COOL ARTISTS DON'T GATEKEEP!
With AI "art" on the rise, one has to notice the way these scum always use the excuse that AI intervention "allows anyone to draw".. right? As if artists are somehow born with the ability to draw. Anyone with a brain knows that art is a skill and skills are something you have to learn - these lazy fucks just don't want to!
That's why, as your benevolent artist god, I'm compiling a list of fantastic art resources to help ANYONE learn. Want to put the fucking effort in? You're in the right place! You can thank me later. ENJOY!

TEXTBOOKS:
My belief is that anyone should be able to make art, for free, and that resources should be accessible. Art is one of the most fundamental parts of being a human being.
MACHINES CAN NOT REPLACE HUMAN ARTISTS.
Art has connected us and brought us together for millenia, since the very first cave painting up till the digital age.We should not let this be taken from us.I hope that this list has been beneficial and that you will use it and share it with every artist you know.
Feel free to make suggestions.
Stay safe, cool, away from ai, and fight for trans lives.
Goodnight and Dog Bless - Neo.
PS: Like you, I'm an artist struggling to survive... I have put this list together and will continue to update it as I gather more and more resources.
That said, if my work has been useful to you, please consider tipping me on Kofi?
