The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..."

Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that"

Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope"

Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine"

Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope."

Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"

Yep and people will ghost you after you answer a question or not show up even tho they say they will.

I figured that’d be a decent starting point. Might have to trawl some art tutorials on it

Holly Bear ʕ ⚆ ᴥ⚆ʔ 📖✍️ @bearhybrid.art · 3h

That’s just it I’ve forgotten how and am not sure how to approach it 😅

Holly Bear ʕ ⚆ ᴥ⚆ʔ 📖✍️ @bearhybrid.art · 3h

No I mean I want to learn how to be detailed with digital again. Not a burnout moment as previously

I've been drawing so much simple colored stuff for so long out of necessity, that I feel like I've totally lost the ability to render. What should I do to get back to it? B&W studies? Detail studies? AAAAAAAAAAAA

This creature makes tiny noises when requested. And sometimes when not requested, I just think he’s neat

Aww Thankyou!

I like the more neutral colors. As a bigger person I lean towards darker, less bright colors personally. That green while beautiful and bright is definitely more of a statement than a casual wear imo

I have enough post-it note school doodles to make a collage :B 🗒️✏️ #BearHybridArt

A collection of post it note doodles. A grizzly catching a salmon, a howling wolf, a startled horse, a snoring brown bear, a dragon emitting smoke, scheming coyote, Kodiak bear wishing for fish, a snarling tiger, and a crybaby giraffe.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.
