If you intend to only surround yourself with those who agree with you, and dismiss all that ever disagree. Then you intend for a very lonely life, my friend.

Seek purpose over happiness.

You can fight for purpose,
Even at the cost of your happiness.
Can you fight for happiness?

Good morning BlueSky! 💚
I got a new book on #drawing foliage! I’ve mostly been trying to get better at drawing #trees and #bushes.
This #book is good for seeing the phases that go into a drawing. But it doesn’t have any accompanying text, so you Really need to study each phase and play with it #art
An attempt at drawing a branch of a white pine tree, as demonstrated in my new book. The first thing I’ve learned from this book is to build the branch or tree in short lines, not taking long strokes. The short lines give you room to add notches and more organic shapes. Draw 50 Flowers, Trees and Other Plants by Lee J. Ames. I’d say this book is not really the best for beginners, as the progressions have no explanation as to the thinking. So I think to use this book to retain new practices will be tough.

That what comes easy
can be so easily
overlooked.

When we surround ourselves with others. Experience their strength.
In turn, we find our own. 💚

Congrats on the 2.5k followers! 💚
As I’m still in the process of copying over my work from Instagram, I thought I’d share some pieces from the past of some recognisable characters!
Abe’s Oddysee was one of my favourite games on PS1. Such good times 💚 Mario N64 edition was such a banger of a game! I’m sure I’d still play this now if I had a N64 This was my first attempt at drawing the Fairly Odd Parents. I loved this cartoon growing up. Being given the nickname Cosmo has been an honour I’ve had since 2003! 💚

This was my recent first attempt at doing some #canvasart. This is only a small canvas to practice using #alcoholmarkers, I had to gloss it first, but it looks like it works ok.
#art #zen #snow #woodcabin #relax #mountainart #finelinerart
A brown wooden cabin with snow all around. Drawn with fine liners and colours in varied brown tones with alcohol markers. Behind the cabin we can see some trees as they fade off into the distance. Further behind still is the vague impression of mountains in the far off mist.

Old world. New world. 💚 #SolarPunk
#poem #bskypoets #art #poetry #bskypoem #lyricdoodles #ScratchPad #awake
The old world was built on violence and denial. The new world is crying out for empathy and honesty. We are currently straddling both worlds. We feel the urge to be emotionally awake, but it’s hard to go against the steeple. To this I say, it’s much easier, once you find your people.

Here are some midway progress shots of my cow fish drawing. #artshare #zenart #wip #workinprogress #fishart
Early stage fine liner drawing of a cow fish, swimming from left to right across the page. With only the outlines in place, I would likely use this as a guide to recreate digitally sometime. Phase 2 of the cow fish with partial patterns in place on the belly and extremities. I paused here for a day to decide on the best thing to do next. Phase 3 all of the fine liner markers are in place. The last shot before I started adding in colours. The cow fish is now coloured in mostly yellows and oranges with alcohol markers. I always envisioned it to have a darker blue background to help make the fish colours more vivid.

#blueskypoets For years I’ve had a scratch pad on my phone where I can doodle lyrics. But they sit there in a folder. I suppose my intent is to one day go back and create a song from some of them. I don’t know if it counts, but for now, perhaps they are #poems?
#writersofbluesky #bskypoets #poetry
I’ve been built to fear my mind. I get the urge to go, but the thought of the enormity, makes me wobble and I get lost as I procrastinate. I want to try everything and give it all a go. But the urge to try then leaves me behind. It’s far more comforting to sit scrolling on my phone. We must break this mode. Forgo reaching for instant gratification and get comfortable being uncomfortable to pursue a greater goal. They say comparison is the thief of joy. But like many good quotes, I’ve found it’s far easier to recite than to live by. But I say, these are tools. They can be utilised. Get inspired. Get fired up. Comparison is a benchmark. But there’s a time and place. Being raw and exposed is a scary place, but you are now alive.

Congratulations on your 3333 followers! 💚
I’ve only just joined Bsky and am enjoying seeing the amazing art community here already!
I’ve had a look through and pulled 3 of my favourite art pieces that inspire me to do more!
#bskyart #artshare
My first go at a mandala drawing which was great fun to do! I decided to add colour which I recall was terrifying at the time! I love this piece as it reminds me to be bold! This porch-way of a wooden cabin was the first drawing I did after I got a new book on perspectives. This was done with fine line pen and grey markers for shading. This drawing of a Greek Ionic Temple in Athens was another drawing I did after I read a book on How To Read Buildings. I recall learning about how the columns design style have sets of rules and the same rules can still be seen being applied in skyscraper architecture.

This is something I was playing with in January. I was inspired by an artist using blue for shadows.
My initial building ended up with some Spanish vibes, so I added a Spanish style church with it too.
Then I felt that the perspective was a little bit off, so I added a cliff 😅
#artshare #inkart
A fine liner drawing of a Spanish looking house in yellows and orange. Perched upon a cliff overlooking a grey Spanish church. Both buildings have a similar vibe and red roof colouring to add relativity. Shades of blue have been used to highlight shadowy areas. An earlier draft of the piece. Where the house has been completed and the church is just in its inked fine liner form, before colour has been applied. A closer look at the house where the line work is easier to observe.

Started on this last night after learning what #zentangle #designs are on here.
I left it at the point where I need to be #confident in what I add next as I don’t want to mess it up now! 😆

My latest #doodle I was playing about with last night. Was inspired by a #floral spiral #design that I thought looked cool but I wanted my play with it in a different way. This ended up with more of an oozing #slime vibe, which I think looks kinda cool still.

Been working on a new drawing trying out a circular perspective. Been fun so far!
