#art brain

on today’s episode of things that aren’t important to anyone but my inner child and i: i started working in a hardcover sketchbook!! hardcover sketchbooks have always made me feel really scared and like everything i make in them has to be beautiful and perfect and recently i’ve reconnected with the part of myself that makes art to feel safe and happy and silly so i feel excited to just to keep creating and to eventually look back at this work and think “i had so much fun making that”.

So a little longer post, but just needed to write the idea out lol. Yesterday's lady design and story has taken over my brain. The clothing , her rich girl outfit, is something I really like, but I'm not sure about the hair.

Here are the four hairstyles.

This lady also has a disguise, not sure what it could look like. I want it to have a robber style but not sure what style of robber I want (western, bandit etc). So drew something that reminded me of that.(not taking the designs seriously)

It's late for me so I'll visit the ideas in the morning. And will be drawing her love interest hopefully.

Love it when abilitytodraw.exe just stops working in my brain.

Now I might be scrolling through the fancy side of tumblr but every picture I see my dumb art brain goes OOOO ANATOMY STUDY and I pause to mentally block out shapes so oof

When a creative idea sparks and, before you even realize what you are doing, you have taped your edges and gotten started - using your coffee - before the idea can have a chance to escape you… 😅

Animator Brain is 100% a real thing because I just had a tangible reaction to the revelation that I can draw something real quick and then immediately color and finish it in the next several hours if I wanted to

After 4 years of art school I forgot that you can draw for fun sometimes, actually

So im about to say something that may be considered mildly unhinged.

I find the asthetics of the depressing choking stranglehold of capitalism that permeates dying cities that you can tell once were major centers of traffic now mostly vacant and filled with individuals pushed out of other locations by gentrification and wracked with poverty, artistically pleasing.

To clarify, that is were i live and im among the improvished people pushed out of an area due to gentrification, i am not a privilaged person romanticizing poverty, i just find the beauty in most depressing of places.
