Idk I think the US has some amazing parks. This is not limited to National Parks. Depending on the city or town you might have to drive an hour to get to one, but they are usually within reach. I have also driven cross country on highways and the views in each state is amazingly unique even from a highway.
I could make another version specific for the US ☺

Meal time. You can learn a lot about someone just by seeing their kitchen. Meals are such a big part of our culture and lifestyle. Do you sit down at the dining table or eat on the go? Do you share your meals or eat alone?

Just watched a little video on Bic pens. I have a newfound appreciation for the modest pen. It is just my default writing and sketching tool. Sure I have fancy fountain pens and Microns, and Japanese pens I can't pronounce. But the Bic pen just outdoes them all by how effortless and low maintenance it is while also being crazy cheap. I'm pretty sure I never even bought one, they are just kind of there like a good friend.
Great design is one you don't even think about! It just works.

I don't think it's about art style, I personally don't think I have one. I think what matters is the end goal. What do you want to show with your art? Do you want to capture a moment? A feeling? Or do you want hyperrealism? Or something else?
My goal is to capture a moment - and I feel to get better at it I need to observe life more, get my techniques down so I make less mistakes and get as accurate as possible so eventually I can pick and choose where I focus my effort. So I can be faster.


No problem! It doesn't have to be microns, use what works for you and gives you variety and control.
Sometimes I intentionally use pens that will randomly blot or is heavy lines just to vary it up and give it unique texture. So there really are no rules, you just have to figure out what you like.


It doesn't have to be Micron its just what I have. Honestly I use my regular Bic pen the most 😂 it does give me variety and control. That's really all you need.


Jim Lee's cross hatching has purpose that defines the form. I personally think it's too neat and tidy, but he is masterful at the craft for sure. So its good to at least analyze the work.
Like look at the detail in The Flash's arm. That's all done by cross hatching that follows the form with varying degree of pressure.
 https://image.nostr.build/4a69666d9f910c7209ecea13a6546be63d00835acd12f00906c0a324bdce18ca.jpg

And I just love how he leaves the feet free of cross hatching, somehow that implies movement and lightness.
There is definitely a lot to look at. And definitely practice the technique, whether it is crosshatching swatches or more still life. Find something with more form to it, like a pear or apple. Bowls and rings are hard because you really have to have perfect circles/ovals or it looks wrong.


Here is sort of what I mean. I got kind of lazy on the Microns. I would suggest recreating a comic book page of a style that appeals to you, that's a good way to learn techniques.
Jim Lee is good. Obviously don't claim his work your own. There is no harm in copying great artists for learning purposes. You're always going to have your own unique style.

https://image.nostr.build/7b0500c1b3bbfd271f96c4ee63ed88edf4070bdb4798e3a5957e62bea443fbc3.jpg


I think the problem is your lines are too thick so you can't build up the value. Which gives you less control and ends up just being black. Try a thinner pen and try different pressure. I would just try making value swatches first. Something like this: https://helloartsy.com/crosshatching-value-scale-simple/

Very nice ☺


Yea I can see what nostr:npub17ranr5vpp20etheaz78u6e72pvyc0xk3r6rgnetfvtxc88acat2q4nhenz is saying. You can definitely play around with cross hatching more. Your hatching is very straight and horizontal which gives the appearance of being flat. I do like the simplicity and stylization of it.
But if you want to give the appearance of a bowl I would suggest to play around more. See attached image, despite all the straight lines it gives the impression of roundness. Or not, I think your sketch looks nice either way.

Ooh I see, that looks really nice!


So many shiny things haha ✨


Sometimes I work as a compositor and editor, so I used Premiere and After Effects ALOT. They are so powerful. Hard to find something comparable.
Affinity Photo could be a good replacement photo editing software. It seems on par with Photoshop, maybe I'll try the free trial next month. I like that it is a one time payment.
I'm also experimenting with AI, I dont think its very useful if you want something very specific and consistent though. Its just easy to throw something that looks halfway decent together really fast.
I can keep posting updates of what programs I'm testing if you want.


Just cancelled my Photoshop subscription last month. I am tired of the subscription model. This year I'm trying out different software to see what sticks. I've been using Clipstudio, it's a one time payment on the computer, but on iPad it's annual 😓. I have procreate and dreams. Trying to replace premiere and after effects is hard though. Da Vinci is OK so far.
Do you paint in Photoshop?
I like pen/ink as well as watercolor. Time away from screen is important.


