Wise words. Mines more about finding what direction I should take or if I’m learning the right ways to do it.

That's the beauty of it, you know? It's like....there is no one direction. And even if you choose one, you might just leap off the path into something else, sometimes without warning. Has there been a right or wrong way to do it? I don't....personally think so. Maybe, if you have an objective.

I used to doodle about on napkins and pieces of school paper. Now these days I'm using a super outdated 2004 edition of macromedia flash to do art. I'm sure one or two people would say I'm doing it wrong or could do better.

I don't..think that's how I'll grow healthy with my art. Maybe it's just me. I just don't feel like there is one true or "right" way. It's just you on the paper. All of it. And no matter where you are with it, you're beautiful.

You have a very poetic artistic way about you. Thank you.

Love your human monster romance. Especially where they are actually look like monsters.

You're a very kind person <3

Words of the wise~

Thanks for your comics like this. They're always nice to read.
I'm 30 and my art still looks terrible. I didn't start loving myself until recently so I wasn't able to make anything without immediately discarding it. Now I'm fine with it not looking great yet. It's just a matter of being tired all the time from work. I'm doing my best to draw a little bit at a time but I'm always exhausted and art requires a lot of mental energy.
I'm not going to give up though. Eventually I'll be able to share what I want through art and I'll be doing it for myself. Your work inspires me and I really appreciate the time you put into making these comics about your thoughts on the side along with everything else you do.

I'm proud of you for taking the time you do and giving your creativity and imagination some time to breathe. It really does take a lot of strength emotionally to sit down and have a look at ourselves through what we're putting down. To do it many times is accomplishment no matter where you sit with it. Thanks for being a bit of inspiration yourself here today.

Well said!

Looks at your tuft of hair*

..... ...... we need to have sex....

Fantastically lovely sweet read and strip! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! ^v^ Thank you !

I was really close to taking college art courses until my roommate talked me out of it saying that it was really only good if you specifically wanted it on a resume.

I will forever remember Shane Frost for his warmth and kindness, his wonderful artwork and the inspiration and encouragement he offers to budding creators
Thank you for being you!

"Super outdated 2004 version of macromedia flash" eh? Most of my stuff on here was done on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, it died this year so I'm arting on the Samsung Galaxy A52.

Very wise words, it's fun to art and there's no wrong way to do it.

I remember years and years ago when I was still in school a common exercise for the creative classes was to play a piece of music and task everyone with drawing or writing what said piece of music made them think of or what emotions where evoked. Despite that everyone heard the same thing all the works produced where vastly different. So different that many of them were not even comparable to each other, going beyond "apples to oranges" and becoming more like "apples to a moon fortress made out of pancakes." Even if they have similar backgrounds and tastes, peoples minds work so differently that when they hear or see the same thing the mental and emotional processes are completely different. I realized back then that with the ephemeral and elusive answer to "what is art?" if nothing else, it's the only actual way to see the world through someone else's eyes.

Thank you for sharing this. I had family that wanted me to be involved in things I never had a passion for. Also, I have accepted what I create isn't typically desired, but it is still what I want to share.

ya college art classes really stunk, cause they just teach as if everyone is at the same level. they dont address people individually on areas to improve apon so it doesnt really feel like learning.
also in the midwest they just kept having us draw cow skeletons for still lifes, and...it really doesnt help much the first time, and it certainly doesnt help the 5th time

i feel most of my improvement has just been trial and error
and looking at tons of references
