@Purpsy: Mhm definitely.

Yeah. im not the best with my anatomy, so i mostly do headshots to focus on faces more.
tho i need to improve my hands/arms as i feel my art is a little boring without doing that lol.

Backgrounds and story telling through art i want to improve on.

@Purpsy: yup so i doubt they'll come down any time soon to my town luckily.

I never redraw the same drawing as there isn't many drawings i actually have that i enjoy drawing often.

I mostly draw people. i sometimes draw backgrounds with characters
but not too often as i am not that good with backgrounds.

@ChiffonOrange: Yeah and since my art has not yet made any money
it's going to take me a long time to save up for one. hoping that my current one will last that long.

I don't trust intel processors as that's what i have had and...they are not good lol.
as digital artist/gamer/streamer it does not do much for me lol.

All I know is the brand is going to be HP. i don't trust any other computer brand as i've had some not good brands.
Mainly ASUS.

@ChiffonOrange: Tank you. It was really surprising. considering my technical issues.
And they even came back for the second stream test.

Computers in general for me are so out of budget.
I have yet to make any income on my art yet. I have a computer in mind. which is around 16GB for sure and the processor i think
is the AMD one i think? as i heard i was a strong kind of processor.

Tho it's around $900.
i'm considering a surface pro but i can't do everything on it. but may want to get one
as something to get by on.

@Purpsy: Yeah, a lot of my family is in my state but the one family who really just...did not understand us, or apologized to us
and kind of acts like a know it all is not in our town.
They just did a lot of not great things when my mom had her stroke and even tried to be like "we can be like your new mom"
and that...was not okay to say tbh.

But they rarely come down here so i don't care much for them.

I have a favorite foresty piece i want to redraw. it's very good but it was back in the end of 2019 so i want to see how much
i can progress in it with my current skills.

@ChiffonOrange: Yeah probably.
But i got a new follower so that made me happy. I heard the noise when getting new follower
but i didn't see the notification so i was like "what was that...what just happened???"

Yeah. i think also having 4gb ram with a very low processor
is probably also part of the issue. as 4gb ram and very low processor basically makes it
so the computer cannot multitask at all.

I'm eventually saving up for a new computer to handle streaming but oof.
it's gonna take me a long time.

@ChiffonOrange: My memory is so bad lol.
But that is good to hear.

I'm not sure if the viewers that saw, saw any laginess tho when i was drawing it was very delayed when i was drawing
compared to off stream. it's mostly fixed other than the twitch not getting much of the stream.

Yeah. i just feel so bad for any viewers i get seeing me constantly go on and offline as i adjust my settings lol.
but i had a pretty fun time regardless.
tho i have to keep muting my sound as i don't have premium spotify so i have to mute the ads lol.

@ChiffonOrange: Yeah! It's been a pretty good day.
I forgot if i asked how you were.
//short term memory

Yeah. I got the settings to lag a little less for me drawing.
But twitch only got 3 minutes of my 22 minute stream.
So gotta tweak some more settings.

@Purpsy: yeah a lot of them i cannot trust.
and most tend to act as if my mother no longer exists and everything is fine.
Only one who asks how she is doing is one of my aunt's my cousin and his wife and my grandparents.
as whenever we would go to get togethers. everyone would just act like she no longer existed which is hurtful.

yeah most of them i only see once a year. or even less at that so im not bothered of cutting them out
as they just pretty much left my family high and dry and blamed us for things we couldn't control. they don't see us often luckily
so i just do not care for them.

Normally i have to thumbnail it to see if things will work out like i hope and everything looks right. And then i just expand the thumbnail
and flesh it out more. I really enjoy doing that.
Right now i have a vague idea for a foresty piece but i cannot find a reference for the pose just yet.

@Purpsy: I'm so the opposite. i just don't like going out often. I usually like indoor activities. tho i also have to be around people i like to be around to go outside too. A lot of my family just hurt my family way too much and they never apologized for it so im currently just not someone to forgive super easily as they kind of made my family feel that something truamatic happened in my life was our fault in some way. didn't help cook meals or anything so my sister felt she had to take such a huge role in that, which caused her a lot of panic attacks. so i kinda resent them a little still.

Normally if i don't have a vague idea, it takes days or weeks. especially with hands as i am not yet good
at breaking down my hands just yet so if it has a hand pose of any sort it takes me longer to finish.
but I finished a recent digital painting in 4 days. and i loved how it came out overall. tho i still need to work on learning to paint hair.
i think the hair is the only bit i was not satisfied with.

@Wildfire: welcome welcome!
it's been a little dead before a couple days ago so im working to get this place
back up and running so to speak lol.

how are you?

@ChiffonOrange: Hello! How are you today?

@Wildfire: i slept kinda roughly.