A plastic template? Interesting. How does that look like?


Nice, yea my advice is only good if you have the time for it 😅 what programs do you use? Or do you work more with traditional mediums?


I have this kind of thinking too, "I'll get it when I achieve X" then I never achieve X and nothing happens. My partner just barrels ahead which ends up forcing me to do it anyway. And I have to troubleshoot his problems so I have to get good pretty fast 🤣
So, uh, moral of the story: just do it and force yourself out of the comfort zone. Although, Dreams is not my favorite program. But it is amazing for its price point!


#artistproblems It's so hard not to overthink a sketchbook. I think forcing yourself to sketch daily would definitely help.
For me, it's a matter of the quality, if it's too nice I will not touch it because I think I have to make everything perfect. Sometimes I damage a sketchbook just so that I don't feel that pressure. ie soak it in some kind of light wash, scribble on the page, write some nonsense on every page. I think making small squares in a sketchbook also helps, like a small frame for the drawing, so I can make notes outside of the drawing, or try again in another small frame.

A blank page is the worst page. 😖 Do you like smaller pages?


No, I was trying out AI. It is crazy. I did try out procreate, its pretty intuitive. Here's a small animation I did: https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgecvsp8000zhxxukqcs23vn473cqhwjkrms2cynvdg4z0cd4vwqsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsy6tv9w5faguux9ww6jhj3z7m5d34rz4dge7caftapjhns0hj4dfqrqsqqqqqp85ha9a


Definitely hard to do daily drawings, I want to get back into it too! Keep it up! Maybe this will motivate me 🙃


"Mind over matter" quite literally. If you think you will get sick, you will get sick. If you think you will get better, you have a higher chance of getting better.

And luck is more about being ready for opportunity when it arrives.
You're already doing it by being on Nostr!
If you have a positive outlook everything looks like an opportunity. VS having a negative outlook and never seeing opportunity.

Yes. Dates stuffed with cream cheese and honey. You could add nuts to it or whatever. I had it at an event and was very surprised at how great it tasted.

Ever realized just how much stuff you have? I did not! 😫 thought I would use all this art stuff, but so far I have not (for SEVERAL years now). Just donated to a local charity that uses art and creativity to help teach those in need. 😀 #donation #charity #art #thehoard

Just a thought, I kind of would like to be able to seperate a profile's Notes page by main posts, replies, and posts with images. Or at least have the posts and replies to other posts separate. Is there a way to do that?


Just a quick ink brush sketch. Took inspiration from fashion design sketches look. Keeping it simple #artstr #ink

Just to add on to how mind blowing everything is. "A cube of water, one inch on a side, contains about 600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ("6" followed by 23 zeros, or six-hundred sextillion) molecules! There are 120 times more water molecules in the cubic inch of water than there are stars in the observable universe!!!"

n Guatemala, remnants of the 1976 Earthquake still stand, slowly weathering time. We explored some of Antigua's ruins, an oddly surreal experience. Walking through, I tried to picture their former glory, the lives they witnessed. It felt like a stroll through history, pondering the echoes of the past. 🏛🕰 #GuatemalaHistory #Ruins #ReflectiveJourney #Artstr #Travel

Here is a link from the nostr website: https://andreneves.xyz/p/set-up-a-nostr-relay-server-in-under


For Nostr, a relay are many different servers that allows you to see other people's posts and post yourself.
"Relays are like the backend servers for Nostr. They allow Nostr clients to send them messages, and they may (or may not) store those messages and broadcast those messages to all other connected clients."

If you go to your Settings there is a tab that says "Relays" if one relay is down you have many other options to choose from. Some you have to pay for, which tend to be more reliable. But by default I think you get the free ones which work just fine.
Hope that helps.


Oh yea I saw a youtube "how-to" video on creating your own Insta Celebrity. 😆 Being a devil's advocate:
It makes me wonder if it is more ethical to do this. Why not have an AI generated pop icon created and managed by a team of people than a real person who is created and managed by a team of people?
One is manipulating tech the other is manipulating a real person.
Not like us normies are ever going to meet this celebrity. So what is the difference?
It is not like anybody can create a celebrity of this caliber without a lot of effort or a team of people or some kind of script that is able to post new relevant content several times a day everyday. (At least not yet)


One of my hard drives became corrupted before Thanksgiving. And I finally got the data recovered hard drives back. This is a REMINDER back up your back ups!! Or spend a pretty penny trying to recover your data 😭

I wouldn't call this unpopular. Who wants to read an entire encyclopedia?


