The Modern Artist's Ten Commandments

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 25, 2011, 4:50 PM


(This is just a stupid thing I just came up with ^ ^ - It's just a nerdy joke don't take it too seriously.)

I am the Master, your Mentor.

1. Thou shalt have no hobbies before Art.

2. Thou shalt study from life.

3. Thou shalt not steal from your fellow artist.

4. Thou shalt judge your own art harshly.

5. Thou shalt teach yourself by teaching others and give constructive criticisms.

6. Thou shalt watch what you say / do. (Because the art community is way smaller than you think).

7. Thou who draws digitally shall not fear the pencil. Thou who draws traditionally shall not fear the tablet.

8. Thou shalt not take a long time or be lazy with commissions.

9.  Thou shalt not draw furry porn. : P

10. Thous shalt abandon any form of social life. *thanks :iconjade-kingfisher:

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I really believe there should be one in reference to not shying away from backgrounds. Or learning perspective. Too many artist hand wave it away, like they can some how become a great manga artist while avoiding to learn these things.

I've been getting better with a lot of these in the last few years, but when I was in high/middle school? HoBoy, what a sinner I was....
