Oh hey, I turned 30 today 🤸🏻‍♀️

Never expected I would end up reaching this age tbh, but the only thing I want to say is... The 13 year old me would be a huge fan of mine and that feels nice.

I am following our dreams, child. You did good. I'm proud of you.

Ugh I feel that pain with the Mimikyu card 😩
Still it's nice to see that most of the prettiest cards are so cheap compared to rares it's ridiculous

Tbh I only care about one Pokemon

SAME
(me waiting for Charmander promo card that I bought for €29 because I need it in my life) 🧍🏻‍♀️

Thankfully for my wallet, I decided to collect only cute cards and also started buying singles almost right away 🤝

Also also, thank fuck people sell full art cards for cheap, and I can just collect them and not care about those expensive ass cards or whatever.

I didn't know you were also here! Gonna find you 👀❤️

If you are at Dokomi, come say hi😊
Hall 3, booth 3H102

Bro just learned the word bourgeois and uses it everywhere like a 6 year old.

Speaking about strokes and angles, only a few styluses/brushes support the angle rotation. Smudge, blend and shading options also rely on programming, which differs from one software to other. Some artists even use 2-3 programs for different stages of painting because of that.

Pencils and real brushes allow for more control that only depend on your muscles and hand gestures.

Stylus movements are artificially supported by the pressure settings and the software you use. It's much harder to learn good pressure control with digital media. Not to mention the color mixing.

You can do it💪🏻
The valley period feels like eternity and it's mostly suffering, but once you learn to love the "suffering" it actually gets interesting (but not easy ha)

Kinda like muscle training. If you do squads and don't feel your glutes burning - then you are doing them wrong lol.

This thread dedicated to my frustration over not being able to do an oil study of a piece of lemon because I got burned out after years of painting digital "classical" looking art and forgot how to use normal art tools 😠👊🏻

That multiply/overlay pipeline is so frustrating. Cuz it's useful if you know what you are doing. But if not, then the whole process just becomes a shiny wrapper for a tasteless candy.
And once you get used to these layers, it's so frustrating and painful to even do studies without them. Been there😔

I never went to art school too and learned from YouTube. But I got into digital art too soon so my color theory and anatomy learning happened in Photoshop. Which sucks in the long run.
Always nice to have a balance. Learning traditionally as much as you can, and utilizing that knowledge digitally.

Being restrained is good. The "freedom" of digital art is a trap from which it is hard to escape for a lot of people.
A lot of people who are great with light and color digitally can't do the same with normal paints because they rely on layer effects to do all the job.

Without knowing why it looks wrong in the first place. Without knowing what mistake you did. Because you did have control over your mistakes. You put the filter over your painting, "photobashed" the drawing with filters.

That's why it's so hard and frustrating.

As a result, you don't increase the contrast or change colors because you know that they should be changed. You do it because the program has that ability and it feels fancy to bedazzle your painting with different effects. And once you go overboard you spend hours trying to fix it.

Learning to draw and paint is always better with the traditional media, because it makes your brain neurons go brrrrr
If you learn digitally, half of your time you spend on learning how layer effects work and which brushes feel more fancy. And then you become dependent on them.

Something I recently noticed.
95% of art tutorials from reels/tiktok don't teach you how to become better artist. They simply teach how to better utilize procreate/Photoshop/CSP etc.

Lots of kids now mistake the knowledge of programs for art skill. They reach for stylus before trying a pencil.

LMAO TRUE AND REAL

Oh another person was looking through my catalog and asking why my art looks different from one another with such a look as if I'm about to fold and tell that ai does all of this.

And I'm like, bruh, these illustrations were created years apart, the fuck you want from me? 😭

They will not buy it and they will tell you that they will not buy it because of those characters 🤌🏼
And I'm like

I can only be cool and aggressive online, but irl I'm anxious 🙃

Like lady, let me enjoy the twink gay vampire in peace 😭

It's Astarion, yeah 😂

Usually I can understand the ADHD urge to hate yap. But damn this was a bit too much. To the point that I have to complain about it online 🫲🏼

The only hate I tolerate at my booth is the hate towards Gortash and Wulbren Bongle. Period.

If you hate any other cast of BG3, your opinion is wrong and you will be chased away from my table with the spray bottle like a little demon.

I had "I would buy this fanart if it didn't have Astarion and Shadowheart because I absolutely hate them."🤣

Like, lady, if you are a vegan, don't go to the butchery, I dunno 😭

Lmao this! And they constantly interrupt you when you try to speak and have no a awareness of other people around the booth 👹
