7 and 9?

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate?

Okay so first of all the lame but completely true answer is pretty much everything? lol. Any kind of art I don't already do is either 'GOD I wanna get into that' or 'GOD how did you DO THAT!!!' One that I really have no intention or interest in doing myself that blows my mind every time is like marble sculpture-- like first of all have you SEEN some of the crazy shit people have gotten away with making out of STONE, SOMEHOW and also on principle the idea of doing subtractive sculpting a) in general and b) on a BIG CHUNK OF BEAUTIFUL STONE gives me so much anxiety, I don't know how they do it lmao

9. What are your file name conventions?

There are so many artist memes about file names being something like dfkjhkdf(2).png that I wonder if I'm in the minority here?? but honestly usually just something short and descriptive, so I can hopefully know what a file is just by looking at it. I really only run into problems when I'm doing, like, a doodle page with no specific subject or theme and I already have a file in that folder named 'sketches' or '[oc name] doodles' or whatever-- I've got a handful of '[oc name] doodles again' or 'more [oc name] doodles' haha. If I'm going to post art in a couple of separate chunks they'll usually be saved as [file name] 1/ 2/ etc. I also sort my art folders by date, so whatever I just drew is at the top and I don't have to worry about what I named something to be able to find it pretty easily haha

ask me an artist question? :)

#vegathelich #thank you!! #you know I said this ask list would be 'head empty none thoughts' to answer but #I did actually have to think about what would actually be a GOOD answer to that first Q besides 'Yes' lmao #ANY kind of music would be another top answer although I dunno if getting away from visual arts is in the spirit of the thing #my brother is a musician and I really and truly cannot understand how he does it like? composing?? music??? HOW???? #I could probably come up with a melody but ANYTHING else is witchcraft to me #as for file names on the one hand I cannot understand being comfortable with having indecipherable file names #like for organizational purposes that would drive me insane #even though I sort files by date I still often put character(s)'s names at the beginning of the name so I can find em easily #but on the OTHER hand I DO fully understand the feeling of 'okay what's this art's Name' 'fuck man I don't know??' #this for me is one of the biggest drawbacks of patreon kjhdfkj 'this post needs a Title' oh god idfk just let me post it' #about me #not art #ask thing
