Visible Mending

UUUUUUUUUUUUUURGH

What are hands even

So I have thrown myself into a huge project, which is to make a plaid for my mother

This is the finished plaid from the creator and all the squares, half squares and quarter squares I have to do.

I've done all that so far, which corresponds to the four corners, all the big borders, half of the small borders and one baby square.

I'm doing it using yarn my mother wanted, which is a mix of cotton and merinos wool. There's 10 colours total but I'm not using the same as what is shown in the pattern.

For this to work btw, you need to have the eraser tool selected.

Better yet, in order to avoid problems such as that:

Use the eraser all the time to have that:

some images i made for my paper titled “How to create artwork in Microsoft Paint with greater skill than that of your 12-year-old self”

so I did a screenshot redraw with my fucking mouse

I think I should like,,, start from scratch and just do some lil tracing in order to get used to using a mouse and then I can start just redrawing stuff and maybe after finally doing stuff by myself?

Might be the best way for me not to hate my art completely and slowly getting a style without worrying and hating myself too much

give yourself the gift of reading your own fic. it was literally written just for you.

Weekly art tip: Drawing folds! 

Hope you guys enjoy it  I’ve put a lot work to make this ^^

I tried to make it as simple as possible :)

This Google Drive AI scraping bullshit actually makes me want to cry. My entire life is packed into Google Drive. All of my writing over the years, all of my academic documents, everything.

I’m just so overwhelmed with all the shit I’m going to have to move. I’m lucky to have Scrivener, but online data storage has been super important as I’ve had so many shitty computers, and the only reason I haven’t lost work is because Google Drive has been my backup storage unit.

My partner has recommended gitlab to move my files to - it seems useful, and I can try and explain more about what it is and how it works when I get more familiar with it. I’m unsure if it’s a text editor, or can work that way. He was explaining something about the version history that I don’t quite understand right now but might later. I’m just super overwhelmed and frustrated that this is the dystopia we live in right now.

Not 100% sure I'm reading this right but,

Understanding how the new account fee may apply to you

Redbubble Blog

We’re introducing new artist account tiers. Here’s why this will make Redbubble a better marketplace, and how the changes will apply to you.

The tiers are intended to encourage actions that are positive for the marketplace and recognise and reward artists who invest time creating and promoting unique products.

Hum... Great, so if you wanted to have a redbubble on the side to make some money then you're basically not welcome???

Redbubble Blog

How accounts are reviewed and classified

And seriously I am in tears at that like wow. Basically, if you make enough money for Redbubble, the fee is removed. Basic tiers have to pay a fee, but premium and pro don't.

There's also the "opportunity to create licensed fan art" that bugs me because, there already was a list of things you could make fan art of depending on the list they have, but now you can't unless you have a premium or pro account? While (from what I've seen at least) most small artists make fan art and sell it because they know that there is a fanbase for it and that it will sell.

I do understand the copyright problem they face, sure. But the rest still is... not good.

Over the past few years the amount of new accounts and content has increased significantly on our marketplace. This has resulted in increased costs as we’ve needed greater investment in resources to operate the marketplace and support our artist community and your customers.

So yeah, increased costs that they will make the small artists pay for and subsequently make people think twice before coming on the plateform, or just leave it.

having adhd and being a creator is like being on a timer. oh sorry you have this art idea? well you have approximately 12 hours to start it and 6 hours to finish the task or else you will lose interest and inevitably move on. oh you have an idea for a one-shot? well you’d better finish it in a day unless you want to banish it to your wips forever. ding dong bitch
