Artists! What do you think about using Al as reference? I've seen a couple of reels where people do that and still not sure about it π€

My entry for "August adventures" challenge
This piece for me was always about a journey: from not believing things are gonna change to getting actually better. It gives me hope and a feeling of spring πΈβ¨
Life goes on and so do we
Week 1: journey + bloom
Iβve also made a reel about it, if youβre interested :)

Let me know!
Anyway, to become better at this, I decided to do it more often, so now I have a year tickets to natural history museum and botanical garden, and Iβm gonna push through my uncertainty and anxiety and sketch sketch sketch

I've never been that person, but I really want to! Itβs such a great skill I could use while traveling or just being bored outside.
My problems are: skill issue and some kind of social pressure

I used to make a lot of colour studies, this one is my favourite from February. Somewhere at that moment I decided to focus on markers sketching, but now I kinda miss painting and sculpting with colours. So may be Iβll get back to it π

leaving an illusion that one day Iβll do it (never happens). But do I really need to be sure? Do I really need it to be perfect? Nothing is perfect anyway. And moreover, sketchbooks are supposed to be messy, just like our lives. Itβs ok
3/4
As soon as I saw an empty first page, I thought βthis is the one Iβm gonna see every time I open a sketchbook, it probably should be perfectβ. I suddenly wasnβt sure if I could do it perfect and wanted to do the thing I always do: ignore the first page, start from the next one
2/4
Have you ever been so scared of making a mistake, that you didn't start at all? A couple weeks ago I finished my sketchbook and was really excited to start a new one, until I actually opened it

Maybe this is it?
