feeling more comfortable sketching digitally, but losing some of that confidence when going back to pen and paper. And visa versa. Anyone else experience this inverse relationship? #sketching #studies #digitalsketches #sketches
Digital sketches of some centaurs, a barbarian, a few figure studies, and Salma the slime girl showering.

drawing is the repeated experience of finding out that you have no idea what size things are and also that a lot of things, such as chairs, CAN be a lot of different sizes in real life, but whatever size you choose will feel dreadfully wrong

Drawing faces felt clunky and weird this morning. So I drew a bunch of them to warm up. #sketches #characterart #doodles #sketch #warmup #art
Digital sketches of faces. Some more rendered, others more abstract and cartoonish.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
Some thoughts: When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge. You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be. Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history. You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired. Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Line work ended up being more rendered than I intended. Could work for a coloring book? #orc #characterart #drawing #art #fantasyart #lineart

Here's a little jelly girl, I had fun with the rendering ☺️ #oc #digitalart #art
A digital painting of a tall, pinkish purple jelly girl. She is standing facing the viewer, her arms down at her sides in A pose and her hands are balled into fists. Her legs are together and turned slightly inward. She is wearing a black, short sleeve crop top with a purple heart outline on the right upper side and a pair of mid-rise black shorts with "Not Quite Inane" written in purple on the waistband. The background is a darker, de-saturated shade of purple with a white border and "Not Quite Inane" written in the lower right corner.
