my darling crab cake!!
wanted to warm up so i could draw a little.
You sure have seen this post. It has spread like wildfire over the past few days so I doubt there is any artist out there who hasn’t seen it. But even if you didn’t, you should read on because I’m about to tell you a handy little thing that can help you to protect your art from such assholes as the anon who submitted this bullcrap, as well as art thieves in general.
The magic word is Metadata.
Metadata is like an invisible signature that is embeded into a file. It can contain all kinds of information, like Title, date, keywords for online seach engines, and copyright information. And the best thing is, since this information is “hidden” in the code of your picture, it’s hard to remove it.
There is a nice basic tutorial on how to add Metadata, or “additional file information” to your images in photoshop. It’s really, really easy so check it out!
I’m not sure if you can do the same with any other art program. If you know how to do this in other programs / can confirm that it works the same way there, please tell me so I can add the information to this post.
Adding the Metadata will not stop idiots from taking and reposting your art. It also won’t make them stop editing out your signature. It WILL however, help you prove that you are the original artist whenever you have to. Always remember my friends. You, the artist, are protected by law. No one has the right to take your intellectual property and hard work and repost, use or edit it without your permission. Ever.
i just want these two to be happy dammit
When I started drawing this, I was at my worst. By the time I finished, I was almost feeling better. This is for everyone who’s going through a rough time right now.
did some will practice
Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable) (positivity is cool ♡)!!
Oh my goodness, this is so sweet! Thanks, bro!! ♡
1) I’m very proud of my mourning dove call.
2) I really like my long hair!!
3) My room is kinda cool.
4) I’m into an extensively wide variety of nerd fodder.
5) I make myself laugh with my own shitty jokes.
drew reisen to relieve some stress

@necro-fancy
also people should keep in mind that sometimes when an artist says “doodle” what they mean is “stress-free art”. that doesn’t necessarily mean that the “doodle” they made is something that they didn’t work hard at or didn’t spend a long time on. some people get really out of control when they see impressive works and the artist write “just a doodle” and they think, this is it, this is the end, im no longer going to be an artist, how can i possibly compare myself.
sometimes “just a doodle” means “not working on commissions or something work-based”, so don’t fret yourselves. plus not everyone who posts art plans on a bunch of people seeing it. you don’t really expect your stupid poorly written artist caption to be seen by a lot of people via reblogs,
Shout out to artists who draw their personal character tons but hate themselves
Shout out to artists whose personal character looks like a cooler version of themselves
Shout out to artists who use their art to not only express but to learn more about themselves
Shout out to artists who love complex character designs not because they think they’re “special snowflakes” but because they’re more fun
Shout out to artists who never finish anything
Shout out to artists who think others draw their characters better than them or love another artist’s style more but still pursue their own
Shout out to artists who draw vent art and share it without caring what people think
Shout out to artists who draw to keep from hurting themselves
Shout out to artists who draw mainly for themselves
Shout out to artists who draw a lot of the same thing
Shout out to any artists who do their own thing regardless of others’ uselessly negative opinions
You’re welcome sweet heart!!
A gift for the ever so sweet and talented mtt-cosplay-journey ♥

Because I can’t pass with my long hair.
You don’t have to like or reblog my art to show your support - I just ask that you print it out and eat it every once in a while. Thanks
