/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I have a crush on someone on /ic/ that I talk to quite frequently now. I feel pathetic because it’s online but I can’t help my feelings. We draw together and it makes me happy. I think about him quite a lot too.
I don’t want to tell him because he seems quite uninterested outside of the art aspect.
Fuck this I’m too autistic to read signs.

Breaking anatomy for sex appeal is not a materially different act from drawing a dragon. Both are incorrect distortions of reality that the artist nonetheless wishes were real. Both can be executed well or poorly, bending anatomy is just much harder because plebs have a sixth sense for it and artists all learn it.

Still, there are imaginary forms that are better than the real thing for the same reasons to real forms are good. Etched somewhere in our lizard brains is the platonic human form, the scale against which the flesh is judged. I guarantee a hidebound scold will not be the one to find it.
