In true chaotic studyblr fashion, I forgot this blog fucking existed
But hey, I just passed my fourth semester with a completed project (a 2D short film, created from scratch along with another 3 teammates) and decent grades! This means I'm halfway through with my degree and despite all odds I haven't dropped dead yet, definitely a win in my book

It was a hella long day, we had a color focus session today, I was the fastest but I am still drained.
I'm really enjoying the studies thought.
Now I gotta get to bed because I have 4 more days to go through.
Ravens and crows,
Which one is one and the other is up to you to decide.
Learning How To Art
A friend of mine recently decided they want to learn "how to art". Id est, how to draw better. What techniques to use. What equipment to keep around. How to get the image in your head onto the sheet of paper in front of you without making it look like something the cat spit out (although I myself rather enjoy scribbling things that happen to be vaguely resemblant of chewed up cat... uh. ...mush? This turned very gross very quickly I'm so sorry). ANYWAY - art!
My dear friendo then proceeded to recommend me this neat little site they found: [drawabox.com]. This glorious page...
...hosts a whole bunch of drawing lessons of varying difficulty.
...is good for absolute beginners and more experienced artists alike.
...alternates between practical exercises and well written pieces of advice on both the mental and executive aspects of art.
...is accessible and user friendly. You can choose to either listen to or read the pieces of text, and most of the lessons also have a complementary video.
...allows you to either go at your own pace or aim for a more structured approach by doing the recommended homework and admitting it for feedback (I'm pretty sure the feedback part is a paid feature though).
...seemingly has a big, active, and helpful community? Not sure, I haven't interacted much with that part of the site yet.
...is free! (except, as far as I know, for completely voluntary patreon sponsored pieces of extra guidance - such as the feedback bit mentioned above - for an added bit of ✨spice✨).
I myself have just started using drawabox, but! I'm very excited about it! I'm very pleased! I like the material! I'm having fun with the exercises! I'm having a good time! So all in all, as much as a complete newcomer can adequately and reliably recommend something, I do recommend checking drawabox out to see if it's your jam. Who knows, maybe you'll be a drawing god in no time? (Or more likely: spend about a billion hours desperately trying to draw a straight line.) Anywho, good luck on learning how to art to us!
That morning adrenaline rush to finish writing the paper with few hours till the deadline
me: attends a predominantly white art university
also me: only choosing classes about bipoc art history and foreign language electives while actively trying to avoid the fine arts classes
