fun prank: go on dA and look for awful, beginning artists who draw cats/wolves on ms paint and comment on their picture and tell them how great it looks and that they should keep drawing because they’re going to get better and better, and to not be a dick about their drawing skill because they’re still starting out and learning!!!!
DRAW THEM FANART. DRAW THEM FANAAAAART. I’ll always remember the older people who humored me when I was an 11-year-old drawing cats and Pokemon, and when they drew my “OCs” I didn’t get over it for weeks. I still have some that I printed out and put in the front of my binder.
You don’t have to become a mentor, and you don’t have to tell them anything about their art that isn’t true. But you CAN make them shit their pants with just an hour or two of your time, and some of them won’t ever forget the first time someone acknowledged their creativity.
This.
It’s great and everyone wins.
oh my gosh this sounds really fun
