Your precision is just insane! I get so nervous when handling ink sometimes so my lines can be so shaky

Your brush strokes are so delicate and beautiful

there's truly something about sitting down to do things u've been wanting to do that makes the brain shut off

For me its usually setting high expectations so now I have to do the thing perfectly and as efficiently as possible, leading to self-pressure, triggering the anxiety and then paralysis

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

The cardboard wall was hyperbole (but I can definitely see how u could take it literally with landlords nowadays)

It just feels like that cause I've had experiences of tripping and falling against walls here (Canada) and leaving dents from the impact, which is so weird to me

Atlas @cowboyatlas.bsky.social · 1d

Oh I believe it might break a knuckle. In Brazil tho(as far as I recall) all walls are made with brick, no hollow walls. it'll hurt if u punch through a wall here, but you definitely can. Im just used to it not being possible, all you'd do is shatter your hand and do little to no damage to the wall

Atlas @cowboyatlas.bsky.social · 1d

Whoa that's sick!! Need to watch over the garden wall this fall, great piece !

Atlas @cowboyatlas.bsky.social · 1d

As someone who's not from north America, what boggles my mind about "modern" buildings in the cardboard walls

One should not be able to punch through a wall lol

Prolly spent a bit too much time on the background than is the point of the practice but oh well I had fun lol. The dress originally had a pattern but I didn't want to only work on this for the rest of the week lmao

A series of loose figure drawings based on times from the class function on line-of-action.com including a painting in the middle of a fem presenting person kneeling in a grassy yard. The subject of the painting is wearing a black dress and glasses as well as having extremely bright pink hair.

But I do have this older clip from a few years ago doing something very similar, using the very tip of the brush.

Extremely late to the party but started Undertale this week for the first time. Idk what sauce is in this game but it really compels me to draw it

Ive also committed to doing a true pacifist playthrough which I have no clue if its a good idea for a first time player lol

Rough thumbnail sketch next to a work in progress: a light pencil sketch of a hen facing a small bird on a low, leafless shrub. Both pieces are very small; the linework of the work in progress is very fine and delicate.

Quick study of a picture from Pinterest. Part of a sketch spread but its not done yet and I wanted to highlight him lol

Done using only the new brushes from the procreate 3.4 update

#sketch #procreate

Man walking sipping on a beverage with a straw. He's got a navy blue cap on, matching his bag slung over his shoulder. He's wearing a white and blue checkered dress shirt and army green cargo pants. He's also got a mustache and goatee.

"You are seen and you are loved" without the promise of safety or protection is a meaningless, hollow gesture.

We need people to embody "You will be safe, and you will be protected." We need people to actually do something and stand up for trans rights.

When all we want is to be able to exist.

Started using Eagle to organize my reference library since the other place i was using got nuked lol

Issue: have been spending more time organizing and tagging references in the past couple days than actually drawing which is.... not ideal

Atlas @cowboyatlas.bsky.social · 4d

Thank you for the replies! Very insightful, I love hearing about other artists process. Your work is always killer

Atlas @cowboyatlas.bsky.social · 5d

Do you use any reference for these or is it just straight off the dome? Your process is soooo clean
