Smolbi

Went shopping with a friend yesterday and got a bunch of girl clothes to celebrate my step towards getting on hrt and LEGGINGS ARE SO COMFY.

Having to swap back to pants to go to work this morning is a tragedy

Hey, I haven’t been here for a while but I recently registered to get on hrt and I keep getting really excited about it and I need to share it somewhere, ok thanks :)

You said, and I quote, “I cannot like your post, does the world need more kittens (cats)?” Which clearly implies blaming them for it. If that’s not your intent, you need to be much better at making your point clear

The cat was pregnant, gave birth, and was abandoned, this person took in the mama and the kittens together, please read the top comment they have immediately under the post explaining this before telling them they’re in the wrong

My motivation to exist on the internet is maybe slightly back, and hopefully maybe to art again? This stuffs hard, anyone out there accomplishing stuff, even something like making your bed, you’re doing great

This is what it means to be a diplomat

I love being a crafter in mmo’s for this reason. I do also enjoy raiding and dungeoning and whatnot myself, but often I enjoy the fantasy of being the mythical craftsman for the heroes

I don’t even know what social sciences are so I must be pretty good at them

The problem is the people who know how to make fun video games are making video games, so your left with Jerry who’s closest encounter with a game is yelling at kids playing pin the tail on the donkey

Taxes are like a subscription to the government and billionaires are stealing passwords to get it for free

I stg every time I see someone use /s im twice as confused about their intent cause I can’t remember if that means sarcastic or serious

Been suffering a low mental state lately so I apologize for the lack of art progress x.x I haven’t given up tho! Just giving myself the mental break when brain needs it

I think I’m getting sick… for like the third time this year already

I’m a regular pronoun fuck upper :( I always feel so bad, but I just have a bad brain, I also regularly fuck up birthday dates, mix up voices, and call people the wrong name, including my own best friend x.x

I feel stuck, I’m doing a little art each day for the most part but it doesn’t feel like I’m gaining anything from it, practicing drawing smoother lines is something I need to work on, but I’m not sure what other basics to study to get my art up to a consistent (although beginner) standard

very simple stuff today but it was a very eye opening experience for me, perspective just makes so much more sense now

Starting Smol Day 10: Ohhhh that's how vanishing points work

Spent some times messing around with my little practice cubes before I realized that there isn't a "correct" way to draw a cube from each angle, and now I've figured out vanishing points and perspective grids so much more.

Starting Smol Day 9: Perspective practice?

Been struggling to think how to really practice perspective, and I ended up with this! I made a sheet with inlines and outlines, hide one of them and try to fill in the other, then compare to the original image! Hopefully this helps me practice a little!

Starting Smol Day 8: learning perspective tools, and a heart for valentines <3

most of today was spent just figuring out lots of tools like symmetry lines, perspective lines, different kinds of curves, etc, and a heart for cuteness and cause its a little more complex than a sphere haha #artpractice

Art today for realsies, life’s been beating me up a bit x.x but I have a lot more time today than my raid days

I’m adoring the street witches

No art today cause I have to much adulting to do, I need to find some tutorials on perspective and perspective tools to go over when I have more time!

Starting Smol Day 7: Cuuuuube!

It's not a sphere! hehe, I was planning to do more perspective style practice, but it turned more into just learning more about Clip Studio Paint tools mostly, and then I decided since it was sitting there I should try shading a cube. I think I did alright!

I started this to motivate myself to learn to draw, keeping myself more accountable by putting it out there for people to see, but also because I want to show others who also want to learn to draw but feel like starting from nothing is really daunting, you can do it too!

In total, here is my first week of art practice! I have literally no experience, and just took the very simple goal of drawing a good looking sphere and took it step by step. Some video tutorials, some advice from artist friends, and a bit of learning to use the right tools!

Starting Smol Day 6: The final sphere!

after 1 week (with 1 day break) learning to draw, I'm honestly surprised how quickly I've started to improve! my goals were simple but I'm really proud of them. I'm gonna need to find something new to practice now, maybe something to play with perspective?

Starting Smol day 5: Yet another sphere

What can I say, it feels like really good shading practice. Today I used an ellipse tool so I could just focus on shading, and I made proper use of layers and WOW it feels like I'm really getting somewhere, gonna do some new stuff soon!

Heck i didn't do art today, got distracted taxiing a friend around in ffxiv who just started lol

Too tired now so honestly I'm just gonna take it as a rest day and not make too much of a job out of it to the point it takes then fun away, I'll make sure to get something done tomorrow though!

Starting smol day 4: minor improvements. Took some advice from an artist friend, and pretty sure I forgot almost all of it by the time I was drawing again LOL. Very slight improvement, but it's friday, I had a long week at work, I'm just gonna relax and not stress too much x.x 30 more minutes down!

Just refactored my library crate into 7 modules, that was long overdue and tiring, but very satisfying. Now to continue migrating more scripts from python into rust
