@Lilykin: I never really had interactions such as these before i got social media.
I only recently started posting my art. :vanora_sweat:
I've been drawing forever but 2016-2019 was a really bad time for me so i could barely finish art
and also didn't have the means to get the tools I needed.

I'm kinda like a ghost on avatar sites. I'll talk but then disappear so i don't have any contact with past friends
as i wasn't social enough to make friends. lol.
I also flee communities fairly easily. If things feel too taxing mentally for me or i just don't feel i have friends
or going to make any, then i just bail. I am a lone bat 90% of my life lol. Even in RL. lol.

It's Not really an art tutorial. I am only following an artist's advice they gave their watchers on their stream as it's way too hard for me to do gesture drawing because it feels i have to se all my energy just to draw/sketch out one. So she said you can just focus on one part of the body like eyes/faces, or in my case hands/arms as I struggle with those the most. But because i have severe allergies[like swollen and very red eye i could barely see out of]
I haven't started on what I'm supposed to do.
For me I'm not sure i'd be ideal to make the draw this in your style challenge because right now i just can't stand to look at my own work.
Other users in this thread can host their own challenge if they wish.
I just don't think i have any ideas that are more than just a small idea.

@Lilykin: I made this thread just to reach other artists and just to talk about art
and to have something to push me to want to improve my own work.
Before making the thread felt i didn't have many supporters of m work and it made me feel why am I bothering wit art in the first place lol.

I mainly only talk about art so I figured "why not just make an art thread."
And just came up with things along the way to get others involved and not make it about me.

Not sure what challenges i would make tbh.
Not good with ideas. I don't want to make something too taxing on me.

@Lilykin: Whenever I do games I usually give things
for just participating.

Bu idk what I'd even do for contests.
so contests may or may not happen.
I just put it there for reserving the post. I still have to come up with a lot of things for this thread and organizing it.
This is the first thread that's ever had more than 1 poster so it's a bit taxing on me mentally as I am not used to it.

@Lilykin: Not really. Just having critiques for this place
gave me severe anxiety.

Maybe in the future when I'm better at socializing for a long period of time.

@Lilykin: Yeah same tbh.
Though slowly getting better at it.
Lineart is mainly what I'm good at, and enjoy doing lol.


@Addy: I'm trying to dedicate my studies a lot more consistently.
My fave artist gave me the tip on her stream.
Next month will also be a new body part. Probably torsos or legs.
Hands i am the weakest at so they have to come first.

I've got 0 determination lol.
but idk what else i would do so i just draw.

@Lilykin: Yeah. I can't wait to move out.
for one thing, i don't even have my own room.
My own room would be so great honestly.

Yeah, I'm planning to do a lot of studies.
Like 1 month full of hands.

If anything i can just draw cute girls in beautiful gowns.
i do need to work on folds regardless lol.

@Lilykin: I posted one of my works for fb.
So maybe I'll just put all of my modest cutest stuff through fb
so my family sees but just keep my twitter and Instagram under wraps.

Cause it's mostly grandma and dad in the religion anyway.

Like i usually didn't care what i drew but now i feel I have to be more careful.
as I still live with my dad and idk. i guess it just adds so much guilt and pressure.

@Lilykin: Jehovah witness.
Very strict on pretty much everything. :vanora_sweat:

I don't even know if they'll see my work ever but better
pump out normal human arts just in case.

So maybe I'll just focus on my OC's.

@Lilykin: For real.
Also really disrespectful for others' religions.
Like pushing my grandmother to do something on her birthday
after knowing for many years my grandmother doesn't celebrate it.

But maybe I'll just do non-demon arts for at least a while.
though I'm so bad at ideas.
I should finish some of my old projects. :vanora_sweat:

@Lilykin: I'm not religious. I have learned it because i was kinda forced to.
But i disagree with it.
But my dad i know would not understand.
So Now i jus have constant guilt of drawing what I like. Which is strongly against their religion.

Not much I can honestly do.
Even if i don't show them, i still have fear they will find out.
They aren't on social media.

@Lilykin: mine isn't really related to pandemic.
I just live with highly religious family
and i feel guilt drawing demons. :vanora_sweat:
