new handle👍

im ngl, i think ill be moving into my own space in April (renovated garage). if so, i think imma start streaming. no camera tho...

think it sucks 18-19th century portraiture art is co-opted by right wing weirdos who don't even have a grasp of art to appreciate it. like would LOVE to have a john singer sargent pfp but the perception of having that pfp....

but its bluesky, so maybe i will be the one who will reclaim it back

everytime i log on here, im blased with graphs and stats or art. thank you, its much better than being blasted with grok ai or whatever the fuck

I forgot how much i enjoy writing

one of the things i wanna focus re: art (and this will try be an art focused account), dedicated sessions of drawing. drawing everyday yes is the goal but i wanna put aside an hour and a half twice a week where i dedicate myself to studies. and well... i am putting my energy in Q1 towards anatomy

think with new years resolutions, people often put either vague or big goals and it becomes hard to achieve them, i try not to do that, I've ACC separated my goals by Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. All are underlying goals throughout the year but im setting specific targets for myself each quarter

theres no role queue, everyone feels v viable. my issue with ow2 is that some heroes are just flat out neglected cos their kit is extremely weak or they get nerfed to oblivion

i think i find marvel rivals too easy but that might be due to the fact everything feels v strong, which i like

honestly once this app has dm gcs, theres no reason for twitter loool

im not gonna live tweet footie or wrestling btw. or matter of fact, engage with those topics on here. this will purely be for art related stuff and maybe sometimes other stuff i like but those posts will be scarce

watching people just beat each other up in a theatrical manner and use that as a storytelling device... so peak..

pro wrestling really is one of the greatest 'mediums' ever

wallahi add that and theres quite literally no use for me to be on twitter

bluesky PLEASE ADD TWITTER DM GCS

KENDRICK MY LIFE IS YOURS

yuck

basically the moral of the story is: learn fundamentals !!!!!!!!!! don't draw for other peoples validation!!!!!!!!!!

i decided to stop drawing that anime oc style art and instead went back to what i knew best. i adopted a very painterly style approach and with a course i used (thank you ahmed aldoori), i had an actual focus with what i want and yeah it fuckin worked. now I'm like very confident with my art

then idk what happened, but in 2020. i decided enough was enough and started to slowly practice fundamentals, my art was getting better. then in 2021. i decided to go extreme and completely re-learn what i know about art

thats the underlying issue for me and maybe other artists struggling, i was drawing with no purpose. with no guidance. there was no improvement cos i didn't bother with the fundamentals. u cant really build a house if u don't learn how to carpentry, scaffolding, constructing etc. i felt v lost
