i wanted to do a “post a ship each day for a month” sort of thing to get myself to draw more, and then i realized i don’t have enough ships to fill out an entire month😭

i go cry :,))

i mean sure i could repeat them, but the fun was suppose to be in not repeating any :,))

i have OCs that are couples, but i don’t count those as “ships” for me cuz they’re together due to the story so not necessarily a “shipping��� thing >.<

this is so weird

it’s always “when drawing always use a reference” and yes this is true. good advice. drawings usually land better when you use a reference BUT for some reason i feel i draw better without one ??

idk. it’s like more fluid ?? or maybe i burn myself out looking for a reference and nothing remotely resembles what i want ?? or i’ve gotten to the point where i know and understand what i’m doing so well that i don’t need the reference anymore ??

is weird

someone teach me how to draw >.<

like how do i draw better, more fluid, just… T_T

also where does one find good references T_T

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Support real artists ☀️

Artists.

You do not need your Twitter.

Twitter is not the boost you think it is anymore.

I have seen at least 6 people I follow on BlueSky saying they have looked into their numbers and compared to Twitter? BSky gives them over double the exposure and follow through for outside links (probably because Twitter kills your tweet if you have links).

Twitter is testing a feature to allow other users to click a button attached to your posts to put your art into their Grok ai and make ai art with it without your permission automatically.

It is marking non-ai art as being made with Grok (probably to promote it).

You do not need Twitter.

Twitter needs you.

Starve the fuckin thing.
