@Wildfire: True but i feel i am not quite there yet for those.

@Wildfire: I have so many to do.

@Blixie: Oh wow. i did not think about that.
mostly cause i suck a math so bad lol.

Normally i split commissions into days and sometimes weeks
since i am not super good with anatomy.
So normally i try to find good references and thumbnail my work first, than expand it and detail it.
hands usually take the longest because i am not super great at the breakdown of them.

Colors and full and half bodies are more expensive since they take the longest.

@Wildfire: I have a canvas with the references, so it's definitely happening.
it'll also help me possibly with shapes and perspective too.

and soon...i feel i will finally complete this one study i started back in 2018.
I longed for finishing him. but i got too chicken about it lmao.

I love apple pie. Just something about apple pie is enjoyable.
I don't eat it with vanilla ice cream as some do as i can't eat vanilla much.

@Blixie: Lol cake is very lovely. I love how cake looks.

Tho i will just draw it instead.

//actually plans to do a study of a bunch of cake

@Wildfire: Yeah. i really need to incorporate it in my art more often.
I mostly use blue/pink/ or purple lol.

Yes I am. I never took lessons in art as i couldn't really afford to take classes or go to college for art.
So I just started drawing. Tho i first was a pixel artist. I mostly did pixel dolls
and then eventually i started to not like that and hopped into digital drawing.
tho I didn't really fully begin my journey i feel until i got my tablet because it had pen pressure as my first tablet had like 0 pen pressure.

@Wildfire: I try not to, but it sometimes just happens.
Favorite color is yellow.
and as a kid i always liked yellow because it was a super happy color.

@Blixie: yeah. some days im like "yeah im pretty okay." and some im just like "oh...no..." lol.

Professional as in industry or freelance?
I'm working towards freelance business owner with my artwork like selling stickers and prints.
but im so far from it.

I mostly just really need to work on my hands and painting skills.
but im on my second value study which i feel is going better.

@Wildfire: my brain just tells me "do you ever talk about anything else??"
so i know you don't mind which is nice.
but i am just very poor at talking.

@Wildfire: it's been like this for years as in my past i did not talk to very nice people
and took a toll on me lol.
well that's good. i also feel...there isnt much for me to talk about.
i can't easily jump into conversations or relate to anything.
i live a super quiet life. and before the pandemic and all i can talk about is art since it's literally all i have xD


@blixie: you don't have to do that. i don't really think my art is very good as of late.

@Wildfire: Not really. I don't think it's fixable at this point lol.
just probably anxiety or depression that actually does that. and i always get sick of myself and that's usually why
i stop talking. because to me my brain convinces me that whatever i say is stupid and im just annoying.
Probably just something that happened in my past that makes me feel that way idk really lol.

but it's fine. nothing to really worry about.

@Blixie: yeah. just don't really know how to feel better about avatar sites.
i think only thing keeping me here is i have a commission to do XD

in an unhealthy manner.
