Every person well-known and admired in a craft / field was a terrified absolute beginner once, given their first big opportunity to shine by someone who took a chance.
Don't give up! And for those who offer such opportunities, keep a lookout for those quiet, small but budding stars! 💫

#JustWatched Crime101 - It’s fine if you want a crime thriller and willing to go with the deliberate pacing. Some might uncharitably call it dollar store Heat, but it’s well acted and isn’t afraid to take its time rather than going pure “Shooty bang bang” for the trailers. #movies #film

That’s my free time gone.
Can I remind everyone to watch seasons 1-4 but skip the last episode of Season 4 - Deconstruction of Falling Stars - and go straight to the last episode of Season 5 - Sleeping in the Light.
Than leave it for a year.
You’ll thank me.

Rough environment study warmup
Based on a beautiful photo taken by @sgtmus.bsky.social (link in comments), thank you!
A lot of parts here that I think don't work out too well, but great practice nonetheless! Gotta figure out my hues better...

I’m definitely in an art low right now, I’m sure some of you are too.
I love this graph that shows that it can come from your discernment of good art outpacing your ability.
But the best way to battle discouragement is to keep practicing :) We’ll get to a good place soon enough 🤘

A little sketch to warm up while I wait for a job to render. This guy was from a reference supplied on a Facebook Daily Drawing Challenge page I occasionally lurk on.

Moving from 20+ years of VFX and animation to doing motion graphics, video editing and 3D for a marketing team this feels too real!
To make good corporate video, first release yourself from the conceit that anyone will watch it

Watched two shows that made a great contrast today. Starfleet Academy and Wonder Man
Wonder Man was a charming, funny, a great character study that did something interesting in a fairly stale universe.
Starfleet Academy wasn’t
It didn’t entertain or offend it just sat there like TV magnolia paint

While my wife is sleeping I thought “I’ll get a sketch done”
Two hours later and I’m still staring blankly at the iPad screen.
I’ve not done any art (not even so much as a doodle) in nearly a month I don’t think I’ve had “artists block” quite so bad in a long time
