What's Flower's opinion on loud and crowded places?

she's thinking about it

[greenacademian]

I fantasize about the future as the present fades in and out of view, overtaken by the dreams held deep inside my mind. Dreams of success and curated achievements. Stability and comfort hand in hand, bringing a new perspective of the family name.

Love and Smoke

This painting is a beautiful and evocative depiction of love and smoke. The roses are a symbol of love, passion, and beauty. The smoke, on the other hand, can be seen as a symbol of danger, destruction, and mystery.

How do i find the motivation to practice art? I have so many shitposts that’ll never come to fruition because my skills plateaued ):

No one else is going to draw my ideas and I'm too broke to pay someone else to do it for me. For better or worse, I seem to approach a lot of things from a "gotta do everything myself around here" angle haha

Honestly—and I won't lie to you—doing art studies is a real pain in the ass, I hate doing them. I never do them unless I've got major art block, and even then I still hate doing them, but it's like taking medicine and I know doing them will make me better. Every art teacher I've ever had's grilled me about this, "solradguy, you need to do 15 studies before the end of the week to get a full grade this quarter." Blah blah blah.

I guess for some people doing studies could be fun, not having to think about pose or composition, whatever, just putting lines down on paper and focus on your reference. One time, when I was still in college, I had to do a certain amount of studies in charcoal so I booted up Red Dead Redemption and drew landscapes or objects from it that I kinda liked. It was enough. I told my professor it was from my grandma's farm hehe

Art memes can be a good way to practice too, especially those ones about drawing in different styles or drawing a character in different outfits. They combine fun with tricking you into drawing things you might not normally draw. Emulating different art styles is the only art study method that doesn't make me want to fall asleep. Don't forget they're just art games though, and especially don't forget:

👉If You Already Feel Burnt Out Don't Feel Compelled To Complete Every Art Meme You Start👈

As you get better at art, you start noticing improvements less and less because they become more subtle. When you're really new to art, figuring out stuff like basic anatomy or shading is REALLY obvious because they're foundational parts of art. Hang on to your really old stuff and look at it every now and then and I guarantee you'll have improved way more than you thought you had.

I get the impression you've probably been at art for a while now, and I don't want to come across as patronizing, but sometimes refreshing the basics can help overcome a plateau too. Drawabox is usually what I recommend to people just getting into art, I really like their approach. Here's a link to their introduction lesson: drawabox.com/lesson/0 And here's one that skips to the actual art stuff: drawabox.com/lesson/1

While it's probably beneficial to actually do the exercises in the lessons, just skimming through reading them can be good too.

Something I've noticed a lot of my artists friends (and artists online) do is try to make every single drawing a finished piece, and I'm like "damn, no wonder art feels like such a chore." My sketchbook is 99% scribbles done in pen:

I use Pentel RSVP fine point ballpoint pens so if I make a mistake I'm forced to deal with it. Doing these rough sketches before starting a bigger piece is something I recommend with my entire heart. Just get a pack of shitty $0.99 pens and doodle like it's high school math class. I like the cheap pens because you can get faint lines drawing lightly and can coax them into darker lines with a bit more pressure (and if you lose/break one it's no big deal).

The best way to get better at art is to keep putting lines on paper. Even if it's just silly pen doodles, you're still improving coordination/pen control, improving construction of basic shapes, exploring concepts, and thinking about art, which will lead to more new ideas and further inspiration.

Sorry this is long and meandering haha Hopefully something here helps at least a tiny bit.

The past few days have been hard for me. I feel as though I’m failing in so many different areas of life and yet at the same time succeeding in others… Oddly enough however, the successes don’t feel as such given the amount of failures at hand. I know I shouldn’t feel as though I’m failing, we are all learning with each passing day. I just wish I could run away from reality for a moment and float in a cool river, suspended in the water. Trees surrounding the river with the only land being a small area in which I could lay. No people, no responsibility, nothing but me and nature… just a moment of peace.

One Day

We will meet one day

Under the starry light

In a field full of blooming wildflowers

Surrounded by legends and fairies

Me, in a fiery gown

You, in a crisp tuxedo

Both yearn to be found by each other

Eyes wandering surreptitiously in the crowd

To get just a glimpse, maybe

Or maybe to touch and feel that you’re real and alive

To feel the essence of your skin

Will it be warm?

Like sultry winter sunlight

Will it be cold?

Like summery ice

Though it deems unattainable

Feels like the end of the world

In between the impossibles

We will find each other one day
