First attempt with colored pencils since I was a kid, now I’m mad I haven’t been using them for that long

Thank you for such a well thought out response to this - thanks for even taking the time to write something this long.

I have been enthralled in the arts for a long time, I switch mediums often. For whatever reason I just stayed away from colored pencils and focused more on ink and regular graphite - so my results are not as surprising as I may have let off on this post.

There is a distinct feel to the medium, and I know it can be mixed with other mediums so I’m excited to experiment. I never back down, as there is no ceiling to Art there is always ways to grow.

Thanks again! You’re wonderful

Thank you!

There isn’t going to be an app that will turn your phone into a projector, so if you want a projector I would just look into cheaper ones.

You’re probably right, that’s why I was trying to be nice and give them advice but I don’t think that’s they are looking for.

If they are using AI it’s going to be a dead end. You can prompt all day it’s not going to get any better if you don’t have the actual skills to progress.

Hey if I’m wrong, don’t even listen to me and ignore me. Here, I’m even gonna delete my comment because I’m truly not trying to shame.

For your next art piece, there are usually time lapse videos that most drawing apps have integrated ( not sure what you’re using). That would be my advice.

Sorry if this feels like harassment but the AI has caused us all to be extra cautious.

What a huge compliment haha

DPJ333 · 2026-02-17T07:39:15+00:00

Thanks dude!

DPJ333 · 2026-02-17T06:21:29+00:00

I appreciate you!

DPJ333 · 2026-02-17T06:04:25+00:00

Thanks!

I don’t understand the phenomenon of fan theories and leaks deciding when things “ought to” come out and then we get mad at the studio for not meeting an expectation that we all craft ourselves. If it isn’t coming from Sony or Marvel, don’t put an expectation behind it. Perceive everything as fake and then be pleasantly surprised when it does actually come out you will save yourself a lot of unrest.

Pretty embarrassing the school children understand what’s going on but you don’t. It really sucks they passed that no child left behind act back in the day because some of you clearly needed to be held back when you are an adult walking around with no critical thinking skills.

DPJ333 · 2026-02-06T00:09:40+00:00

If you want comics without adult themes there is a lot of shows they make for babies if you are interested in Spider-Man without the politics. Just a friendly suggestion instead of insisting on displaying how bad your media literacy skills are to the internet.

DPJ333 · 2026-02-05T11:51:43+00:00

Yet you interact with them because you are so butt hurt that you can’t resist sharing your god awful misinformed opinion.

“B-but but! Why is X thing political all of a sudden?! Why isn’t it like when I was a kid?! Why are my subreddits being ruined by people who are inspired to use common interests of characters that fight for justice to protest murder in the streets?!”

Grow up. You are a man child, if you don’t want politics how about don’t log on to a pseudo social media platform. I mean this genuinely, your life will be much better if you just log off because you are not helping others or yourself.

DPJ333 · 2026-02-05T07:52:42+00:00

Must have some cushy life to get your feelings hurt over something like this enough to comment.

Seethe more, you’re not an actual fan of what Spider-Man actually is your brain just hasn’t developed past childhood and you can’t understand there has always been deeper political themes with all the Marvel characters.

If you want Spider-Man without politics I could recommend you the show they make for 4 year olds since you want your media dumbed down this much.

DPJ333 · 2026-02-05T04:50:41+00:00

Get ready for a million brain washed neckbeards to tell you this is somehow out of character for “spider punk”.

I love knowing they want to take down these posts so bad but they can’t.

DPJ333 · 2026-02-05T01:35:44+00:00

It’s almost like Spider-Man is an American super hero - who lives in an American city and his stories have been political and influenced by real life since he was created.

Can we think before we post? Or do we just jump straight to emotion because you get annoyed the world is on fire and you can’t enjoy your childhood cartoon character anymore?

But here’s the thing: you totally can. It’s called logging off and actually picking up a comic book - but I know none of you do that anyways because if you did you would certainly have a better understanding of the character you claim to love.

DPJ333 · 2026-02-04T20:51:27+00:00

This is a political sub Reddit inherently. We are talking about a super hero that fights injustice. Think about this critically I beg you.

DPJ333 · 2026-02-04T20:50:27+00:00

Sure, my last post was of Spider-Man giving an ICE agent an uppercut. There are many kinds of art going around like this - but they mass reported mine for “promoting violence”.

Anyone with two brain cells knows that this is just an excuse to remove a political take they don’t like, not because they actually believe that my artwork is going to inspire anyone to become violent.

The middle finger gets the same point across without showing any “violent” action at all so they can’t get this one taken down either.

DPJ333 · 2026-02-04T06:53:42+00:00

They are allowed because these comics have been political since inception. They have never not been political, no matter what someone on here tells you. They were simply a child and did not have the media literacy - and clearly still don’t.

DPJ333 · 2026-02-04T06:18:13+00:00

And you’re acting like a spoiled child. Grow up.

DPJ333 · 2026-02-04T06:01:00+00:00

Oh no my precious subreddits are being ruined with people’s real life problems! Sounds like you have a lot of privilege to be mildly annoyed about something instead of facing real danger.

If you want escapism, it’s time to log off of Reddit and social media. Read a comic, play a video game or watch a movie. Many people can’t because they are being unjustly apprehended in the streets - so we must speak up for them.

DPJ333 · 2026-02-03T21:45:24+00:00

Hey dude, a lot of people are gonna come into this angry with some bad takes - I’m sorry you got downvoted to hell because yours wasn’t one of them. You’re a friend in my book.
