💖 resting is an important part of making art. Take time to inspire yourself and take care of your body.

💖 Take care of your hands and arms and do lots of stretches when you draw.

💖 Draw what makes you happy! It’s normal to draw the same subject hundreds of times.

💖 Draw in the style you like! There’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration from others.

💖 There is no such thing as ‘pose theft’– however if you reference another drawing it’s polite to thank the artist for inspiring your work.

💖 There are no subjects, elements or themes that it is wrong to draw or make art of.

💖 Even simple, basic or derivative drawings are beautiful, meaningful works of art.

💖 If your art is not in a style that is considered commercially valuable, it doesn’t make it any less worthy as art– no one was going to commission Picasso to draw a manga!

💖 If you draw, you are an artist!

💖 If you draw, your art is inspiring, beautiful, and meaningful.
