@KayBit: but it'll pass like a breeze i am sure. :vanora_smile:

Ah yeah, that makes sense.
I just never know if people are like interested in my art. :vanora_sweat:

@KayBit: Me too. XD

haha same here! I do it a lot in the voltra discord.
but then i mute it cause i feel i will be criticized about my art or worse
no one will say anything. :vanora_xd:

I have so much art stuff to learn. i feel so behind.
Though right now trying to practice blending in photoshop.

@KayBit: haha that is understandable.
I've only posted my half-arsed art.
And then sometimes i go back and delete it.
but sometimes the feedback is really awesome and makes me blush.
and then doubt sinks in. :vanora_upsidedown:

Aww that means a lot to hear.
Lately i feel I am just...stuck. and I have so much to improve on
that i never know what I am practicing if it's working or not. :vanora_sweat:
I will just have to look up the same videos on blending again to understand it better.
most photoshop tutorials i watch was before i touched it/colored. :vanora_xd:

I think it looks off though because my values might be off.

@KayBit: Right!? me too!
I'll post something on my social media and then something in me lately with my art just says "you barely even tried with this. How about you actually TRY!"
Augh i hate it.

I definitely need to do light studies, anatomy studies, proportion studies and definitely value.
Value/color/and anatomy right now is my biggest obstacle.

Thank you

Yeah I might do that. I have so many pictures to practice with value and colors.
Gonna pick one and just try to see how it turns out.
i always hate i am such a planner. as PS tends to kill my tablet battery pretty fast.
Then it has to charge for like 5-6 hours. :vanora_cry:

@KayBit: Oh man those feels.
I spent 3 months on one and my inner voice is "3 months?? should've taken you 3 minutes from how bad it looks."
Yeah inner Moody is such a jerk. :vanora_cry:
Inner Voice to me:

For real. Sometimes I do regret the choice of this tablet because PS runs it down so fast.
Though i found a display tablet i desperately want.
The one thing anyone can convince me to buy.
Art related anything. From supplies to drawing tablets. I'm a sucker for it all.

YAY! i really want that cricut machine. Augh! I needz it!
Stickers is one merch i desperately want to make...and then i'll buy them for myself and put em everywhere! :vanora_xd:

@KayBit: For real. They can be too mean sometimes.
I have to remind myself reasons to not listen to her. :vanora_sweat:

Aww. I haven't had mine even a year as I bought it back in may or June
since i got like $150 for a tablet. It also does not have a screen.
Though the display tablet I want[which is the most affordable one i've found] is $250.
So I might save up for that one. Also...it comes with a red glove, stickers and a key chain :vanora_xd:

YASSS sell em!
It looks so fun to use. I can't wait. Plus how you can just peel it off that mat. Ahh so satisfying.
Ooo that's awesome though!
Prints and stickers I feel will be my main merch. Once I decide what i would do for like enamel pins and key chains.
I think my koi fish piece[once i flesh it out more] will be a good sticker design.

@KayBit: Haha yeah.

That's awesome. My old one was around there, but the only problem with my old one is no
sensitivity. or at least it was not very high at all.
This one has around 2k Sensitivity though so it works pretty well.

Thank you, I think so too. Espectially since I will be working from home
since I don't want to get a job that needs transpiration as I can't drive and i really don't
want to burden more people again. :vanora_stunned:

Team brain merch! :vanora_xd:
Ooo that sounds exciting!
I'm not sure if I uploaded in my discord.
It might be in the WIP channel. But it's a pretty simple design. But i plan to flesh it out more.
Once I understand my values and color and blending a little more than I do now.
I think so too!

Haha right!? Me too!
I really wanna draw my Alien oc so badly.
But first i must think of a good idea for the pose.

@MoodyBats: Oh yea my very first tablet had no sensitivity whatsoever xD It was sooooo bad xD

I totally get that, I am in a similar boat tbh so it's been hard for me trying to find a job
But I wish you the best of luck ;A;
If you start selling merch or something let me know and I'll try to get something ^^

Have you looked into like, print on demand services like RedBubble or Society6??? I don't get a whole lot from there each month but it's usually at least a little spending money I can save yknow?

Ohhhh yeah I think I know the one you're talking about~
If so it is in the discord ^^

I've been struggling with poses lately tbh ^^;

@MoodyBats: Haha I get you, tbh I'd like to get an ipad or something or like, just something more portable because sometimes I just wanna sit on the couch and work instead of at my desk xD
Also I feeeeel you xD

Ahh I get that, I'll say I haven't personally come across my own art being stolen up there yet in the 4 or 5 years 3 or 4 xD I can't count, I've been up there, but I get the distrust of other users, but I guess my art's not really worth stealing anyway xD
Have had art stolen on instagram before tho, that sucked xD
I've been meaning to get on society6, I keep forgetting to do the verification thing xD Which is dumb because it's like $1, like, get on that Kay wtf

Ooo cool~ I'll give it a look~

I struggle with....everything xD I at least have an ehhhhhh okay-ish cutesy style I'm okay with to do like, stickers and stuff for the time being while I'm practicing other things xD
'Cause I refuse to post things online that I'm practicing because....yknow....doubt xD

@MoodyBats: Yessss the struggle xD My laptop is very.....touchy. I need a new computer tbh xD
An ipad is an investment I'm hoping to make soon.....after a new computer xD

Yeah that's why I started making sure my signature and stuff is super present now tbh, or in places where it's present but not where you can crop it out so I'm like "SUCK IT"
Yessss I got a little notebook with my art on it and it was lovely xD And like, a tshirt, but that was mainly to see how it printed and how the quality was because I'm really picky about that xD

Blending is so hard for me tbh, I see people blend beautifully and I'm like "HOW"
I can blend relatively well on like....canvas with acrylics and stuff but for some reason on digital mediums I just....can't xD

Oooo I like the third eye one~ And I think the kois would be nice~ ;w;
And tru~ Practice is progress~
And that's good you know what to work on ^^ I'm sure you'll just continue improving just by keeping at it~ <3
