I recently learned that my dog has a benign tumor. This, along with utilities, supplies, and bills has forced me into a pretty tight predicament. So for the next four to six months, I will have 20 slots open with a quarter/half of the proceeds going into the savings goal.

Hey CALIFORNIANS!

If you are eligible to vote, DO NOT sleep on this one!

VOTE yes on Prop 50 to counter Texas' attempt to stack the House!

This one of the few times a ballot measure has nationwide impact. It's super important, more-so than than even a Presidential or Senatorial election!

One of the things I learnt doing perspective is to not fully follow the laws of anatomy and physics. Sometimes the body IRL looks weird, so use the rule of cool when drawing. As in, does this look anatomically correct, or does it look cool.

This doesn't ALWAYS work (like my Lucy beach one)

🌸 𝕡𝕒𝕡𝕣𝕚𝕜𝕒 • ♥︎ @paprikalady.bsky.social · 2d

One thing I've learned from using real pics as reference:
Proper anatomy can still look weird depending on the angle.
As you can see, her entire left arm looks odd from this angle and pose.
That's why sometimes we need to "break" the anatomy a bit to make it look more interesting in art.

He's a very sleepy guy. Fits the stereotype of a Rainwing perfectly.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
