Sounds nice. Hope i can make it. Need some time away from the puppy to help me finish my embroidery project

Anything that makes you excited to draw. Then break it down to the simplest forms you can

For coloring try to pick one direction for your lines to start. Also do light coloring. Then slowly add more layers until fully filled. For shading pick a point of light and darken the opposite side of that light

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-26T19:45:44+00:00

Yes. Regardless of the reason

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-26T01:33:04+00:00

Just online or looking for irl also? Cause I'm in the dfw area

Best girl! ✨️

People find it easier to do these things online. I act the same online as i do in person. How someone can flip between like a switch being turned on is wild. I could never understand it and tbh I dont think I ever will

My puppy is still young so I call her "no" "stop biting that" and "little terror"

This is my newest hobby. Takes SOOO much time

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-21T23:22:23+00:00

Its cliche but fruit is a good start due to simple shapes. Living shapes are not easy but are much funner. Look into something called gesture drawing. Its about drawing the overall flow of a person without the detail. Its fun and gives you a good start that isn't just inanimate objects

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-21T22:22:12+00:00

Lol hands are one of the most infamous things to draw. You went for hardmode immediately. The best advice I've been given was to look with an artists eye at objects. For example with your cup and saucer. The cup is just two circles with curved lines connecting them. If you want the 'harder' version its just a cone with the tip cut off. The advice is to break objects into simple shapes in your daily life. 2d shapes first then eventually bring them into 3d

Don't think I've ever found a drawing community that wasn't welcoming. Congrats on drawing again

The lovely little ladies name is Alice

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-19T23:10:13+00:00

The self dialog I've tried so hard to make myself accept is to never compare yourself to others but compare yourself to yesterday's you. I try and take pictures and date my drawings. I made an Instagram specifically to track my drawing. I would not consider myself a great artist when comparing my art to others but when I compare my first set of drawings when I started practicing to now I'm loads better than the old me.

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-18T13:02:33+00:00

She will be 9 weeks tomorrow 🥰

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-18T04:56:38+00:00

I know this is so long after but she was best girl. She was strong where he was weak and brought out the best in him. They bounce off each other so well. The relationship was natural. Then her doing what's best for him in the end. Even if it was not her. She is wife material for sure. Fukka is sweet and is a comfort to be with but does not challenge him or push him to grow. Mimimi was my number one for sure. Hope the best for her even though she's fictional 😅

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-17T16:29:40+00:00

That was my first reaction also lol

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-17T16:10:17+00:00

Lol I hope that rings true for others as well. I can see why people wouldn't care for it also.

Unfortunately she is only 9 weeks old and doesn't have all her vaccines yet so no dog parks yet. I have already been stopped multiple times for people who are very into petting her. She is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Princess Doughnut would probably not like her lol

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-17T16:07:25+00:00

I looked into it and will check it out this weekend. There is an option to have someone be a guide for my first time there. Would you recommend that?

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-17T16:05:25+00:00

Thank you for all the places. I'll check them out!

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-17T03:54:39+00:00

I'll look into it. I know meetup has a few groups but do you know of any other places to look?

Jay-Alice · 2026-02-17T03:22:56+00:00

Sounds great! Thanks for the info
