What Happens When I Remove All the Colors? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Am I less of an artist if I stop using colors and only focus on value for a while?Well, that’s what I’ve done, at least. I stopped using colors digitally, not traditionally. Unless I’m using graphite haha. 🤣Colors and light just mess with my brain sometimes. I want to make more moody art and tell a story with it, but somehow I can’t get there. It just looks off. It doesn’t matter what blend layer modes I use. I just can’t seem to reach the look I want.So I thought, why not just work in greyscale

But no one ever encouraged me to keep going. Not my parents, not school, no one.Then I started getting “sicker,” kind of, and around 2017 I started thinking that maybe I should start drawing as a kind of therapy for myself. Just to feel a little better.Before that, I had found mountain biking. That was
So I Started Giving My Photos Away for Free (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A while back, I got this idea that I could take photos of nature and sell them as reference packs. I’ve seen others do that, although they travel to much more beautiful places compared to where I live. I live in the most boring area ever, okay?But it didn’t go well because I never sold anything. Sure, I suck at marketing. I just hate sounding like a broken record: “Oh hey, I sell reference packs, go and check them out!”. I just want to upload them, say it once, and hope everyone sees it so I don
