if you dont mind me asking, what procreate brushes do you use?

answered [here] & since i haven't changed my brushes since then i'll just capy and paste it:

i do change my brushes a lot from piece to piece so i’ll try to do a quick like #mostused on here. if you want to know what i use for a piece in particular hmu i can prolly try to reverse-engineer/rember.

SKETCHING: almost exclusively use default Sketching -> Narinder pencil brush. sometimes Sketching -> HB pencil.

LINING: depending on the #vibes i’m going for, i have my toolbox of Organic -> Hemp [Procreate defaults] (used this one for my latest Herb Brides drawing] Inking -> Dry Ink [Procreate defaults] Drawing -> Eaglehawk [Procreate defaults] Drawing -> Gloaming Jingsketch Basis -> Think Ink [free/pay what you want] Dawner’s Brush Pack Vol. 1 -> Oil on Paper [free/pay what you want] but tinkered with to be thicker Dawner’s Brush Pack Vol. 1 -> Chalk, But You Line With It [free/pay what you want]

RENDERING/PAINTING: Jingsketch Basis -> Flat Square (& a Lot of color-picking) Dawner’s Brush Pack Vol. 1 -> Oil on Paper Dawner’s Brush Pack Vol. 1 -> Dirty Oil sometimes when i feel silly i’ll slap flat colors & then render with Sketching -> Narinder pencil (wristache-inducing)

Here are some more links (for more sources) that talk about the EU/privacy issue:

CNBC links to The Verge's interview with Instagram's CEO as a source, which has more broad information about Threads if you're interested:

This article also references Meta/Facebook's recent issues in the EU, and their 1.2+ billion fine:

I see so many people starting to use Threads as a way to escape Twitter and yes, it's owned by Facebook's CEO and giving Facebook the monopoly of social media is bad but I think we should also talk about the fact that, you know, Threads isn't avalibe in the EU for privacy reasons????? That should be concerning to EVERYONE

for me internet friendships are “we don’t talk all the time but I see you’re online and it makes me happy” and I really hope it’s like that for everyone

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

hello! sorry if this is annoying, you must've been asked this a thousand times already, but i was wondering what brushes you tend to use for your art? particularly for painting/rendering, it's a very beautiful and eye-catching style :) thank you!

you're not annoying babes i do change my brushes a lot from piece to piece so i'll try to do a quick like #mostused on here. if you want to know what i use for a piece in particular hmu i can prolly try to reverse-engineer/rember. i'm doing all of that on Procreate btw

I took Grim in to for a solensia shot, because she’s been a bit of a slug this year…….and it had zero effect! so good news, she doesn’t have arthritis. bad news, she is just a slug.
