Idk what kind of thread I am making.
I was originally going to offer art but I'm struggling so hard just finishing the stuff in my art shop. :vanora_xd:
And I have no idea how long the event will last.
But if it's going to I might end up doing freebs.. Maybe just headshots.
Like this??

The winner who gets the freebie will be decided on how much you post.
If you want to number your posts that would be great[im terribly lazy at reading everyone's posts]
I might choose two winners depending how many participants post

[Sample]
Um..Happy holidays?? :vanora_sweat:

Ohh, that's beautiful. I'd ask for one, but I don't want you to work too hard. D= You should take it easy.

(I also really love your avi right now, btw)

Cool headshot art you have there!

There is something haunting in the light of the moon;
It has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.

@Priestess of Pie: Thank you I quite am happy with this avi.
And I'll try not to work too hard. I can't really promise everyone will get a headshot. I'm a baaad artist.
I put things off for MONTHS. :vanora_cry:

@Fielkun: thank you.

@Priestess of Pie: Drawing is hard.

I tend to be someone who
can't call things finished.
Like the headshot example, I still can't call it finished. Not until I learn to color her skin
completely and everything. It just has flats and I am unsatisifed :vanora_xd:

I'm in such a weird place with my art. sometimes I like it and then i realize
"Yo i suck."
So I am trying to just...teach myself all about art and not be afraid of art[which in some aspects i am afraid to color my work].

@MoodyBats: I've actually gotten pretty good at looking at something and going "it's not perfect but it's done". My biggest issue is just getting started. =/ I have to be in the right mindset and have a clear concept in my brain. Lately I haven't had that.. too many distractions.

@Priestess of Pie: im always like "yeah it's done"
-posts it to instagram-
The hair...it's flat...I NEED TO COLOR IT MORE!

starting is super hard. I've been doing some gesture stick figure practice to kinda help me
break down the body better than just drawing it line for line.
and also learning form and shapes too.
right now anatomy is my biggest trouble.

@Shark: Thank you.
How are you today?

@priestess of pie: Gesture drawing will definitely help. :vanora_smile:
Mine too! and my arms and hands are just...awful.
Like right now I am coloring a piece and she has no arm cause the arm poses i want are very challenging. :vanora_sweat:

@MoodyBats: I still struggle with fingers in particular. Like, I'll read tutorial after tutorial and study bone structures until I'm blue in the face. The concepts all make perfect sense to me, but I still end up with sausage fingers. =|

@kiwi: Thank you. I tried my very best.
and I never used these antlers or the leaves either.
and since they kinda match I went with it.
I tend to try to make avis where i can make easy to match outfits. :vanora_smile:

@priestess of pie: fingers are so hard. I struggle with those.
I think for me it's manly palms and the wrists/arms.
Arms more so than anything.

Well one thing that might help is kinda just recognizing 3D shapes in the body
and then breaking it down that way.

@shark: sorry to hear you're not great.
I'm doing alright, just posting and drawing.

@Shark: Yeah I understand that completely
tbh i never feel I have anything particular fun to say. :vanora_xd:

@priestess of pie: Never really heard of it.
I've just been drawing and practice drawing cylinders as i don't really draw any poses
that require fort shortening as well.

@kiwi: im happy to hear that.
hehe yeah it is true.
