#

Thaanks

#

Ima hit the hay now though

#

Can’t believe how fast the weekend went by

#

Ill prob put a five hour timer or sum so I can wake up a bit early

green horizon
#

👍I’ll ping you when i get back from training tomorrow

green horizon
#

@vale meadow

#

First day of training complete

#

How’s your work going?

vale meadow
#

So it safe to say it’s not going

#

Waking up at 1pm is crazy even for me though

green horizon
#

What the hell💀 💀

#

When did you got to sleep?

vale meadow
#

And woke up a 5 30 or around there

#

I did literally two assignments

#

Then at like 7 am

green horizon
vale meadow
#

I went to sleep again

green horizon
#

Yup that’s exactly why. Early enough to justify going back to sleep. Late enough to oversleep/ruin sleep schedule

vale meadow
#

I didn’t really need to do that a long time ago though, must atill think I’m that hardworking motherfugga I used to be

green horizon
#

It’s the going back to sleep after too much time passed thing that really trips ppl up

#

Little did i know i coulda said something because i was also awake at 5:30

#

I got three hours of sleep, headed to work, did some slightly boring computer lessons, and I’m still not sleepy

#

I’ll never underestimate caffeine again

vale meadow
#

I heard caffiene is a drug

green horizon
#

It really overstays its welcome in your system bro

vale meadow
#

Give me one sec, im playin a hard core ah game wer every second I lose makes me weaker

green horizon
#

Win or I’m banning you

vale meadow
#

It’s not really a game you can “win” though, as in, it has no end. I’m one of the top players though

#

So that could be considered “winning”

green horizon
#

Damn.

#

Wanted to abuse my power

vale meadow
#

I mentioned the game a few times here

#

It’s called Overmortal

green horizon
#

I think i remember

#

Unless I’m thinking of the wrong game

vale meadow
#

Its an idke game

#

Idle*

#

Though you have to play it everyday to stay competitive

#

Idk why most idle games are like that

#

If I need to put time into you every single day, you are not really that idle

green horizon
vale meadow
#

Yea

green horizon
#

Tryna decide if i want to take a nap rn hmm

vale meadow
green horizon
#

You know what

#

Yeah

#

Time for some Zs

green horizon
#

So. That was a lie apparently.

vale meadow
green horizon
#

Lol i just gave up and made food

#

Buldak and a bowl of grapes

vale meadow
#

Idk what buldak is tbh

#

Ik what grapes are though

green horizon
vale meadow
#

And vegetables?

green horizon
#

Oh wow the pic is super low quality

#

Noodles

vale meadow
#

Know of them

#

Those spicy noodles right?

green horizon
vale meadow
#

I was like, “did he take roids?” Then I was like, “nah, he been on them”

green horizon
vale meadow
#

It’s insane how all the comments are saying how bad this guy is though

vale meadow
#

Saw an instant increase in productivity

green horizon
#

What that productivity do

vale meadow
#

Been studying art all day

#

From 12 30 am to now

#

With like a total break time of 2 hours

#

I actually didn’t draw much at all

#

But I studied a lot

green horizon
#

Wtf that’s great man

vale meadow
#

Like anything i drew today

#

But I am for sure working on my weaknesses

green horizon
#

Ay that’s alright. At least you can actually direct focus on it now

vale meadow
#

Was a nice session

#

But I definitely need to make plans for more efficiency

green horizon
#

👍 just make sure to have a decent balance of input of information and output

green horizon
vale meadow
#

Im still wet

green horizon
#

Idk if you watch content like this, but this is a great video to listen to while you do sumn else or even to watch by itself

vale meadow
#

Hold on

green horizon
#

Then yeh good vid^

vale meadow
#

But I’m actually still watery rn

green horizon
#

I was gonna say “you coulda dried off first at least💀”

vale meadow
#

I just clipped this off a video

#

Like my second time using this feature, but that was too crazy

vale meadow
#

I rushed since it took a long ah time

#

Like an hour or two

#

But I still like the final

green horizon
#

The knee has really nice form

vale meadow
#

I forgot the most

#

Cuz I spent the least time on it

#

I districtly remember the knee having like three bumps though

#

The middle bone at the top, then the other bone thing coming down

#

Then the side leg bone thing

green horizon
#

I don’t think i ever got around to really studying leg anatomy haha

vale meadow
#

Leg anatomy is probably the least and most important thing to know

green horizon
vale meadow
#

Finally found a pirated version of overlord sacred kingdom

#

But the animation quality was az, I was like “I know yall aint hype this shi up”

#

Then I did some more searching

#

And I saw a pick of it in a moive theater, it looked wayyyyyyyyy better

#

I guess ima just have to watch this pirated shi, then once a better pirated version comes out, watch it again

green horizon
vale meadow
#

Just had to remind everyone that I was the one who revitalized this barren land after taking it out of the claws of death

vale meadow
#

Like a slapped a fuggin lego on there

green horizon
#

Thas funny as hell but ay it’s something to focus in next time

#

@vale meadow do you remember this fictional world we made?

