--@warf, yeah all good, your brief actually got me inspired to do a piece myself...maybe. will post my development process for you if I do. might help?
06 Feb 19:43
--I'm going to start going daily to a live drawing group, I hope I meet some cool people because holy shit I don't know artists in real life
06 Feb 19:42
--yeah totally gliger, I only use facebook to spam art now. haha. I prefer talking to real people, notmpixels for real friends :)
06 Feb 19:42
--but srsly take your time. decided im starting again, more for my own practice than anything else. working on some character and figure drawing so dont worry im not waiting on your response to carry on :)
06 Feb 19:40
--no worries ward...working on a response... but got a hot date this weekend. that wins. lol
06 Feb 19:40
--yeah, that's what I meant when I said that it is not so useful to put work your out there if you are not creating your own stuff

--anthony jones who was already established and popular yes. for developing artists not so much. not saying don't have one, but it's not going to trump real connects if you're just starting

--it's just a way to keep in touch with fans and other artists, get them to like you more
06 Feb 19:37
--i heard that its quite good for promotion? never tried it myself but i see where you are coming from. thanks for the crit btw monkey
06 Feb 19:37
--But then you look at anthony Jones who got like 70% of his kickstarter funding from facebook
06 Feb 19:36
--@lyraina imo facebook is almost wholely useless for doing anything that will aid your art in an absolute way. it is fine for following people, maybe keeping in touch with people and groups you've already met in person, but seems like a self promotional cesspit otherwise. does more likes on your page get you work? probably not.

--i slept face down last night... i still have the imprint of my pillow on my face like a bright red tattoo
06 Feb 19:31
--maybe I just slept in a weird position, like sleeping on my hands or something
06 Feb 19:30
--it's a pen, and I'm holding it in the most relaxing position I know, I pretty much just using my shoulder and elbow
06 Feb 19:27
--to be honest, it's just an specific position when stretching, but a small thogh consistent pain while drawing
06 Feb 19:19
--just consider that future employers will see things and you need to be professional(without giving up being yourself!) and you're good to go.
06 Feb 19:08
--because apparently there are people who don't hire someone like that because goths sell their underwear (???!)
06 Feb 19:07
--quite the mine field, back in school I was in a German social network and was told that using a (tasteful!) profile pic of me as a goth is a bad idea
06 Feb 19:06
--All the time I see guys who I don't consider ''good artists'' but they are doing galleries and getting jobs, it's just because they network... i mean, I guess that's the reason
