Ooh have you done riso before ???

there's a riso print club an hour from me that has super reasonable rates so I'm 👁️👁️👁️

i never really had fictional crushes but the first character I was maybe Too Into (imagining cool scenes set to the synth rock my mom played in the car) was Artemis fowl from the middle grade fantasy book series .......

I painted this first and then just fooled around with level corrections! Very fun

It is so cool that using the period accurate pigments helped solve the problem! I find so often that people overlook the actual nature of specific pigments and mediums, when it can make a huge difference on workability and drying time

I wish I could teach painting. i think it would be fun and I'd be good at it.

I spent a good 20 minutes literally just painting and wiping off and painting again the nose. and I still don't think it's right. But it's closer ! That's what painting from life is, a constant search to find the truth of what you're seeing

I feel like that post about Halloween costumes and ADHD, you people can't do anything, but genuinely the only thing standing in my way is me and how bored I get doing the same thing more than once or twice

I have and honestly I do want to ! I'm just uhhm. eermm. flighty? I currently have not developed the work ethic / focus muscles to be able to stick with a concept long enough to make a cohesive body of work out of it. i get bored so quick (which feels like such an immature cop out)

it's just weird. i don't think I personally value the output of my time and study bc it's so straightforward to me, and I don't have the endurance or focus to leverage those observational skills into paid opportunities or a cohesive body of work

it's odd having, in multiple class settings, both the models and other artists ooh and aah over my pieces and, in the case of the models, ask to take the piece home or take a picture of it

but i do nothing with these skills but, uh ... attend more figure drawing sessions and classes IG

or .. maybe mba ... HRMM. would take longer but might be more long term useful. but also - do I really want to manage people ?? might be more chill to remain an individual contributor doing my own thing

very first world problem i know. oh well. it should be a super fun time regardless!!!

i kind of broke away from public WoW rp / rp events when i got a 40hr week dayjob and started thinking, 'if i explained this WoW rp drama to my boss would she look at me like im crazy'.

and the answer was yes more often than not.
