idk. too many people drive like they don’t realize (or care) that they could die and/or kill someone. as a result of the way they are driving. sorry if i sound lame or ancient i just feel insane witnessing the lack of concern on a regular basis. The vehicle you are in is thousands of pounds going many miles an hour. do you know this
#there doesn't go a day without me thinking about this#i feel like some people are actively trying to kill others i guess#and when they don't use the turn signal like that's the least you can do

Because a few have asked
Teaboot's Super Okay Guide To Developing A Brain That Makes Art Work
Or: How to get your eyes to talk directly to your hands without your brain micromanaging you
Or: How to draw better
⚠️ Warning for super fast gifs cause they all gotta be 5 seconds or less or else my phone shits the bed ⚠️
1. Do the following exercises. Don't just think about doing them or figure out a clever way to not do them, just do them. Yes even the boring ones and the ones that look ugly
2. If you have any pride, crush it. Kill it. Crunch it up into itty bitty bits and feed it to the ducks at the park. You have no talent and don't know anything and everything you make is hot garbage. Believe that. Make yourself believe that. That is where you live now. Surrender any indignation or shame you have to the void and embrace rock bottom.
3. Read step 2 again and actually do it this time. My methods will not work if you try to make this process pretty. Don't.
4. No drawing from your imagination on these. Actually draw from real life. If it's boring like eating day old oatmeal in in beige room but your usual art still feels wonky then I'm talking to you specifically. You can't write poetry until you learn words and yes learning words is as dull as horseshit sometimes but do you wanna be Robert Frost or not
5. Pick up some cheap paper and a ballpoint pen. Grab a small object, between the size of your hand and the size of a microwave. Set a timer for fifteen minutes. Put the tip of your pen to the paper and press "start".
Now without looking at your paper, only looking at the object, draw the object in as much detail as you can. Do not break contact between the paper and the pen tip until the timer goes off.
This is a continuous line drawing, and you're doing it in pen because you need to know what rock bottom looks like and rock bottom looks like no eyes no erasers no shading no do-overs.
6. Sit down in a public place. As someone walks by, draw their their body in as much accuracy as you can before they are no longer in view. Once you can't see them anymore, the drawing is done. No adding details. Pick someone else and do it again. No "base sketch". Just them. If it barely looks human you're doing great
7. Get a black pen. Put a small object on a dark, flat surface. Now draw the surface without drawing the object. Don't draw the outline of the object. Don't do a sketch. Just draw the surface that is visible around the object until only a silhouette remains. No time limit just do it.
The ability to draw accurate proportions from sight comes from learning to see what exists between a thing and the absence of a thing and if that hurts to think about then you need to do it more
8. Keep doing these until you are Ready.
9. You will know when you are Ready. It will make sense when you are Ready. You will Understand.
10. Unwind with some goofy shit so you don't forget why you wanna improve to begin with

spin this wheel of hobbies
#it was almost drawing which is one of my first hobbies in my life ever but i got crotchet instead#which is something i started to do a few months ago!!!!!#i need to finish my sweater vest#but doing 38 granny squares proved to be more time consuming than i anticipated#especially since they are not regular granny squares but granny squares with sun in the middle which makes the proccess significantly longe#but once i finish it it's over for you bitches#(said lovingly)

#they don't know where the accent is from but they sure can hear it#and when i went to england and usa everyone asked me where i'm from lol#but they also always complimented me on my english level i guess that's something#but yeah i never thought i don't have an accent it was always there and i don't care#i could probably eradicate it if i tried very very hard but i don't want to and i'm too self-conscious about speaking english#i struggle talking in my native language too and that's why i prefer texting over speaking any day#also at first i thought this poll was about regional accents in everyone's native countries#and i did think about that question very hard as well#like do i sound like i'm from liptov? not sure

My gender is in the face and the other is not a problem
Tagging whoever wants to do this :D
Type "my gender is" on your phone and let your phone finish the sentence, then tag your moots to keep the chain going, I'll go first.
My gender is a little bit more intense than I thought I could have done
@mirukosbitchywife @get-junpeid
#tagged#friends#i wouldnt say it is in the face really but i guess i do look my gender 90% of the time haha#pat
