More work to be done on the drawing part of this painting. Colors are more saturated than they appear in the photos. Overall, I’m pleased with the composition and how much I accomplished in one session.

YouTube video by F.D Signifier I'm What the Culture Feeling

if you don't know who kendrick lamar is instead of being weirdly smug about your lack of knowledge may i suggest this extremely good video from F.D Signifier?? it's actually so good and holds your hand through a ton of context & history

The first misconception when learning to draw is thinking we need to learn the symbols to see the worldβ€” when actually, we need to see the world to draw the symbols.

A study of 526 long COVID patients found 72% had chronic autonomic dysfunction, lasting 3+ years.

One in three developed POTS, mostly women and those with joint hypermobility.

Watching Pantheon (on netflix) with my wife and we are both so impressed with the animation and art. As far as I can tell, every shot keeps the same artboard size, and they are all hand drawn. Lends a great quality where the rendering simplifies as it fades into the distance. Love it.

Trust the process. Keep going.
