan your colour palette before starting an artwork, and stick to it!
- if you usually work in 2D, make something in 3D
- always remember to add shadows
- draw an object which is important to you
- use 5 lines to depict an object, make every line count
- draw using negative space
- always draw from life when possible!
- think carefully about which direction the light is coming from
- study proportions and anatomy!!
- draw your pet
- research items symbolic meanings in art
- make an art blog to compile images that inspire you
- draw using only straight lines
- try accentuating any subtle colours in an image
- draw models from fashion websites
- sketch with friends! They always have great ideas
- keep drawing even if you find it hard, you improve with every mistake!

Don’t let depression stop you from being that bitch
There’s so many different distractions that are keeping people’s attention away from the problem. And it’s done purposely. It’s done on purpose and I constantly say how do you fix a system that’s not broken? It’s working exactly the way it was designed to. It’s working perfectly. It was designed to oppress us. It was designed for us not to be rich. It was designed for us to be in the lower tax bracket so to speak. So when you have people that are desperate, desperate for … when the riots kicked off in Baltimore and they called it looting, and I’m seeing people taking toilet paper, and food, and Pampers, is that looting still? Or is that necessity shit? That’s shit that they need. They don’t have the money, they can’t afford it, so obviously hey, I gotta go get this. My baby need it. But, people look right past it.

The second girl at least read the book to confirm that it was shit, she even had Capote on deck as backup. Chick 1 is just lazy

Nope. Girl 2 saw that Girl 1′s absolutely accurate analysis was being shut down just because it wasn’t stated in an intellectual way (in spite of its validity). So Girl 2 reinforced Girl 1′s opinions in solidarity and made sure that it was absolutely clear that Girl 1 was factually correct. WITHOUT taking credit for her observations (”kim is right” instead of “Actually, kim”)
Girls supporting Girls.
Girls not letting other girls be treated poorly.
Girls not letting dudes who think that everything written by drug addled cishet white dudes is somehow Edgy and Important shit all over the opinions of girls who are like “No actually this is incoherent crap written by a manchild”
