The human brain is better than any AI; my mind can auto-generate stuff I've never experienced in a dream based on shreds of context.

#one time it constructed the plot to a movie I really wanted to see #[it wasn't accurate but it was still enjoyable] #y'know. new landscapes #and the sensation of slamming into concrete or vertigo. #man. if only I could lucid dream... #dreams

i think what’s on a person’s nightstand is very telling so reblog this and put in the tags the things you have on your nightstand

#it's definitely a shelf that serves the same purpose #it's where I dump craft supplies like duct tape glitter glue and upholstery thread. #also my emotional support water bottle.

(you don't have to answer if u don't want to, i just wanna spread this around)

ask game time!! :) -> List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! ⍝(•⍵•)⍝

This is nice, to take a moment to think about happy things.

Being around friends and family

The sound of trains in the night

Seeing art made by another person. It never gets old. I think we've all been blessed with creative capacity and I would happily spend eternity creating and enjoying what others have made

receiving physical affection

My music playlists. They've never been better

#Wishing you all a moment to think about happy things #And then the good fortune to experience them.

Anyway if you see this you have to reblog and tag with a delight from ur day -- even the littlest thing counts

#It rained. like alot #almost nobody was at work cuz of the rain. So it was a very chill day.

You can choose whichever particular shade you prefer within a category. ("Red" could include auburn, copper, strawberry, etc.) But whatever you pick, you're stuck with.

#I would readily accept permanent red hair! #Auuugh I lost the genetic lottery cuz I could've gotten it from my mom... tsk

:D yeah everyone was right! it was really good. I liked it a lot :]

alright done putting it off starting reading Dungeon Meshi tonight.

#considered live reacting every so often [but who really cares] #so many great characters. I don't think I disliked a single one! #glad to have this story in my mental library now.

Anyone passing by have tips for getting better at art (and importantly, feeling good about making art) that aren't just "keep practicing"? Like idk some sort of actionable exercise I can do and go "oh yeah this helped" or memorable advice quote to motivate me? Just some way to like, measure my progress in drawing to get through the slog of "drawing until you get good"?

Like idk, as a metaphor, if someone said "I want to get fit" then "exercise every day" would be accurate/true advice, but not really helpful? What kind of exercise? Cardio, weight-lifting? High or low impact? Individual sport or team sport? Exercise that requires equipment (a machine, weights, poles, etc) or stuff you can do with just your body?

Basically I need the equivalent of that. Specific, actionable drawing tips that are something I can check off like a list to feel like I achieved something. Instead of a vague "just keep drawing and one day you'll be good/feel like you're good at art"

#My method is to take it less seriously. get some paper you don't mind messing up and just #go crazy. I love sketching with highlighters and going over it with colored pen [it's a method that is fun and can look good easily] #this is traditional art advice. though the skills can translate to digital #alternate between using reference and just winging it from memory #use pinterest! look up the kinda things you'd like to draw(scenery/poses/outfits/etc) and then ^go crazy #be ok with doing it bad and focus on doing it fun. #hope that was coherent
