@Kent: Definitely.
I have some that are foilage, oil paint, chalk, and pencil textures.
I love that you can add PS brushes very easily into CSP.

I hope so. I think i just really need to practice on my anatomy and gesture drawing overall.
that's probably why my stuff is not coming out the best. but also not the worst.
just need to work on the anatomy and general flow of it all.
as I want my work to feel more natural and loose rather than stiff.

@Goblin: I rather not chance it.
But the phone i plan to get is suddenly in stock so my dad plans to call xfinity tomorrow
so maybe we'll figure out if we can order one for me.

yeah not a situation i want to be in at all as instagram
has my whole art career on it in a nut shell as i am on other social media platforms
but i cannot figure out the algorithms other than IGs.
so IG my stuff is the only platform my art gets some attention to.

@Shark: I rarely have just human characters. I think my OC Rina is the only human so far.
and Kind of edith. she is mostly human but a witch lol.

I feel toyhouse has a lot to offer.
tho i used some fun free templates for each character so i can write more about them.

there is other stuff but i don't know much about it.
Some has to do with coding i skimmed in premium section but didn't fully get it lol.

@Stinky: not really because even if i use their number they get the code i need.
and it's just for me way too many hoops to keep jumping.
so i guess i just won't be using it and will be forced to use twitter. despite none of my following uses twitter.
so advertising and doing marketing stuff will be much harder for me now.

I am quite furious right now. I was just scrolling, minding my own business on IG
and out of nowhere wants me to relogin. Which is strange. It never logs me out.
so I log back in and low and behold it refuses to let me in unless i have a phone number so it can send an SNS
code to me...I do not have a working phone with a phone number. My phone has no data on it, so it's only for internet.

IG is where i do all of my promotion of my artwork, new products in my shop, twitch live notifications, and essentially
my whole art life is on it and is the only place people see my work.
So now i am locked out of it for no reason and it's extremely disheartening.

and I don't know when i'll get a new phone. we had planned to last month but now the sale on my phone is gone on back order, and costs instead of $13 a month is now $30 a month and no idea when my dad will call the xfinity like he said he would.
and i am beyond frustrated now.

@Jolly: weird part is it was not my Doctor but the nurse who was taking my blood pressure and what not.
Though i really dislike doctors just because they were a big reason for when my mom had her stroke.
before it they claimed she was fine and just sent her home and my mom just had this sinking feeling she would see the hospital again soon.
Which she did.

they aren't really much different since then. can't find jobs, still no income coming in, and we need to move ASAP as my land lady
has it out for us pretty much.

i only qualified for health insurance when my dad stopped working, no money was coming in and our only source
to pay bills was from my dad's Social security.
last time i went to the doctor's, my nurse could not understand why my heart rate was high[i was highly anxious]
i said i was nervous and gave me the weirdest look.
a look that said "why would you be nervous??"
bro you could tell me i am dying and i would have no way of even paying for medical bills.

@Kent: Same. tho finding brushes to the program is really fun for me.
tho i have so many and i only use maybe 3 or 4 lol.
I would like to do more with textured brushes and make my paintings and drawings more interesting.

honestly same. I have really good ideas but they never end up exibited very well like i had imagined.

LOL exactly. i always try to set the bar low with prompt lists XD

@Kent: there is so much in CSP, i still haven't figured it all out.
Yesss! i need to eventually learn to tackle painting clouds as i really want to learn to paint those the most.

Yeah a lot of my art is quite boring if i don't paint it as my brain does not know how to shade simply,
but painting it will try and go all out for lol.
Thank you! I hope so. been working super hard to just improve my work.

LOL. one is a good choice.

@Kent: there are tons of resources for csp. Its a super wonderful program.
painting very much is time consuming, but it's also very rewarding. that feeling i get when i figure something out keeps me wanting to paint more

I did a mix of looking at refs and watching tutorials. but a lot of my knowledge has been in my head since 2018-2019 just never put into practice due to self doubt.
i tend to be constantly analyzing and studying faces like where the highlights go, where shadows are etc. makeup tutorials helped a lot.

i might only do the two and hope i can finish them lolol

@Kent: CSP is a life savor. Tho i use krita sometimes because
i like how the brushes work in it to paint as with CSP i haven't really found a brush i enjoy painting with.

mostly struggling to finish them because painting is very new for me
and i do not even know how to tackle hair yet lol.
I mostly just know how to paint faces and skin for the most part.
but i definitely want to paint them.

I have a few other pieces in the works that plan to be painted as well.
Actually they are my mermay pieces from last year but are mostly incomplete.
