First attempt at nerikomi this week. Need to make more bisque or plaster molds for some different shapes, but I can see this being incredibly addictive. Some minor smudges that will hopefully sand out. #pottery

Update Am I good at it yet? No. Am I having a great time? Absolutely.
To explain, gradually, i got better at detecting flaws in my art and became more strict with my work. When i was younger, I just ran with things without thinking. That youthful energy produced a ton of artwork and even when it was bad, I didn't really notice or care. I scrutinize more.
havent been able to sit down and draw much this week but feeling very fullfilled by all kinds of art experiences; like seeing a beautiful ballet based on Kafka's Trial, reading a book that deeply annoys me, seeing some good movies & going to a metal concert that felt like a witch ritual of sorts
i got to see a real Degas pastel sketch in person today. it was one he ended up using as a reference for a painting. some random woman owns it and is having the conservators at the center i was at treat it and rehome it for long term display
So now that I'm partly free(ish) after surgery, I can start dabbling with art. I plan on trying to draw on paper first, and give myself a couple of weeks before I dive back into digital stuff. A Souls Lament is going to remain on hiatus for at least the rest of the year cause I want to play with my
I did a draws! I'm happy wif it...I did make two left paws and forgot to show more of a detail, but it gets the idea across.
being an artist is a really funny thing because like half of the things I draw can be classified as trying to tell deeply personal stories about pain and life and also what can only be described as edgy aurafarming
Some thoughts I wanna share from my instagram story about where I want things to go for my art journey.
I have been doing... **SO MUCH** sprite art for Sizecon Online (starting in two weeks) That my eyes are starting to see everything pixels. I did a sketch to relax using my normal digital inking pen- and was like "why is it so blurry?"
Reminded this spooky season of when I became a big witch gal for Halloween, realized that I liked it a whole lot, and decided not to turn back. Couldn't be happier, I adore my sona!
Manga and comics were what inspired me to start drawing all those years ago and I've fallen out of it due to other hobbies/work but reading again makes me want to draw again I CANNOT for the life of me find my apple pencil rn so I may wind up picking up a used one if I can find one...
I have a hot idea on how an anthro turtle shell would look, that I've been meaning to draw but that means drawing reasonably well looking back anatomy and you might as well just ask me to fucking fly.
i ordered some things to make my crafting more accessible & some upgrades and i'm excited! i am getting a lightbox stand that can tilt up for diamond painting and fuse bead crafts, etc with better posture. and new paperlike screencover and nib for my ipad! :3
LRP: This is literally my exact predicament. I wanna do loads of art stuff that not only will be fun for me, but I'll also be able to monetize it. The problem is that between my art funk and my mental health being so all over the place, I get overwhelmed by the thought and end up not doing it
I was thinking it might be fun to figure out a way to record me drawing and make a fake youtube series called "the joy of paint(1)ing" where I pleasantly explain what i'm doing and occasionally also say shit like "there's no such thing as a bad line, just lines you're going to draw over with better lines" and "they say art is hard, but you know what is also hard? cock.", but right now all i've got is "the losing half an hour of work of paint(1)ing"
recently got to work on a very fun piece with lots of cool, sharp angles which, because of the way I did it, made me think the hardest I've ever thought about keeping track of angles and tangents to avoid drawing swastikas
finally finished formatting the artbook and hopefully everything goes well but it also really shoves in my face how many WIPs i have hidden in unnamed layers in multiple psds
Still have no idea how to actually visuallize my own damn sona's head/face in 3D reliably. Goddamnit I'm gonna have to redesign Jeyd's face again, aren't I
lrp even just with my fanfic i really try to take the mentality of like- it is what it is. take it or leave it. i'm proud of my work, i created something *I* wanted it's a lot harder not to nitpick my physical art, perhaps because i still feel so novice at it, but i try at least not to degrade it
Re-learning how to draw heads for the billionth time because applied skill retention is not in my brain's skillset. Feels like it doesn't to matter how much I practice, if I don't do something for a week suddenly I can't do it anymore lol
I'm going to try not to art myself to death for subscription dollars on the P-Site. Realistically, I'm going to aim for... •3-5 sketches a week •1-2 finished pieces a week •1 toy photoshoot or video every other week •WIPs if I've got 'em I can finish 2-4 things a weekend if I'm motivated...
Since I left Webtoons and with the fall of Tapas I've had to rethink things a lot. It really effected me mentally. I'm thinking of pulling out a lot of the stuff I originally deleted due to issues with those sites and bringing them back in. I'm not really sure how to get back to drawing mind you...
im constantly stuck between wanting to plan a bunch of big projects and have an optimized routine for making art vs drawing all my art off the cuff and not caring if i even finish it or not
I DID do a drawing for todays inktober but its fan art of somones sona so I gotta ask for permission before/if I post it. But I still did todays art I swear!
iiiii really want to finish this fic but i really want to lay down and rest my tired arms after slamming a hammer into a chisel into some plaster for 4 hours today but i wanna draw something tomorrow... i can do both... i dont have homework... i can just relax for now. idek what i wanna draw yet.
Ok, shifting to GlazeMode (because I suddenly realized at lunch that I’d made more than enough for a full bisque kiln & am nearly out of shelf space)!
i was kinda thinking about robot characters and one thing led to another and now im kinda thinking about that scorpion i made and how i could properly finish it
I was doing a guide sketch for someone I'm commissioning but the composition was so good I want to gatekeep and draw it myself so I came up with something else haha
I can’t draw but I’m about to hand animate a like 30 second scene of a video. Ought to be interesting.
