@Lina: i basically want to do merch.
Prints, stickers, zines, etc.

Commissions seem way too scary. I am kind of weak when it comes
to people saying rude stuff to me lol.

@Miss Sandman: Ah I see, that is good that the baby is doing well then.

YASSS. pumpkin head!
I made my own prompt as it's my very first time attempting it.
So I might put a hashtag, upload it and open my art account for it lol.

I'm proud of how i decorated. Even though it's quite basic.

@Miss Sandman: Ah that sounds nice.
Not sure about the baby kicking if that's uncomfortable though lol

I am pretty good. I am also tired.
I'm trying to plan out my first inktober prompt.
It should be easy but my brain i think has too many ideas that i have no idea
what to do lol.


@Lina: That makes sense. I have a desk but no real comfortable chair
so I have to draw in bed which could be good but also bad as it can be too comfortable at times lol.

Freelance art is possible as many do it.
As I know many artists who do it.
Plus some also just sell merch like prints and stickers.
And some do commissions so it kinda just depends what you want to do.

Yes it is. I am very bad at making friends. I'm not real talkative so i don't often text
or initiate the first text.

@Amber Lynne: Yeah, my family needs so much help
but we just can't afford it.
But I'm okay. I kinda feel sometimes putting myself in a big project helps at times.

Though once I can afford it i definitely will get the help I need.

@Amber Lynne: I would if I could.
It's not really possible right now unfortunately due to money issues
and insurance issues.

@Priestess of Pie: Thank you i will.
I couldn't stop making art even if I tried lol.
I love it too much.

Make everyone want coffee at odd hours.

How are you? other than tired.

@Amber Lynne: haha yeah that is very true.

Yeah. I mean i still have really bad depression that is going untreated.
But some days are a lot easier than others. :vanora_smile:


@Priestess of Pie: Yeah that is true.
I just want to paint SO bad. Like i have such a burning passion for painting digitally.
When i see vidoes of other people doing it, it makes me feel so inspired. I'm slowly trying to trust myself
and believe myself that I can do it. So i have to often repeat to myself "I can do this"
and it helps. Also drawing out thumbnails before starting a drawing really helps.

I want my art to inspire people or make people happy and like what I draw.
But i don't want to draw what people want me to draw but what i want to draw.
If that makes sense lol.

@Lina: my tablet cannot even fit in a backpack. It's too wide lmao.
But i am working towards getting a smaller one. Plus...IT HAS A DIAL.
In the summer i have to carry all of my art stuff downstairs as it gets super hot upstairs.
Though there is no comfortable place to draw so then i never draw lol.

Ah I see. I feel i am pretty good at cleaning. Currently both my sis and I can't work
unless it's freelance jobs. I currently am working a freelance job i can work from home for captioning.
My sister can't get a job due to menstrual problems which she potentially could have Endo. But we won't know
until we see a doctor and that costs a lot of money. It's all very complicated lol. So I kinda feel I'm the only one who can work
which is how i am trying so hard to get a start on art freelance career.

Ah that sounds fun. glad you have people that are good for you. If I could I'd love to have like a ton of roommates with friends.
Though first i'd need friends lol.

@Amber Lynne: Honestly i think in the beginning of my so called art journey
I don't really think i was happy. At all. And I just tried to do things people liked.
But not what I liked. Plus during 2017 I did not even know fundamentals. So when I found out about them in 2018
I hit the books basically. I studied everything I could find on youtube, pinterest, wherever I could.
So maybe that has helped me a lot. Plus having some new and uplifting music helps too as I got into a new genre of music
and I feel it's actually been uplifting and more inspiring as silly as that sounds.

I always need help naming my characters. Since she is an Alien I wanted not a normal human name.
Maybe galaxy themed name or something. So your free to help me name her. Though i'll probably redraw her
and then you can see what name would fit her. I have so much character designing to do.

@Priestess of Pie: I've honestly thought of making a story line for her and maybe write a story of her
as i use to be a writer before an artist. So sometimes i just think of things for her and her backstory before bed a lot of times lol.

I honestly stopped comparing myself with others. I don't do it as much as I use to anymore because
I know they've worked for many years to get where the are at.
I think i mostly compare myself with my future self and where I want to be and why i'm not there yet lol.
Sounds silly.

@Amber Lynne: tbh i don't think anyone did lol.
Not even myself.

Though i'm still in the phase where i don't like my art much or i don't feel
many do. I like maybe one or two pieces at a time. So i'm constantly doubting my skills. I'm trying not to as much as it just
acts up my depression a lot and adds unnecessary stress to me.

I really love colors. I might even ask ideas for a new name for her.
As it still has the name my ex gave her. And I just want nothing of him glued to that piece
because I do love the character. Just not anything associating it with my ex.

@Lina: i don't think we have any cafe's nearby.
Though the thought of going somewhere in public to work on art stresses me out lol.
But maybe one day I'll do it.
Plus...my tablet...is honestly too big to carry around. :vanora_sweat:

That's good. glad you live with people you like.
I honestly don't think I can live with anyone other than my sister.

@Amber Lynne: i'll probably redraw my alien witch piece I did like...2 years ago.
it never got finished because i didn't use a reference for the pose at all.
I actually want to redraw that one though because it kinda holds somewhat bad memories for me
since i drew and made that character when i was with my now ex.

Very true. Though looking at that piece i can tell i have improved at least with faces and heads.
And i struggled so hard as i first drew it when i didn't have a tablet.

@Amber Lynne: True everyone has their own opinion and experience as well.
I use to want to make nice traditional art so i could do like post cards or something.
But makes me too nervous i'll probably have a mental breakdown over that too.

Art makes me have many breakdowns haha.

Makes me happy to hear that since i've honestly been struggling for months
and thinking "I'm not improving at all."

@Lina: though i wish i had my own room as sometimes
it's hard to concentrate on art studies as my sister can be very chatty
and i just wish for her to be quiet but if i do it may come off as rude. :vanora_sweat:

I could probably spend several hours alone playing games or making art and studying art.
All I do is art or talk about k-pop.
But i only really talk to my sister about all those things as she is currently just
my only friend i have.

@Amber Lynne: probably why i don't do traditional art.
No layers and undo buttons.
I work with a lot of layers though i'm noticing. At least 20-40 layers I use lol.
It doesn't seem like it though since my art is pretty basic. :vanora_sweat:

I only do practices in traditional. Everything else I do digital.
I don't think either is easier than the other. Mostly because i've been struggling very much to the point
of many break downs over digital art alone lol.

@Priestess of Pie: Very true. It's just overall good to use references.
References are just nice to have and use.
And yes that is also true.
