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,

I met another graphic designer on the train ride home today, because he was watching me draw and came over to talk. It was awesome. He showed me his ipad and caricature drawings and they were REALLY GOOD.
And then I debated ipad pro vs wacom cintiq companion 2 all the way home.
IDK the former is less expensive but the latter is more versatile so ???
Either way, I still need to learn how to draw people well. No amount of cool gear will fix that!

I didn’t really understand ableism for a long time, but then one day a very dear friend explained things to me in a way that really illuminated things, in a real “oh shit, I get it now” moment. What she told me was, everyone has limits. Everyone can only travel so far, or do so much before becoming exhausted, or lift/push/pull so much before reaching their limit. And things are already made with accessibility in mind. They are just made with only the limits of the “average” person in mind.
Like, if stairsteps were each six feet tall, no one would climb them. If doors were 500lbs heavy, or only 2 feet tall, no one would go through them. If daily workdays were 20 hours long, no one would be able to work them. If conversations had to be held in iambic pentameter, no one would find talking so easy. If text was all 2pt size, no one would easily read. Etc, etc, etc. But society adjusts all these things to meet limits. They just forget to account for everyone, and that is ableism.
That’s actually a great way of explaining it, I’m probably going to steal that
