hmm i see posts frequently that are always just a list of ‘do’s and don’ts’ when it comes to art and how to use colours and it’s kinda a snorefest 

instead of telling artists, especially young artists, what is and isn’t good based on your own opinions of art alone why not suggest to them different methods of how to draw, how to use colours, etcetc. the ‘don’t do this’ and ‘this is the only way to do x thing’ stuff can go.

telling artists to ‘never use black for shading, it’s never good ever!’, ‘don’t ever do x and x!!’ when there are many ways to use colour and many ways to draw that you’ll personally find appealing??? theres so many ways of going about making stuff n these tips just feel a bit limiting and boring 

this is just a little ranty rant n probably not all that coherent idk i’m tired of seeing posts like that is all

    I agree, to an extent. Like there’s this one post that like “never use these colors or else they’ll look dull” but they...