#

Even did concept work for it

vale meadow
vale meadow
#

I tried to go to sleep at 10 sum and wake up at like 5

#

Like I used to do

#

But I just woke up now, probably cuz I was hot asf

green horizon
vale meadow
#

Nah, I aint tired

#

I’m actually setting up my weights rn

#

Ganna lift, i havent done that in awhile

#

So I hope I don’t break my bones

green horizon
#

🔥🔥may it go well lol

#

Imma try to stay up til at least 3 or 4. Gotta prepare for my overnight shifts

vale meadow
#

But yea, I would hate overnight shifts

green horizon
#

It’s weird cuz i feel like I’ll enjoy it. 10pm-6am at a breakfast spot isn’t gonna be super lively or anything

vale meadow
#

I don’t think it’s ganna be lively anywhere

green horizon
#

Basically being paid to sit and wait most of the time since serving already has wait times built into it

green horizon
vale meadow
green horizon
#

That’s fair

vale meadow
green horizon
#

I don’t think most people, even ones who consider themselves night owls, would wanna give up their nights like that

green horizon
vale meadow
#

Ipad on 1%

#

Charger is disassembled somehow

#

Hopefully I can reconstruct it bfor dead

green horizon
#

grief welp more reason to go workout

vale meadow
#

Ur right, ima go get on that

vale meadow
#

But I did one deadlift

#

I spent the other time procrastinating and learning the form again again, cuz I aint wanna snap my bones

green horizon
vale meadow
#

Oh, I thought I explained the situation

#

Seems like I just left with a rc

green horizon
#

What’s the situation lol

vale meadow
# green horizon ?

So basically, this guy/girl idk maybe they identify as an attack helicopter, anyway they were saying like “500 bucks, jus show me the nud—“ im kidding, but like they were really like ill give 500 bucks to anyone wanting to be a muse

#

Idk what a muse is

#

But it seems they want photos

#

Problem is

#

They said this

#

2/3/25

#

So okay, I’m like, this got to be a scam now

#

Cuz how nobody took that easy 500 bucks yet

#

Problem is

#

The attack helicopters actually looked legit

#

Problem is

#

They only sent four messages total in the server

#

So what I’m thinking is this attack helicopter a big problem

green horizon
#
  1. Probably a scam yeah
  2. Even if it is legit there’s no evidence this person wouldn’t spread ts online or use it for other foul purposes
  3. If they do mean nude photos, you’re still a minor, so I’m pretty sure that’d automatically be considered cp (though I’d have to look that up to be sure)
#

Also no proof they’d pay to begin with and asking that as an open invite in a discord server is kinda strange anyway

vale meadow
green horizon
#

500 for headshots???

vale meadow
#

Problem is they aint even get back to me yet, so I can’t even try to scam the scammer

green horizon
#

They lyin like a mfrasitas rasitas rasitas

#

Go on Pinterest brorasitas rasitas

vale meadow
#

Even the message they first sent seemed like a bot reply

#

But I needed to try and get them 500 bucks even if I knew it was a long shot

green horizon
#

Yeahhh I’ve been seeing a lot more scam bots lately

#

Ones that join a server and go straight to a random person’s dms without ever chatting w in the server mostly

vale meadow
#

Even a year old is still kinda eh

green horizon
vale meadow
#

Cuz I like not too long ago learned a dude, famous photographer, that took like artistic greek like photos of teens, with partental consent

#

There was a lot of controversy with what he was doing, but I saw a few of the clothed ones, like wearing a toga, and they looked nice as heck

green horizon
#

I’ve read that back then, nude children had a connotation of innocence and youth in some cultures, which was reflected in paintings of the time. But ofc not all of them painted with that idea in mind

#

Whenever i see old paintings though, I can’t even begin to imagine how they achieved the result

#

Tho tbf i don’t dive into traditional mediums as much as i should

vale meadow
green horizon
#

Been thinking abt trying out gouache again. I’d wanna buy a proper thing for mixing once i get paid though

vale meadow
#

Then I remembered that was like a paint or sum

green horizon
#

It’s like a mix of acrylic and watercolor basically

vale meadow
#

I actually just ordered a pentel pocket brush pen

#

Today

#

Oh yea, today is my birthday

#

That’s why I ordered it, been wanting that for awhile

#

I just found this in a video of kim

#

It’s like a nsfw page

#

I should have probably put a spoiler on it

#

But if you won’t tell, I won’t tell

#

Anyway, it’s interesting to see kim draw stuff like that, like seeing a different side of him

