tbqh ive never really liked my art & probably never will, but thinking this way is what makes me so obsessed with art&drawing… + imo the value of art itself is the act of learning art & learning what makes art So Good, and learning what makes me love Good Art so much

i totally agree with this!! learning more about art feels kinda addicting.... i find it a lot more fun to focus on that aspect of art instead of just wanting to make something look good. and also like understanding that the more you learn about art the more you will inevitably get better anyway

AI art in particular made me realize that idgaf about images alone, i care about it in the context of knowing that a human being made it. like figuring out how an artist made their art, learning from them so that i might be able to make something similar someday, THATS what makes art valuable 2 me
