PSA your art skills will not rot and die like an atrophic limb if you take a break from drawing for a while

gay-milton-quotes

I stopped drawing consistently almost four years ago, and only picked it back up again recently. There's still things I'm working up to doing again (human anatomy hard), but I've been pleasantly surprised at how much I've retained what I learned.

Will you have to get your muscles back in the groove? Yeah, somewhat. Technique and precision take some time and patience.

But will you magically forget everything you learned about color, light, value, anatomy, the way paints mix, the way graphite smudges, the menus and settings you like on photoshop, how to visualize a form in three dimensions, etc etc etc? No, of course not.

Making visual art has fundamentally changed the way I see the world, & I know I'm not alone there. When I see a leaf on a tree, I notice the way the light catches it, the exact warbly shape it makes every time it shifts in the breeze, in a way I never could when I was first learning. A person never ever stops being an artist.

Was talking with my therapist about how I get myself some sense of achievement in everyday life, and I told her that I occasionally give myself little secret self-appointed tasks, where the only goal is to manage to achieve some completely random, pointless, arbitrary goal without anyone else finding out or asking me about the whatever weird shit I am currently in the middle of doing. There's no punishment for failing to do so, I don't dread any kind of an outcome, nor is there any other reward for succeeding the task, than managing to succeed in it - a little challenge with no other goal or purpose than being a little challenge.

She said that this is very interesting, and asked me to name an example of one of these quests that I've given myself. I froze, drawing blank, since my current arbitrary goal is to see how long I can go on without having to explain to her what furries are.

the offer that greg makes to tom in that room about "giving [tom] some" or whatever he said is phrased so ambiguously and then they closed the door and tried to hide behind the whiteboard like it was obviously intentionally meant to make the audience question what horrors we were about to witness.. and i can't lie, i was frozen in fear like a prey animal at the thought that i was going to watch the most awkward handjob in television history