#

Cuz none of his drawings I have seen till this day really didn’t have any nsfw elements to them

green horizon
#

What do you want drawn

#

What do you want

#

✍️

green horizon
#

I feel slightly bad pirating from someone i respect like him but his books are expensive as helllll

vale meadow
vale meadow
green horizon
green horizon
# green horizon ✍️

Also you can take your time on this but yeh I’ll do my best to draw whatever you requestroganstare

vale meadow
vale meadow
#

What I do remember though is

#

He was like apart of a clan of feral vampires, the plan was to make them vampires, but move more like wolfs and stuff

#

And he was basically a pshhcopathic killer

green horizon
#

🤔 if you have refs of someone he might look similar to 🫴🫴🫴

vale meadow
vale meadow
#

If you remember the really strong women idea I had

#

Which I did in color pencil

#

She didn’t kill him, but more like took him in

#

But you see, his father, the leader of his clan didn’t like that, though that’s not the point

#

Let’s go get them refs

#

Ipad one percent

vale meadow
#

I somehow lost all my refs

#

I had before of it

#

So I went to collect some new ones

green horizon
#

👁️

vale meadow
vale meadow
#

And not really baby proportions

#

But not too tall either

#

Also moves more like a wolf

#

Also sharp teeth

#

And eyepatch cuz yea

vale meadow
#

Shall now take a bath rq and let my ipad die

green horizon
#

🫡 gonna see what i can do w these refs

#

Send more if you find em tho

vale meadow
#

Tokyo ghoul was a big inspiration for th

#

This*

vale meadow
#

Or I think throne is like onlyfans, but more male oriented

#

Then ill just post feet pics

#

I know some people get paid for that

vale meadow
#

Now maybe ill get banned

#

Hopefully not though

#

My account is done for

#

I can feel it

vale meadow
vale meadow
#

Pretty convincing, but I big brained

#

Once I started making fun of them, they dropped the accounts

vale meadow
#

When someone is asking for help

#

And I ask to see their drawings/studies because they said they have a certain type of knowledge but couldn’t get something else right

#

And then they saw, “wait till tommorw” or sum

#

Then i remind them

#

And they still don’t have anything to show

#

It leads me to believe they were just lying about that

#

Which I also have a basis for believing, cuz I used to kinda do the same thing, I would be embarrassed to ask for critique cuz my stuff was az, and would try to make myself look better than I was

#

Now when I ask for critique, I still feel like my stuff is az

#

But I don’t really try to make myself seem like I’m a good artist, even if people believe I’m worse than I actually am

vale meadow
#

I forgot to give muself some time to step out of my realm on my birthday, so I’ll do that now

#

24 hour timer start

green horizon
vale meadow
green horizon
#

Yeah. Like if receiving negative feedback would genuinely hurt your feelings and immediately cause a defensive reaction, you’re not ready

#

And feedback is necessary but it’s good to learn how to spot stuff for yourself too. The very few times i have asked for critique, i already had a couple things that looked off to me

vale meadow
#

Critique for me would be basically getting there faster

green horizon
#

Mhm. Or “i know this is wrong, but I’m running into a wall on what the solution is and need a point in the right direction”

#

But i love problem solving for myself lol

vale meadow
#

So I usually just explore on my own as well

green horizon
#

Yeah you gotta get real specific sometimes

vale meadow
#

.

vale meadow
vale meadow
# vale meadow .

It might seem like I was pinging that because it related to the convo

#

But nah, a lot of the time discord for some reason blasts me to the top of this thread

#

So sometimes I just put a dot

green horizon
#

Nah you did that the other day i think

green horizon
vale meadow
#

Didnt see

vale meadow
vale meadow
#

To draw my character now

#

Since im done doing nothing

green horizon
vale meadow
#

Now im actually ganna get to work

green horizon
vale meadow
vale meadow
#

So I didn’t see it, I literally just stopped drawing

#

Anyway though, it was so hard that I didn’t get far today, but tomorrow ima pick up whatever little I did today and try again

vale meadow
#

Here are the sketches I did today, and yesterday I think? But they themselves aren’t really important

#

What is important is what I’m kinda figuring out

vale meadow
# vale meadow

So in the gun one, I was basically just referencing kim

#

And today I tried to think back on it without reference

#

And I was really thinking about how to break it down into easy shapes and good proportions

vale meadow
#

I guess ill give myself one message a day

green horizon
#

Something about the angle and form on this one is really cool to me

vale meadow
vale meadow
#

I just noticed I forgot to put the tail

#

I botched it anyway tho so it dont matter

green horizon
#

Special breedcory

vale meadow
#

I said it nefore, I know I said it hefore I remember saying it

vale meadow
# green horizon

A video on mu recommend from proko just came back up, and now it tastes totally different when I watch it

#

, as a wise man once said, “The higher one stands, the further one sees”

