Well, that sucks. Hopefully she can explain it better or you're able to figure it out! What stuff do you think you're not going to be able to incorporate? Also I'm on lunch break currently trying to do digital concept art but it's been a while since I did digital…

@soupnana group

So she wants me to draw a picture of her and a character of hers. The guy is supposed to be on one knee like he's proposing and holding her hands. And she is sitting on a couch holding a blanket. It seems simple enough but she wants a profile shot of it and the blanket is really difficult to draw with those kind of elements. And why the heck would the guy be holding her hands rather than hugging her?!?!?

I’m painting simple Valentine’s Day things for my mom and it’s so much fun to just slap some pink on a canvas

Sounds like fun! Now I want to draw SAD (Singles Appreciation Day) stuff as well!

@InstaOnly

Oof. I just remembered I still need to get my mom something. Her birthday is on Valentine's Day so it becomes this weird holiday-notholiday thing for my family because the two tend to sorta cancel each other out.
Also Soup Nana, and why is she holding a blanket if the guy is supposed to be holding her hands? I do get holding her hands though, because usually the one proposing is holding the other's hands or holding a ring box.

Okay, so I'm getting used to digital again after finally getting new nibs. So far I've spent a few hours choosing colors and getting the face to have the right proportions… I need to get better and faster at digital. .__.

Other people: Digital art is too easy! It's not real art!
Me: Digital art is a pancaking pain and I've spent 26 hours on a drawing that would take me 3 if I had just used a pen and pencil

@InstaOnly

Why the pancake would it not be art? I literally could have had the drawing I'm doing done in an hour if I'd done traditional! Digital is so hard because there's not friction on the screen and half the time pen pressure doesn't work and so many other things can go wrong because technology.

I know right? I don't understand people sometimes. (Those people are usually the same people who say Vocaloid isn't music because the voice is synthesized, which is complete and utter garbage)

@InstaOnly

Tbh I don't listen to much Vocaloid but the songs I do hear usually end up on my playlists. But I don't understand why some people choose to be elitists and act like they choose what counts as something. I do traditional sketches but I love doing digital if I'm going to color.

Exactly, I'm not going to go around saying ramen noodles aren't ramen noodles if you don't boil them over a fire instead of using technology, that would be dumb. Why would people say the same to art or music?

@InstaOnly

Oof, sorry I disappeared for half an hour there. Exactly though. No person can decide what counts as something if it's an activity everyone can do whether as a job or for fun. I do art for fun, I don't need people criticizing me if they're just nitpicking based on their standards, but I do want constructive criticism to help me improve. I love art, and eventually want to learn how to animate, so I just try to ignore anything that isn't constructive or at least positive.

Almost every fruit or vegetable will work, grapes are some of my personal favorites, and c a r r o t s work well too if you're feeling extra evil

Lol. Guys, I'm outlining my book and I was trying to figure out the mc's situation. I started writing it and I literally said out loud, "CRAP! That's such a cliche!" And I deleted it all. lol. (Don't worry. It was only like… five words.
