Oh dear.

I've just found the option "Suprise me" on #ChatGPT

For my #ADHD brain, this could keep me stuck for a while 😳

I now know about a biologically immortal species of jellyfish called Turritopsis dohrnii

Anyone else had interesting revelations?

Black and white image of different life stages of the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii. Amazingly intricate detail. Showing the biological geometric shapes of its head and bits that come off it! I'm sorry, I have no idea how to explain it in words!

Coloured pencil on black paper. I'm pleased with it, although it looks nothing like the original girl's face!

Trying to practice drawing waves with charcoal, to add to my drawing of a lighthouse.

I'm quite apprehensive about adding waves, in case I ruin the lighthouse drawing, so am practicing on a separate sheet....

Work in progress of my lighthouse.

I'm quite excited, and shocked this has come from my own hands!

I'm now on a mission to learn how draw beautiful, realistic, crashing waves.

Hi @retirednotretiring.bsky.social I've ventured into trying to draw with some fine liner pens!

You've helped me get over my fear of them, thank you :)