#

Now that I hit a new milestone of skill, I can absorb more info from the same info

green horizon
#

Yesss one of my favorite art feelings

vale meadow
#

Like a long while ago, so long ago in fact that I forgot that I completed whatever it was I was doing and forgot to make fun of candy

vale meadow
#

That Fortnite YouTuberr from a years ago

#

I didn’t really watch fornite like that anyway, but I remember him

green horizon
#

If it’s not ninja i have no clue

vale meadow
#

Posting a vid crying and stuff

#

About his like partner

green horizon
vale meadow
#

It was basically him saying he was a,ways forced to play because of a contract they had

#

The comments were like “grown man crying on youtube”

green horizon
#

Ohhh uhh what was her name

#

Sniperwolf??

vale meadow
green horizon
#

Mm i’d have to see to know who you mean

vale meadow
#

I don’t even think I ever watched sniperwolf, I only think I heard of sniper wolf through other pll as well

vale meadow
green horizon
#

Never watched her either but i think she also had a thing where she had a contract with another YouTuber

vale meadow
#

I heard she was like a pron star or sum before she was a youtuber tho

vale meadow
green horizon
#

I’ve never heard that one lol

vale meadow
#

Yea, I don’t know much abt her anyway

green horizon
#

?*

vale meadow
#

Like I usually do

#

Maybe I can find sum abt it if I look it up

#

My ipad went dead like five times today

#

That’s like more than my yearly average

green horizon
vale meadow
#

That could run as fast as a horse and has the ability to swim

#

Glad I don’t have to compete with that now

green horizon
#

Gonna magma for a bit

green horizon
#

@vale meadow an idea sketch of your character. Tried leaning into a younger appearance than I typically draw

vale meadow
#

Not tonight apparently though

green horizon
#

We’ll let it slide. It’s the weekend lol

vale meadow
#

Like giving a new perspective on it

green horizon
#

Yeh i think seeing different takes on a character is really cool. I can draw a more accurate depiction once you do some drawings of him too though lol

vale meadow
#

I aint really been doing nothing this week tho

green horizon
#

When do yoh finish school? May?

vale meadow
#

Idk

#

Ill have to check

green horizon
#

Oh aight. Still caught up on work?

vale meadow
#

No

#

It’s pretty close though

#

Except for Spanish, I think I’m around 170 assignments behind

#

Ill get to that later

green horizon
#

I’ve been trying to get into drawing a little bit but hhh it’s not clicking very fast

#

Maybe I’ll try some traditional stuff. Mix it up a bit.

vale meadow
#

But thats prob because i know I dont know what im doing

#

And pro wont make anything that looks good

#

So im more free per se

#

Maybe traditional will have the same effect on u

green horizon
#

Yeh we’ll see. I find myself loosening up a lot on traditional for some reason. I could also start doodling at work to pass the time

#

Boring as hell in there

vale meadow
green horizon
#

In some ways yeah. If i could wear earbuds it wouldn’t be a big deal at all

#

But i gotta sit there w my thoughts as bg noise or listen to my manager run Instagram reels all night lol

vale meadow
#

I got two of them like a few hears ago

#

I only drew in like 10 or 15 pages

#

They are like really tiny though

#

Like smaller than my hand tiny

green horizon
#

Sheesh

#

I got some notepads that are around that size so i could write orders down. Doodled in one of em the other night with shitty ihop crayons

#

Maybe smaller pages feels more low stakes and easier to draw in idk

vale meadow
#

Actually

#

Idk why, but I just realized

#

My ideal drawing size is wayyyy bigger than I been drawing at

#

To put it in perspective, i been drawing the head the size of a finger, but I actually need the head to be the size of like half my hand

green horizon
#

Yeah man…you draw too small a lot of the time

vale meadow
#

Yea

#

Bad habits die hard

#

I never knew what that meant

#

But it sounds kinda cool

green horizon
#

🗿 draw big

#

Take up space

green horizon
#

Not expecting participation but i feel like i should let you know when i do these

vale meadow
#

Right now I found a video of proko doing different layins for 2 hours, and watching it has really been a big help

#

So I wanna apply some of that right now, ill join wen I finish though

green horizon
#

Layins?

