Nothing really worked better for me than drawing what I'm genuinely passionate about in th emoment.
Looks like people catch up the emotion and energy that made the artwork happen and they love it. When I ry to push myyself to draw something when I don't feel like it it almost always flops

I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io.

While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍

Flow: community.trueref.io/trueref_gest...
Pose: community.trueref.io/free_referen...
A screen shot of TrueRef Flow, a timed gesture practice tool. It features a woman standing straight, with one hand up in a mage like gesture. A screenshot of TrueRef Pose, a free pose library. It features several images of an athletic woman poses in a variety of different ways.

Here's my usual Monday painting from @maddybellwoar.com 's stream.
A digital painting of a bright, sunny countryside scene. A small house with a tan tiled roof is partially hidden behind lush green trees and bushes. The landscape is filled with layers of greenery, yellow flowers, and tall grass under a clear blue sky. The overall mood is peaceful and summery.

Happy Halloween!! 🎃 Here's a little witchy personal painting in digital 💚✨
A digital painting depicting a moody nighttime scene of a witch's house deep in the forest. The house is half-timbered with stone and a thatched roof. There is a blue, misty glow in the air. The windows of the house glow with orange and green light, and bioluminescent mushrooms glow in the surrounding landscape.

I created this painting for my chapter of an upcoming book, Painting Fantasy with Gouache by @3dtotal.bsky.social 💖🌿✨ So honored to be featured there among some of my favorite gouache painters! 🥰
Photo of gouache painting sitting on a wooden desk, surrounded by painting supplies including paint tubes, brushes and a paint palette. The painting is a fantasy scene in a forest that depicts a tall tree growing on top of a large boulder. The boulder is broken open to display a giant, glowing ammonite fossil. The tree is surrounded by lush foliage and rhododendron plants in bloom.

I'm looking for stories about how AI is killing creative work, and I'd love to hear from you—artists, writers, illustrators, actors, designers, editors, voice actors and narrators—if your job or practice has been hit. This is going to be a big one.

Good news, I'm having my, hopefully, last surgery in a month or two! This should conclude 15+ months of health issues, surgeries and recoveries that put a brake on my art and wellbeing, physical and mental.
