This is the last fruit still life for now, the portrait studies are coming back after this 😅
I really miss using oil paints so I tried out a different brush to achieve an impasto / impressionistic look.

not me rewatching all my old process videos over and over to remind myself that I actually KNOW how to do this and that I shouldn’t abandon my current painting just because it doesn’t look good (yet) 😭😩😭😩

just spent forever figuring out how to make my own custom feeds and ended up using skyfeed 🥲 i THINK it's working? i just wanted a way to organise my own posts by big themes and i'm slightly annoyed i can't reorder them on my profile's public facing feeds tab.

got tired of portrait studies and needed a break, so here’s an apple 🍎
I’d like to work on more still life studies if I can find the time 🤔

Bad Bunny’s halftime show was a reminder of how powerful human creativity and exuberance can be; all the designers, costumers, props, set, cameras, sound, lights, choreographers, performers, even the tree people made this happen.
AI could never.

Still struggling with overwhelm so I challenge myself to stay consistent by making at least one post a week and have zero expectations of the outcome for now.
I’ve been so pleasantly surprised by the encouragement I’ve been receiving from everyone so far, thank you all so much, I love you 😭💕

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

intensely grateful I don’t have to be anywhere today and can hide at home in a snowstorm with a cup of hot tea and my iPad to draw and read with.
I legit haven’t seen a snow storm like this in my whole entire life 🌨️🥶😵

I’m just doing my best to avoid any cover art that looks like AI when I compose my posts and reels.