vale meadow
green horizon
#

Oh i see

vale meadow
#

A layin by jeff watts

green horizon
#

Oooo damn that’s cool

vale meadow
#

But it’s still super helpful to watch him do it, and the reference is also shown

green horizon
#

🔥welp I won’t keep you from your application. I’ll be in magma👋

vale meadow
#

Probably an hour or so

#

If u r still in there

green horizon
#

Probably will be

vale meadow
#

Like two hours trying to do this

#

Almost two hours

green horizon
#

Ay i see the vision though. Wouldn’t consider that a waste

#

And it looks like you drew it a nice size

vale meadow
#

Yea I did, it’s basically the entire page

vale meadow
green horizon
#

Understandable

vale meadow
#

Ima just stick with more realistic stuff

vale meadow
#

This was the ref btw

green horizon
#

Ah you captured the general vibe

#

Gonna take a nap but this was 2h of magma (excluding the drawing from last night)

vale meadow
#

Guess ill get sum to eat

#

Then maybe draw sum more

green horizon
#

👍I’ll probably be up in an hour. I can run magma again

vale meadow
#

Since it was just sitting there, I went on ahead and made a few simple edits

#

Instead of trying to get all those fold lines and what not in the clothes

#

I just erased all that, smudged the clothes with my finger

#

And put some lines though to show folds

#

And I used my pen to fill in more of her shorts

green horizon
vale meadow
#

I been working on my spanish

#

From like 2am i belive

#

I so far have gotten

vale meadow
#

I just checked after I finished this writing

#

Which I will probably get a 5% on cuz I literally did the bare minimum

#

Maybe even less

#

But anyway, of the 180 something assignments I started with

#

Im down to 123

green horizon
#

Sheesh man how long are those assignments??

vale meadow
#

They actually aren’t long at all

#

My average time on them is around 3min

#

It’s just the sheer number of them

#

But well ima also cheating like crazy

#

So that makes things go faster

green horizon
#

Of course of course

vale meadow
#

100 assignments with an average speed of 3mins

#

Is five hours

#

That’s about right

#

Luckily I’m not far behind on my other stuff

#

That will be simple to do

#

I’m thinking of knocking out 100 assignments today

green horizon
#

Might as well try

vale meadow
#

Then doing the other 100 tomorrow

green horizon
#

But still getting that far behind when you were ahead not too long so is crazy

vale meadow
#

That messed up my entire flow

#

And also, I have to do like 22 assignments a day in spanish

#

The pacing is abysmal

green horizon
#

🗿

vale meadow
green horizon
#

Maybe I’ll stop asking questions about that cuz your school seems to be on multiple different hard drugs

vale meadow
#

With people leaving lik that i think it might be unstaffed

#

Probably, idrk cuz I don’t care to look into it

#

I wish I would have started doing this yesterday instead of doing nothing productive

#

Then tomorrow I could have been finished with it

#

Lesson learned

#

Probably ganna do it again someday though

green horizon
#

Hurry up and graduate already

#

Watching this trainwreck is painful

vale meadow
#

I’m naming her azulu

vale meadow
#

But I feel like I’m on the verge of a breakthrough

#

It’s probably going to be another few months or maybe a year

#

But I know I’m close

green horizon
#

Long periods of drawing dots and knowing they have to connect soon in some big way

vale meadow
green horizon
#

Yeah. Shih this summer might really be your time to shine

#

Even if you get a job, it still won’t feel quite as restrictive as school

#

(At least imo)

vale meadow
#

School is you go in and you might be stuck there for an eternity

green horizon
#

💯 grief

#

Now that I’m doing the overnight shift and have gotten more used to it

#

I do not think i would recommend this to the average person. Or the average night owl even

vale meadow
#

Yea, the overnight shift is the one thing I would never do

#

The time just is not good

#

I would probably be dying up in there

green horizon
#

It’s just so outta sync with the majority of society

#

And maybe i feel that way more because it’s literally just me and my manager working there on weekdays and one extra server on the weekends. They’re also not people i could see myself becoming well acquainted with off of age differences alone

#

It’s not all bad, and that’s something I don’t necessarily mind

#

But a dealbreaker for the average person

vale meadow
#

I think women have a bigger problem with that than men though

#

I was about to make a joke about how that was sexist, but nothing comes to mind right now

#

Guess ill save it for later

green horizon
#

💀

#

For me personally it comes down to the fact that none of them share my interests

#

At allJoelul

vale meadow
#

Some people somehow do that though

green horizon
#

They have maxed out socialization stats

#

I have…close to 0rasitas rasitas

vale meadow
#

Mine is negative

green horizon
#

😭

#

We’ll find people in our lane one day😔 shih i mean it’s not like my interests are extremely niche. Art, anime, fighting games, handful of other things

vale meadow
green horizon
#

Yknow

#

I could not see myself at an anime convention

#

And most fighting game events have a massive body odor problem. Like not even joking they literally have to put signs up telling these people to shower before they arrive

vale meadow
green horizon
#

Oo yeah an art convention would be cool. I’d wanna buy something from my faves

vale meadow
#

I would wanna buy stuff like that

#

The book was like a collection of some of his unseen drawings

green horizon
#

Oo exclusive type sh

#

If only it weren’t so expensive to get collectors items

#

But then they probably wouldn’t be collectors items lol

vale meadow
#

Yea lol

vale meadow
#

Yea, I think half of this is bs

green horizon
#

The first and last points are essentially one in the same. I could see it being an intricate process