Yes.


Yea, I want to stop using my phone all together since I feel like I don't have much control over it and I carry it around way too much, making me way too accessible.


I would probably stop using the desktop then since I don't really use the text or calling.


What do you end up using your phone for? I'm trying to limit phone usage, but honestly I rarely use my cellphone as an actual phone and use it as a small computer.


Err at this point the film industry is about recognizable brands and beating it to death squeezing every last penny out of it. Nothing to do with story, character, or action. 😅


Been oddly fixated on stickers lately. Just tossed in a sample order from moo.com. Pondering the sticker printing game – was eyeing a Cricut machine, but my sister-in-law might have one. If this trial run flops, might resort to printing them myself. Excited to see how they turn out! 🤞 #StickerObsession

Huh good to know! Thank you. I will have to check that out.


Thank you for the suggestion! What do I do if they are offline?

For some reason my posts haven't been showing up. And I can't see other people's posts. I'm hoping this goes through.... I'm pretty bummed out... 😕 I haven't been able to use this platform for a few weeks... I don't know what to do....


Where do you watch it?


Feeling a bit off today, stumbled upon some watercolor crayons in the grocery store's book nook. Ended up doodling around – surprisingly fun. Just went with the flow, letting the colors and lines have their say.

So, dusted off this project from the crypt after two years. Honestly, can't remember what the original plan was. Already had 7 scenes out of 21 animated  - not bad, I guess? Hit a wall with the old storyboards, they were trash. Scribbled down all the ideas I had. Out with the crap, in with the maybe-cool. Did a deep dive into images and vids, got me some fresh ideas. Decided to slap all those screenshots together, turned them monochrome, shuffled them around. Now they're my roadmap. No clue where this goes, but hey, gotta keep moving, right? #process #animation #thoughts

https://void.cat/d/MzFBLpgtr6TMvBB9dTQS1V.webp


Working on concepts right now. Why do all my scribbles look terrible?
This is always the ugliest part of the process for me. Gotta get out ALL the ideas even the bad ones. The skechier the better.

Today is the Day of the Dead. I learned for the Day of the Dead Guatemala has this tradition where they fly beautifully decorated kites. An ancient Mayan Ritual.
I like how creative and heartfelt these rituals are. It's like a vibrant, heartfelt party to honor our loved ones who've passed. We create this magical bridge between us and them. It's like a lively chat with those who've gone ahead. "Don't worry," we say, "we're keeping the celebration alive!" 🕯🌼💀

Organizing files for a project. It is not my favorite part because of the repetitiveness. I am sure I could figure out a code to do this for me, but I swear it's different for each project so not sure if it's worth it.

ANYWAY, what do you listen to in the background when you're doing something repetitive? #suggestions #audiobook #beingproductive #orsomething


What does that mean? Also I only see a green check mark thing.

I've wondered this myself. I imagine it's more like a street fight or a brawl with swords than some choreographed battle where every soldier is synchronized and knows what to do.


Nostalgia, a bittersweet reverie casting a warm glow on cherished moments.
But when we revisit those memories, there's this twinge of sadness, a reminder of what's gone. It's a trip down memory lane. #Thoughts #Nostalgia

Interesting, I am new as well. What is a #zapathon ?


Ah yea, food is another one. You have the illusion of fullness but are you actually full?


Just saw an advertisement of some hotel. And it reminded me of liminal spaces.
Liminal spaces, the eerie yet intriguing voids designed for bustling life, but now devoid of humanity. They whisper stories of absence and evoke an unsettling nostalgia.
Probably was a really bad advertisement if my first thought was something eerie. 😅

Hello world. After a long time of this platform being suggested to me I finally had the time to actually make it. 😅 I guess I am joining at the same time as the Reddit community! So I am not the only new comer. I'm here to explore decentralized tech and toss out all these wild ideas I've got. Super stoked to learn, make connections, and see where our collective creativity takes us. Suggestions? Ready to rock this creative journey in the world of decentralization! 🚀 #Newbie
