    I'm terrible at drawing, so I in fact cannot.

    But I'll take this as an opportunity to experiment.

    Drawing of a a field of flowers, with a mountain partially covered in snow in the background. A winding road goes along the mountain through a forest and passes a house. At the foot of the mountain is a large body of water with some birds flying above the shore. The sun is partially covered by the clouds and is shining its light on where the road first comes to this side of the mountain.

    I was shown this neat webapp called wigglypaint by internet janitor for making wiggly gifs.

    How does it know whether the edges should be crisp (stars) or wiggly (everything else)?

    Different tools in the program, the coloured marker always shakes around like the stars here (with the crisp diamond shape being an option for it), while the black wiggly lines all behave differently depending on the tool and how you draw the line.

    Here's something I drew last week.

    I never got around to really properly starting a game project I was making 9 years ago (gee, time flies) called The Great Adventure. In it you'd explore a tropical island! In the quit screen there was a message "the turtles bid you goodbye!"

    Now the game was just a text-based thing written in Turbo Pascal for DOS, but this illustration here is what I had in mind.

    Someone once told me “if you want to be good at art, try drawing things upside down”.

    Here is an upside down apple that I flipped 180…

    There was a subreddit that I really miss called something like "whatsthiscookiecutter", where people would post a cookie cutter they couldn't figure out. People would create all sorts of weird, random, and funny drawings.

    I got a much better response than anticipated. I love it! Ive been trying to make an effort to contribute to Lemmy instead of just lurking. I also started making some small contributions to Lemmy and Lemmy.world.

    I love it here, thanks for your participation everyone!

    Oh thats unfortunate, I think you should use one of the shit nuggets as a crayon for your masterpiece.

    Jokes aside, I hope your day turns around and you find some beauty in it

    the beauty i am finding is that the person who turned it off (by her own admission so she could see how quickly i jumped to the conclusion that it was her that turned it off. except we were all right there moving boxes so like, i am not sure she was thinking things through) she is someone else's problem for the next foreseeable future. goodbye! don't let the ass kicking machine kick you in the ass on your ass out!