#

But be real: most of that weight gets carries by brand name

#

Like how Jordans aren’t very expensive to make but are carried by their reputation

vale meadow
green horizon
#

Nah try sewing something really little. Ts is hardrasitas rasitas

#

Unless you’re an underpaid slave making shein clothes, it’s a very precise art

vale meadow
#

I did want to try sewing at one point, but eventually gave up

#

Mostly because i wanted to make some cosplay for myself

green horizon
#

Aw that’d have been really cool

#

But it’s a hard skill to get into. It costs more to get started than a lot of other hobbies too

I gave up on it early though because I basically forgot abt it

#

Now I’m more into admiring cosplay than making my own

green horizon
#

Ah that’s fair

vale meadow
#

I don’t really talk abt it though

#

Since I think it’s kinda cringe

green horizon
#

Bruhhh

#

I don’t know how to say this nicely

#

But

#

You’re already too deep into what others would consider cringe territory to be self conscious in that way😭

green horizon
#

If you are able

vale meadow
#

Ill hop in

#

And realized no one responded

#

Then I saw no one was there anymore

#

Oh i just dipped like 4 mins afo

#

#

I thought u dipped cuz i said i was gonna dip lol

#

Joelul oop

vale meadow
#

I has to reload cuz mu colors glitched

#

That’s prob why

green horizon
#

Oh i see

#

I need to start practicing full body poses again. Not that i cant do em anymore but

vale meadow
#

I tried some coloring

#

Didn’t really know what i was doing, as usual

green horizon
#

Put the colors on a layer under the lines

vale meadow
vale meadow
#

This make the line appear on top of the colors right?

green horizon
#

Yeah

vale meadow
#

Very useful information

#

I forgot abt layers and atuff

#

Probably cuz I never use them

green horizon
#

If nothing else those are very important to remember

#

Personally i prefer a one or two layer workflow. Sketch and rendering all on one layer

#

Then maybe line work on top if i feel like doing that

vale meadow
#

I just looked back at my 50mw video playing in the background, and it seems like they got one million layers

green horizon
#

They make drawing look so easy

vale meadow
green horizon
#

The average is probably something like
One for the sketch
One for the line work
One for flat colors
One for cel shading
Another couple for whatever lighting or rendering

#

I think blending is easier with as few layers as possible and the sketch gets in the way so i put it all on one layer and render the sketch lines away

vale meadow
#

I dozed off

#

I looked at what u typed

#

And wanted to respond

#

But did not have the will to

green horizon
#

Go to sleeprasitas

vale meadow
#

Felt like I did decent on this one

#

More decent than I been doing

green horizon
#

Get your stride backletsgo

vale meadow
green horizon
#

That breakthrough will happen in no time

vale meadow
#

Lines can only do so much

#

After i did this and this I realized shading is what really makes the drawing pop

green horizon
#

Mhm

#

Good shadow shapes do a lot of heavy lifting

#

Hell, even in lines themselves they can play a big role

vale meadow
#

I was thinking about how his shading method and how it is different from how someone like jeff watts would shade

#

The difference is that jeff doesn’t really touch the white of the paper, he first goes through his shadow values, then half tones, then he might blend the half tones into his white and and shadow values

#

But the light areas never really get touched directly

#

And he can control all this so well because he basically maps out everything before shading like that

vale meadow
#

So it’s already different right there

#

I think in the end, the draw sessions method works better for me if I’m drawing from imagination or drawing an animal or something similar

#

And the jeff watts way works better if I’m doing a figure drawing of a human or something similar

#

I don’t believe the two methods are extremely different, but I do think the draw sessions one is easier to use overall because it requires less precision

green horizon
#

I think having something on the paper to begin with feels easier personally🤔 working from something closer to the middle (grey) rather than the extreme (white)

#

But i also paint from dark to light and let opacity by pressure create the midtones. It’s more like sculpting in a sense

vale meadow
#

Im going to try to do hour hour thing, hour of free time, then an hour of either excrete, schoolwork, or art,or a mix of the three

green horizon
#

I’m hoping you meant an hour of exercise and not excretion💀 💀

But also🫡

It really annoys sometimes when someone keeps bringing up them being adhd and thats why they never do anything/get anything done

#

I mean, I don’t think that many people have adhd that bad that they literally cannot ever control it. I forgot who, but there was even that millionaire guy who had super bad adhd and he……well became a millionaire, and now he teaches kids how to make money

#

Maybe I’m overstepping my bounds here, because I wouldn’t say I have adhd, though I know sometimes people can self diagnose themselves with it, but I am pretty sure you can get something done with adhd

vale meadow
#

It’s just when someone says it so much that you expect to hear about it in every other sentence, it can get annoying

#

Now that I’m really starting to get into shading, I have a new appreciation for these types of drawings that jeff watta did

