Any advice on how to create something everyday? I feel like I'm unable to draw anything anymore and I want to keep creating so desperately
Making some kind of art you can actually hold or even use is rly motivating in my experience, like some kind of sculpture or jewelry or ceramic pottery. You can make something with whatever materials you already have, doesn’t have to be anything crazy complicated it could be as simple as modifying some thrifted clothes.
something ive been doing lately is just having a photoshop document open that i use like a sketchbook for drawing anything, whatever self indulgent cringe shit i want, and keeping it to myself. and I'm still practicing and improving my art skills doing this. its this outlet for only myself and no one else and i go back and refine or redraw stuff if I feel like it and it lets me be motivated soley by enjoyment of making art rather than by positive attention from others.
Also you don’t have to create something every day if you can’t. Especially if you’re trying to make something new every day lol, I don’t make a new thing each day even though I work on art every day, I’m usually just working on the same few things for a while.
You don’t have to draw to create something either, you can take a break from one kind of art and do something else

Maybe this makes me sound like a crazy person but the more time passes the more I’m convinced that the way someone reacts to furries is a litmus test for what kind of person they are. And I feel pretty justified in this bc conservatives have made them part of their culture war. Like you’ve got mainstream media convincing a bunch of boomers of the litter boxes in schools hoax. It’s just another iteration of moral panic over society becoming degenerate or whatever. Obv not everyone who’s shitty about furries is doing it for hitlerite reasons but I think it shows how easily a person can become comfortable being cruel to socially and/or sexually deviant groups of people if it’s socially acceptable to do so, or how easily they can be pressured into that cruelty by a fear of ridicule
saw a tiktok of a mother taking her very tiny daughter to an art museum and she’s just walking around going “whoooa” “woooaah” to everything but then they got to a marble statue of a nude woman lying on her back and the girl points and goes “mommy🫵” and i just immediately welled up with tears and all the comments are just laughing about it and of course it’s funny but how are you not insanely moved by the way art connects everyone on earth from a centuries-old sculptor to a toddler in 2023
