My daughter is a songwriter, poet, and photographer. Carah Gedeon wrote a song, and it debuted on Spotify and Apple Music. I am a super proud MOMMA. Reminds me of Mazzy Star

Here's my first drawing since childhood. I started out using pencils but after a couple weeks I switched pens. 8/14/25

Haha! I have an iPad with procreate for my kids to draw but I don't care to learn it. I interact with screens enough already, the paper gives feedback and shows me my mistakes instead of correcting them

I started drawing 7 weeks ago, practicing daily. Here are a few drawings from this week

Lovely, I should check to see if my library has any art programs
timerival.net
Yes, very. It definitely gets me in the zone

Grab a cheap ballpoint pen and some printer paper. Fill up a page with circles of various sizes as a warmup. Then grab another page and draw a coffee mug or some other simple object you can study carefully. If you enjoyed that, do it again the next day and so on

it's all the old fashioned way, drawn in a sketchbook and I took pictures with my phone. the flute is graphic liners, the mountains are highlighters, the tree is a brush pen

Sure, why not!

Wow, rarely do I have a post pop off like this, thanks for the encouragement! Check out my music in the pinned post and help me buy some more art supplies!

just experimenting!

It's just something I always wanted to do but never did it, no training or classes. I decided when my kids went back to school in August I was going to pick up some good habits and ditch some bad ones.

No course, just bought some art supplies and started doing it. I try not to wait around for inspiration and just jump in. Something usually happens

Same, I also had a good run with Cubase and Nuendo but they were buggy and not worth the yearly paid updates.

I used logic for a couple years back when it came in a giant box. I ditched it when switched back to windows. Mac wasn't really for me

Reaper is the end of a long line of DAWs I've used over the decades. The license is cheap and the updates are frequent.