#

Because I used to just look at the anatomy, but now I notice that really what he is doing is making the shading clear cut and easy to understand

vale meadow
#

Or I assume I know why at leaat

green horizon
#

I hate when people use whatever they have as an excuse when they inconvenience others and make no effort to manage it

vale meadow
#

It’s similar to like a child doing stupid stuff while the mother is right there, but doing nothing, and you know you can’t touch them

#

Like, just get control of your child

green horizon
#

I’ve been struggling at work a bit because my processing can be pretty delayed. Like i hear what someone is saying, but I’m not able to immediately comprehend and respond. That can’t be fixed by medicine or anything

#

But i can manage by explaining whenever i find myself having people repeat themselves too much or simply slowing down so i can really take in the information

vale meadow
green horizon
#

And luckily everyone has been pretty patient w me

vale meadow
green horizon
#

Well they’re older than me but most aren’t what I’d consider old. Besides one of my managers who’s an older guy

#

Customer ages tend to vary, but the men are usually older and the women are usually younger

#

Honestly I’ve struggled w delayed processing since i was a kid😅 Thought my hearing was fucked up but i passed all my hearing tests. I used to just nod or shake my head and hope it satisfied whatever was being repeated to me for the third time

#

Hmm ngl i could see that

#

Don’t ask me why tho

vale meadow
green horizon
#

I watched 2 men walk in then another man who was alone walk in. They instantly became friends and sat down to eat together, talking abt their lives. I thought that was pretty cool

#

I handed them menus and one of em said “man it’s cold in this bitch” rasitas

vale meadow
#

Think we get that from caveman age

#

Men band together to get the mammoth or die

green horizon
#

Fighting game archetypes..men are often the characters that are easy to pick up but hard to truly master. Women’s friendships are a little more challenging to pick up, but you progress faster

#

Obviously generalizing because there are outliers on both ends

vale meadow
#

I was thinking of someone deep or sum shi to say

#

But all I could think of was I agree with this

green horizon
#

Also you showed a drawing earlier lemme go look at that closer

#

O it’s jeff

vale meadow
#

Yea, ima be on him for awhile it seems

#

My focus has shifted a lot more to figure drawing, specifically shading right now, and I don’t know many more people that do it better than him

#

Then once I get good with that im going to switch to peter han for more shape related stuff

#

Then go back to kim again for like just drawing from imagination, creativity, etc

#

I got it all planned out

green horizon
#

And all of that is a few months of work lowkey

#

So much depth

vale meadow
#

But i been setting my timer for three hours, then two hours for a break then three again

#

And this has consistently let me draw for six hours a day

#

For some reason I respond very well to being timed

green horizon
#

I was wondering

vale meadow
#

How I look so handosome?

#

Just genetics

green horizon
#

What do you log as drawing time? Does it include time watching videos and gathering materials? Or is it solely pen to paper time

vale meadow
#

Sometimes when I say drawing, i do mean just pen to paper

#

But thats mostly with my fogure drawings or something similar

vale meadow
#

I should’t have put off drawabox for so long

#

Because it’s actually extremely helpful

#

I got back on it today

#

And drew sausages

vale meadow
vale meadow
#

This thing is pretty fun, just found out about it today

green horizon
vale meadow
#

Daily drawing from march 1st to 31st

#

Seems pretty easy, I’m really there just to steal from other artists though

green horizon
#

Gather that intel

vale meadow
#

I had like a 2 week break and didn’t do anything, don’t know why, but anyway, i only got like 87 more Spanish assignments to go

#

I would have never thought I would ever be happy about something like that

vale meadow
#

The problem is, I have to do like 30 more tonight, which I can definitely do

#

So it’s no real worry, other than I’m not actually learning much spanish

#

I think that class is a failure tbh

#

I feel like duolingo did wayyyy better

#

Idk why I just left it hanging for like a year, maybe ill go back to learning Japanese soon

green horizon
#

If you do commit to that lmk. I need an excuse to hop back into learning too

vale meadow
#

Hablo amar america

#

I think that translates to “I love america”

green horizon
#

It definitely doesn’t 😭

vale meadow
#

I thought I had sum

green horizon
#

L school😔

vale meadow
#

I got it, its mot jablo

#

Its yo

#

Yo amar america

#

Definitely this this

green horizon
#

Feels grammatically questionable

#

Idk why

vale meadow
# green horizon Idk why

Spanish has so many like frammer rules, like you change the word if another word is masculine, so like el nino and la nina or something

#

You can’t say el if it’s a girl

#

And you can’t say la if its a dude

#

And Spanish just has a whole bunch of stuff like that

#

I don’t really care tho, cuz an actual Spanish person would probably still understand

green horizon
#

I remember there being a tonnn of focus on Spanish verb conjugations depending on the subject

#

Hhh songs and worksheets galore for ts

vale meadow
#

Hablar, hablo, hablos, habla, is literally all ways to say hablar

#

And I imprinted that in my mind

green horizon
#

Also

#

“vosotros is ONLY used in Spain. Ignore that one🤬🤬🤬”

#

Vosotros was the plague apparentlyrasitas rasitas

vale meadow
#

Since that detail was never brought up again tho, I forgot

#

I should probably stop delegating mental power to that now

green horizon
#

Yeah probably lol. But ay gl w all those assignments

vale meadow
#

Man, if I could take a Japanese class, I would be 200 assignments ahead instead of nehind

green horizon
vale meadow
#

“String together your own sentence from these words for practice”

#

Well, roughly what I did translates to “the thing is large, the thing is black. The black thing is not small

#

I was too invested in that for some reason

#

I would probably lose my mind if I don’t find fun stuff to do while doing this Spanish stuff

green horizon
#

Joelul might as well start trolling atp

vale meadow
#

99 random ah words/phrases were dropped on me in one assignment

#

I been doing like 60% cheating and 40% actually trying to understand at least a little bit

#

Now it’s 100% cheating, I’m done

vale meadow
#

Forty more assignments to go

green horizon
#

Yeh*

vale meadow
green horizon
#

You doin all of em in one go?

vale meadow
vale meadow
#

I can probably get it down to around 30 or 20 tonight tho

#

Then do the other 20 when I wake up

green horizon
#

Not too bad

#

I’m at work rn. Chill day hhhh

#

Maybe I’ll draw when i get home. Wanna see how i feel if i do

vale meadow
#

I haven’t drawn in a bit, im actually ganna try to complete all my classes before march 1st

#

So I can be ready for the komo thing

vale meadow
#

Finishing all my classes before march 1st isn’t too difficult either

#

Considering im basically at the tail end right now

green horizon
#

Get er doneletsgo letsgo

vale meadow
#

Got it down to 23

#

It actually took like way longer than it needed to though because around the range of 10pm-5am my productivity falls off a ton

vale meadow
#

Down to 9

#

From 200+ to 9

vale meadow
#

Now all I need to do is finish

green horizon
#

Good sht

vale meadow
#

I got approximately 6 or 7 days to do the rest of my work

#

Before everything ends

green horizon
#

Is it a lot!?

#

?*

vale meadow
#

Is around 25 assignments

#

Then add the other 35 for Spanish

#

So no,, it’s not really a lot

#

Just depends on if I do it or not

green horizon
#

🤔

#

Would probably do all of the Spanish work then cut the 25 to 15 or 10

vale meadow
#

I honestly thought feburary had 29 days

#

Looking it up and doing the calculations again

#

I have five days, counting tomorrow

#

So basically I have four more days

#

That time crunch just got a lot more extreme

I have incredible timing as always

green horizon

Impeccable even

vale meadow
#

More*

#

Two unit tests, then two exams

#

The exams themselves take around an hour

#

So that’s already two hours, but I have today and tomorrow

#

So im not too worried about time

#

I also already finished spanish

#

What I learned from that?

#

Como estas? Yo emferno

#

I think I can string together some simple sentences if I put my heart into it

green horizon

2h ain’t bad tho

vale meadow
#

From a server I was in

#

And now we are having a friendly conversation

But everything they ask feels like they are tryna scam me or sum

Now I just got that one elective class I for some reason did not do

Any plans for the summer?

Ig when school ends

#

So probably late may for yoh

Draw

#

That’s about it

Though

#

Im probably going to get back into structured workouts

I been kinda flimsy with that for the longest time because of the school crunch

Sounds like a good summer to me

vale meadow
#

Also getting a job

#

Can’t miss that

green horizon
#

An idea where?

vale meadow
#

Long as there aint no roaches im good

Actually

#

I would probably die if I saw any kind of thing like that, rats, bugs, etc

#

But if the pay is good enough

vale meadow
#

That time an ant colony took over my room?

green horizon
#

roganstare did you leave food out or smth?

vale meadow
#

You should have seen those little fuggers

#

They looked like a little black swarming mass that was moving

#

It was disgusting, creepy, satisfying to watch, and interesting

#

I also learned that when ants are stealing your food, they make a clik clik sound

#

I didn’t know that at first, but I probably could’ve avoided that whole problem when I first heard them sounds

#

I also forgot I said I would send a message in the server everyday for 365 days and string them all together

#

I literally only use this thread now though, so I keep forgetting

green horizon
#

Oh yeah

#

Idk if i told you but I’m quittin this job in late June or mid July

U didn’t tell me

Why do i feel like that’s one of those scammers

green horizon
# vale meadow U didn’t tell me

Gonna save and put my money on a down payment for a cheap used car. Then I’ll dip from ihop and either start school if I’ve figured out what i wanna do or find a different job and keep saving if i haven’t
