It’s been ages! How have you all been doing? ❤

It’s been ages! How have you all been doing? ❤️

Here is one of many WIP digital paintings I’m working on. Lately I’ve had absolutely no motivation nor energy to do anything. I’m exhausted and have no time for things I want to do, but I’m trying my best to turn it around and find some more relaxed schedule.

It’s also been energy consuming to sustain all the 3-4 posts per week with having no energy to produce any content whatsoever. So… I turned it into a partial sabbatical 😅 So many new features here…

What are you all painting and creating? Let me know down below so I can catch up and have a look! ❤️

I’m struggling so hard last weeks mainly mentally. Therefore, I wasn’t really even posting much as trying to satisfy the algorithm on the top of it took a toll as well. I hardly do any art as there is no energy left but I found this sketch which I brought to some presentable stage. It was fun to play with it.

I hope you all are doing well ❤️

This is one of my favorite digital paintings this year so far ❤️➡️

I have not disappeared. Just the life became suddenly busy and I really lost the motivation and strength to keep chasing the algorithm. But I’m trying to get back to the habit and creating again. I’m still quite uninspired and entirely exhausted but maybe the creative juice will give me the exact power I need ❤️

How have you been? What are you painting? What are your plans? I missed talking to you all! ❤️

3333 followers! ❤️ Finally I reached this awes

3333 followers! ❤️ Finally I reached this awesome number! Thanks everyone for your support and sticking around! It’s been such an honor to make new friends amongst you all ❤️

I always wanted to make my own “Draw this in your style” challenge once I reach this milestone and here I finally am 😁 I would really love to see this happy coffee and how you approach your paintings or drawings or any other techniques.

Sooo… have fun! Add props around this character if you wish, create unique composition, imagination has no limits! Keep it simple if that’s what you like or be creative ❤️ I will share all of your creations and make a little collection from them. I might even send a random prints out to make someone happy but it’s not a competition. Everyone deserves equal recognition 😊

▪️ Refrain from using AI! Be true to yourself and create real art!

▪️There is no deadline. I’m not really good with them and I don’t want to push on anyone with it to stress anyone out.

▪️Include the original painting together with your creation.

▪️Tag me in your art so I don’t miss it and use the #inartdtiys hashtag so others can see it as well.

▪️ Have fun and be creative!!!! ❤️

Thanks for being here in the hardest times but also the more pleasant ones. Keep making art and can’t wait to see what you all create ❤️

I really needed to reset my mind somehow. It was a first warm day in weeks so I ended up making a couple scribbles.

Each of them took me only a few minutes. My goal was not to be perfect but to capture the main shape and filter the chaos. 😊

It was good to finally spend some time in the fresh air ❤️

What are you drawing today?

What a time that some among us need to even prove that they actually made their art (especially in those working digitally). But I will never quit doing what I love. Art keeps me sane and calm. ❤️

What are you working on today? ❤️

This digital painting was my one point perspective practices. It was so much fun to work on it and even more to return to this piece! I have shown spoilers of this painting already a few times and now it’s perfect time for me to finally share it! 🤩

Originally, I created this one already about a year ago but never posted it here. Somehow, giving it time and re-visiting it after longer time was a great move! It feels way more finished now than it did before 😊

What are you creating this week? 😊

Almost done! ❤️ ➡️
This is one of those older paintings I created last year. I revisited it and gave it some more love. I’m almost done with these tweaks and will share more soon 😊

I have just joined Cara too. I’m not quitting this place yet as I don’t want to lose the connections and friendships I created here but I’m really getting exhausted and burned out of trying to sustain 3-4 posts/reels per week with having no ideas or content to share every time as I can’t really create art on this pace to satisfy some sh💩tty algorithm. All this just to feed it to the Meta AI.

I just want to create my silly art and make people smile with it. I want to share it whenever I can and not because algorithm says I have to do that otherwise I lose my reach and followers. I joined this platform about 8.5 years ago to share my art, find like minded people, build a small community and grow as an artist. But it’s becoming hard.

Creating reels is time consuming. Trying to reach out to people and connect even more - all that at the cost of getting blocked for “spamming” and what not. I thought that social media was about being social, reaching out to each other, connecting with each other and not about chasing the numbers.

Last but not least I’m absolutely disgusted about Meta stepping down to feeding their AI models with OUR art and OUR images. Not only the art but all the personal family photos including little children who can’t even object, all the privacy concerns. Thank god for being EU based and having all the GDPR law but will Meta really respect that? Or have they already scraped what they wanted anyways?

And of course the biggest concerns - the copyright. Use of our images to train the AI models where the companies will profit on our creations and hard work with a couple clicks. I hoped we would be spared of this here but of course I was too naive.

I’m generally trying to stay from this whole drama. I’m also not someone who would easily complain and I always try to adapt to the situation but I had enough. I’m angry and disgusted.

I’m sorry for the long post. Feel free to join me and follow me on Cara. Let’s connect! You can find the link in my bio or use the QR code in the second slide ❤️

2024 vs 2023 😁
Recently I revisited this digital painting and did some touch ups. Or well… I have it some 2024 overhaul 😁 it’s fun compared to the older painting and see how much did I learn over the year. I think I will revisit it next year again 😊

Which one do you prefer? 🤔

What are you currently working on? 😊➡️
This is an older digital painting in the beginning stage that I created last year. It is finished a this point; however I started touching it up to make it feel even more finished 😊

Are you curious about the final result? 😁 I’ll share more soon about how this one even started!

👀 Do you also constantly feel like you have no art at all? That you didn’t create enough? Just try to go through your digital art library that you collected over years or go through your sketchbooks!

I just realized how much I have on my iPad just now that I’m trying to transfer all my library to the new one. Crazy! 👀 There are also stacks of multiple pieces in!

How much art do you have now that you looked? 😁

Sometimes I wish I could really paint this fast 😅 How about you? 😁
This digital painting is definitely one of my favorite ones from this year. It was so much fun to work on it ❤️

Should I revisit some of these? 🤔
I’ve participated in the #inktober multiple times. It’s really intense but every time I’m left with a few ideas and scribbles. 👀
Every now and then I look at those drawings/sketches and I feel like I want to redraw some of them. Add the current skills etc. 😊

What do you think? 😁

Which digital painting would you like to see the full version of? 😁👀

I have a couple older works on my iPad that I haven’t published yet. Some I started poking again just to bring to the 2024 standard. One is from my perspective course which is still one of my favorite pieces and one was my biggest painting project yet from last summer.

Are you curious? Let me know which one are you curious about 😁😁

Just a digital painting of happy pebble catching the sun! ☀️
It was so much fun. You can make every object cute looking if you slap a happy face on it 🤣

This painting took me only 2.5 hours. I like when I can take a break and finish a couple smaller paintings within really short time. It feels even more rewarding after creating something bigger 😊

What are you painting today? 😁
