@0v7: Yeah they are.
Mine is around $600-700
and from my art I've only made $28 plus some kind donators over on ko-fi.
But I'm getting back into being consistent after extreme burn out for 3 months+practicing hands.
So hopefully I'll be creating more soon to get my art more attention.

Especially adding more hands as I've drawn 90 hands since June 16th.
So I at least feel proud for practicing hands.

I can't do my day without coffee. I mean, I probably can, but I prefer not to. I either take it black or with a little bit of syrup (agave or maple) and oat milk. Depends on my mood and whether or not the rest of breakfast also has sugar in it. A friend recently sent me some Death Wish coffee; I wasn't sure if the higher caffeine content would bother me since I'm a little sensitive to caffeine, but it's not too much. Pretty good.

@Koah: cinnamon in coffee is REALLY good (also I'm so sorry I missed your post ;A;)


@wrik: coffee is really good!!! do you have any tips for dark roast coffee? I can't seem to like it, so maybe I'm brewing it wrong :0 ?


@MoodyBats: tbh hands are hard, I've gotten a lot better since my middle school "draw them behind the back" days but it's still hard to put them into perspective, y'know?

@Xanthan: my family members spoil me! They took me out today for sushi even though we were planning it on the 17th (my actual birthday) - and they paid for it :0!!! Here's the pics I took - I got yellowtail sashimi, salmon sashimi, and a Rainbow roll !! (not pictured is the edamame and crab rangoon that my aunt let me have some of :D)

@0v7: Perspective and fort shortening.
My enemy right now lol.
I'm not super good at them but I feel after drawing 90 of them I'm getting
a better understanding of them. I want to aim to draw 200 and then see my progress.

Though I'm also studying other anatomy in between.

"You've had too much of the digital love..."


@wrik: med roast is my fave! the only time I had dark roast was when making espresso at home, which might not have been ideal @u@


@MoodyBats: 200 is a lot of hands! That's like, 100 people's worth of hands!! honestly that's really impressive

@0v7: Hands I feel my art without them looks...boring.
And kinda obvious too.
So I want to get real good at hands so I can start adding them into my portrait pieces.
I feel with my work..I'm only good at hair. :vanora_sweat:

So I want to work hard to get even better!

gets a bit harder as well as other various hand poses.

@MoodyBats: ooo imagining a mitten might help with my thumb positioning :0 I'm not great at drawing thumbs lol

@Xanthan: It was sooo good, we were the first order of the day and the food was fantastic! Easily the best meal I've had in the past decade.
Also, hand butts are funny AND useful when learning how to draw hands ^u^

@0v7: You know what I can really load up on if I'm not careful? Those insulated cups that are designed to keep things hot or cold for several hours at a time. I have like 4 of those, but to be fair, I tend to buy a new one when the previous one's paint starts going or if the lid gets too worn.

I really need to work on my coloring. But that requires a better tablet.
Which I'm saving up for but there are things cheaper I need to get in between then. :vanora_sweat:
