@Wildfire: true. figuring it out through IG and twitter both is hard since IG hides your post if you spell patreon correctly if you promote patreon stuff and twitter hides your post with links so its a bit tricky.

but i spent today studying and painting so im excited to bring those skills into my personal works

@Kittyzilla: Art is usually just about shapes.
so some shapes make the face look younger.

im not very good at faces myself or anatomy in general lol but i started painting a study today
and it's slowly getting out of the ugly stage.
just a lot of practice and try not having too high of standards when your coming back into art
as that tends to add too much pressure to oneself.

Starting is always the hardest part.
I wish you best of luck in your endeavors.
and try not to get too discouraged if something does not turn out how you want it.
Art just takes... a lot of practice and repetition.

@Wildfire: probably could try better at promoting.
it's a bit tricky to promote.
some don't like links, accurate names of sites, etc.
so it's a bit hard.

@Wildfire: Promoting where you can on social media about your commissions.
but for small artists like me, it's kinda rare to get commissions.
on IG people kinda don't think your art is worth unless you have like 1k followers or something.

Kinda tried everything i could last year
so my only guess to get commissions is to improve my work lmao

@Wildfire: yup. will have to spend at least $1-2
to survive this year since my bank wants me to spend money every 1-2 months.
so hoping i can get commissioned within the year

@Wildfire: me too otherwise keeping my account active
is going to be a very tight budget. since i only have $9 lol

@Wildfire: I'm honestly just hoping to get a commission.
i have my do and don't draw list with my TOS and everything.
i just want to get commissioned.

my close art friend, was the only commissioner i got
and she really helped me keep afloat last year.

@Wildfire: me too.
the new model i want can be used on an android phone so if my laptop randomly decides
to kick the bucket i can still manage to do art through my phone.
it also comes with a glove.
and the dial on it is so great. you can make the dial work for zooming in and out
but i want it for changing the pen size.

But that is a huge goal for me this year.
to get commissioned and afford that tablet.

But im nearly there for affiliate on twitch so who knows may happen sooner than later.

@Wildfire: current model is huion giano.
reason for junky is all websites told me it has over 8k levels of pen pressure.
it doesnt. it has a little over 2k.

i need 8k as with 2k it doesnt blend too well with paintings and much harder to do so.

each time i have used the express keys in many different programs it goes beserk and merges the layers i dont want merged lol.

i've used it in PS, krita, medibang and sai as well as csp and the express keys always act weird.

also pen is plastic and gives me a bad callous as well as ithe tablet needs to be charged for 7 hours...

the model i want is XP pen's deco pro.

@Wildfire: Just still need to push my art with coloring
a lot more. but could also be a tablet issue too.
im hoping i can get commissioned this up coming year so i can replace my junky tablet lol.

@Wildfire: I don't feel i've felt much has changed with me
cause i never actually go out XD

but despite how bad this year has been,
art has been pretty okay.
my art i have seen so much improvement.
and started my twitch stream channel so im very happy with the progress i've made.
