I used to fake smile a lot. I drew myself fake smiling as well. Drawing myself numb feels like unmasking my art.

Fellow adhders, do you set reminders to contact your friends and family? If yes, how do you prevent task avoidance the moment a notification shows up?

Some colouring studies.
I love drawing clothes. I wanna understand folds and colours better.
I wonder when I'll have enough time and energy for food sketching as well.

An artwork cannot be a good gift. Or so I thought.
As many kids, I sucked at drawing. I guess, it made my drawings shitty gifts. Some relatives showed

I grew up among entrepreneurs. I was also encouraged to become one. So, I wanted to become some CEO of a huge company, work hard, and earn billions.
I'm glad I don't try to fool myself anymore.

I'm afraid of forgetting everything I learn from my character design course so I keep making practice sketches.
Good news: I almost keep up with the instructor's drawing speed.
Bad news: "almost".

I wrote essays for contests at 14. I learned lots of smart English words.
Then, I composed research papers and articles. More smart words, but different. ✨️Academic✨️
These days, I'm creating posts on social media. One of the lessons they teach you first: simple > smart.

My grandmother raised me an artist. She believed in me more than I did.
We used to spend hours in the kitchen. We'd cook, talk, and laugh. She told me stories, fictional and anecdotal. I do not know whether I'd grow into a person I am today without her.

I got my first drawing tablet when I was 11. I drew Finn and Jake.
Now I wanna draw an adventure time tarot deck. I hesitate.
Such deck already exists and is about to be delivered to my door. What do I do?

My first DnD character made me realise I was autistic.
She was quiet. Almost numb. If her friends were in danger though, it was an rageful explosion.
The session itself was the first time when

I suck at creating whimsical places, abstractions, and creatures. I simply cannot imagine them. I thought this made my art boring.
I'm trying to use references for inspiration. Sometimes I succeed. Sometimes I fail. But here's a thing.

Ok now. Today I studied drawing characters in space. I don't have pictures with me, but here's what the master keeps saying throughout the video:
YOU WANNA KEEP IT SIMPLE. THINK IN SIMPLE SHAPES. THINK IN OVERLAPPING SHAPES. EASY AND SIMPLE.

Studying character design with Aaron Blaise: day 3
Today's topic was "eyes". After the lesson, I realized that I need to keep up with what Aaron draws, and for that I need to practice what I learned from the first lesson on expressions.
