A drawing of a man from the chest up angled to the left with a classic 3/4 face. His hair-style is in a mullet. He is wearing a simple sleeveless shirt. The drawing is outlined with my "taroleaf" signature drawn to the right of his face.

I've been obsessed with drawing longer-haired men.

Also--I went back on antidepressants and I seem to be more lively and talkative ever since. ̶p̶e̶r̶c̶h̶a̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶ perhaps I might start using this account more?

I really want to challenge myself to draw more digital art soon because I can draw traditional art better than digital!

I've also been on a streaming hiatus--as someone who streams casually as a hobby, I still haven't developed the skill to have a good endurance for commentating without turning into a karaoke stream lol

But that skill is what I aim for and hopefully, I'll get better at it.

I'm struggling to keep track of which photos I have posted over on instagram. there must be a way to organize that I haven't figured out yet.

I'm glad that I don't hear "no offence but--" type of sentences these days

An unfinished drawing of a woman looking to the top left corner. Only her face is fully drawn. The right-half of her hair is finished, and only the collar of her shirt is drawn. I haven't put my signature on this drawing. This drawing was on a blank page of a notebook. You can see a wooden table above the screen below the notebook.

I looked at my photos folder and I saw this:

I drew this in a notebook but I forgot where I stored it. I want to finish this drawing now, despite how long it's been since abandonment lmaooooo

And just for transparency-this drawing was heavily referencing an existing picture.

Is it even decision paralysis anymore or do I need to learn to do more and plan less?

I have no idea, but awareness is a start.

A sketch drawing of a man with a mullet hairstyle. The sketch cuts off from the chest and below.

Okay I thought I had already posted this but turns out I haven't.

A low-lying tree branch touching a body of water. A riverbank can be seen in the background.

A zoomed-in photo of a cluster of pink flowers (I apologize I don't know how to identify flower species apart really well).

A single short tree in a field of low-lying grass. The sky is gray and cloudy.

To be transparent, I've got a lot of photos from my travels that I've yet to post, moreover I don't have much use for these photos if I don't share them.

Besides, I'm having fun posting these anyways.

A human figure with some sort of flames coming out of their back. The flames are in the center of an "eye shape".

I was dreaming and I saw this figure (more or less) and thereafter decided to draw it after waking up (to be precise, this was the last "scene" I dreamt while waking up).

Not sure what it means, but I get to touch my drawing book again. which is nice

A crow flying over head and is just out of frame. The sky is very gloomy and dark. There are two thin power lines in the bottom right-hand corner of the image.

Over the holidays, I made sure to rest up and think over what I want 2025 to look like for me. I'll be more active now (though no promises).

In the meantime, have a botched picture of a crow flying overhead.

I don't think I can count how many charities are going on right now with my two hands but my pockets are not that deep right now so that's a negative point for my personal festive feeling.

A street light over some trees on the right, surrounded by taller trees behind it. The whole bottom half of the picture is taken up by tree silhouettes while the upper half is the sky, taken early in the evening. The sky's color is a dark subdued shade of blue.

There are times when I look at something, somewhere while walking and think "this scene is pretty" and take photos. This was one of those times.

I haven't sketched in a while though I should go out my comfort are a bit and draw full body sketches 'stead of just neck and face. I still haven't done a deep dive study on how sketching poses work so might post those types of drawings instead.

I thought I procrastinated but I found out I already did that task. It was a pleasant, welcome surprise.

I appreciate this feature so much

Three benches neatly placed side by side facing a lake bordered by a wooden fence. The water is still, the sky is cloudy, and the ground is damp fresh from the rain. The shot is abundant with trees, hedges, reeds, and plants alike.

Haven't posted a photography photo in a while as I've mostly been posting my thoughts like an echo chamber so here's an unedited photo as a treat 🍃

I don't know what sorts of hashtags I shall put with this so here have this:

#photography #landscape #outdoors #scenery

Also one thought I'd like to add about bluesky's starter packs--it really helps makes this place feels a lil' more tight-knit, and boosts discovery over favoring certain accounts. I'm aggressively side eyeing a tab right there on the top of my monitor; I see you there.

I'm confident I've re-followed the accounts I want to follow over on here from twitter. At least that's one task taken off the procrastinated-tasks-list.

Daisy 2 by Ashnikko is really fun to dance freestyle popping

this is genuinely a really cool render style

how do people maintain speaking multilingual, especially with languages that have less sources and materials.

I would really like an app that quizzes you what plants look like.

Can't lie that Coral Island's feature to set how fast time flies is spoiling me. I can play farming sims now without a checklist lmaoo

and uh, should I also post raw, unedited photos side by side with the edited photos I have been usually posting?

Expect more nature and landscape photos on both here and Instagram. Even with my measly, unprofessional phone, I think I've taken quite a lot of beautiful pictures. :]]] so stay tuned!

Hindsight: the mix may not be the best, but I'll release it anyways because I think it'll be fun to look back at my growth in music on the internet. This is way different from my other posts so I wonder what y'all think!
