Is it too hard to ask for tech to work straight from the box?

When you realize you have night light enabled on both your phone and your computer and so you’ve never noticed that everything you’ve drawn is bleached out and not accurately colored. And by everything, I mean every drawing I’ve ever done since 2019

Working on the ✨Itzutsumi ...thing✨ and my Photoshop has given up on me. Trying to do a brick background, so using shapes, and it told me I exceeded 2gb 😔

Photoshop

Why do you curse me like this

Why do this to me

I mean it's letting me continue working but like

Goddamn

Why do shapes take up so much storage

I swear apple pens need to have built in tracking, the way they simply EVAPORATE, call them cotton eyed joe because where the FUCK did it go? Then when you stop looking, its there??? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM??

I just spent several hours on ref sheet for a character and I accidentally got out of the program without saving it. All that work. GONE

What do you mean it was a mistake to have all my colors and shading on one layer? Erm, not it isn’t.

Not to bitch about stuff on main but I hate that my art looks different on different screens. Like, it pisses me off that the way it looks on the screen of my tablet and the way it looks when I’ve downloaded it to my phone is not the same. WTF. I swear my tablet screen is brighter or something

And don’t even get me started on the way that uploading it to basically any social media kills the quality…

Me after shading hair for the past 73 min, tired and decaffeinated, not even done with the hair and on the verge of losing my sanity: Like who even needs hair? Is it worth it? Hair is overrated smh we should all just go bald. What even is hair for? Stupid stupid hair so useless

I feel like technology is out to get me.

I recently bought an XP pen artist drawing tablet, it works great but the pen still draws when I’m just hovering over the screen. I have been troubleshooting it all day…..

I literally just got the tablet yesterday.

JUST LET ME DRAW FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!

Ok, question for the digital artists out there:

I've been noticing my art, when displayed on my phone screen, looks significantly brighter/has higher contrast/higher saturation than on my PC. With some pieces, this is fine. Sometimes, it even makes it look better, but for others, it's way too much. My desktop monitor and laptop (I draw on both) still have the factory display settings, meaning I haven't altered its display settings/colour profile.

My question is, should I just not worry about it because every screen is a little different anyway, or should I try and alter my desktop/laptop display settings to try and be closer to my phone's display, because thats what the majority of viewers will be seeing? And if I should change the display settings on my computers, how do I do it? I tried to do it manually on my old PC monitor, and I'm pretty sure I made it worse lol. I don't really have the money for one of those expensive screen colour calibration devices though.

Like I said, it's not noticeable on every piece, but the ones where I do notice it, it really, really annoys me lol.

Soooo….I recently got my iPad screen fixed, and the guy who fixed it screwed something up, so now my IPad doesn’t respond to my stylus, or my finger sometimes for that matter. It might not be fixed for a while, so I’m not able to draw for now. Hopefully I’ll find my way around it. Thanks for all the love recently! My sincerest apologies.

I feel like I should make separate pages for them maybe? but I also don't want to put in all that work? but I also don't want to stop doing this
