The reason you’re great at one-off compositions but can’t put a long-form comic or animation together to save your life isn’t because you’re a lousy artist, it’s because you’re a lousy project manager.

I know that doesn’t sound particularly positive, but you’d be astounded how many artists I’ve run into who are literally unaware that project management is a) a totally separate skill set from being Good At Art, and b) something you actually have to learn – they think that people are just intrinsically good or bad at doing long-form projects and that’s all there is to it.

Correctly identifying what it is that you suck at is the first step to improving!

This also applies to long-form writing.

Oh.

Reminder not to pick a scab otherwise you’d be undoing the cute platelets hard work!

This post has actively helped me with stopping picking at my scabs shut the up fuck

Look, I don’t care WHY you started getting better if your reason happens to be something “lame” or “cringey” or “stupid.” I’ve spent years being shamed for not being motivated to do things for the “right” reasons but now I’m just like “Fuck it, if it works, it’s good,”

If the cute anthropomorphic cells depicted in Cells at Work motivate you to take care of your body, by all means use that.
