How do you do it so effortlessly?? I tried Krita software this week and I find it difficult to keep my grip lol. I ended up choosing not to post. I guess dedicated practice is the only way. You did a lot of details on both the girl and the fairy. So talented because they are visible although they are all done with one colour.

On a side note, I hope that spring helps to get through the burnout and make you feel better, or perhaps a small break from everything. Enjoy playing with your dogs and have a great weekend @veryspider!

Does Yashny has a drawing tablet and pen? It's not that different from drawing on real paper, I think? Specially with the Tilted Pencil tool :)

And yeah, I hope a break will do me a lot of good :D ! Thanks, Yashny <3333333

I loved this drawing and the video, I certainly feel like you make a video and make a gif animation is a lot of work, but hehehe you have to admit that when you finish your video is a great personal satisfaction.

You have great technique in your videos, but a break is good

That's a nice looking profile and the scene looks like it comes from a fantasy book. Her cloth has pretty embroidery, I like how you designed it.

Have a fun weekend with your doggos! :)

Wow, it's definitely not a speed drawing how were you able to show this pencil drawing in this video format? I see this one basically took a whole lot of effort but what do I know, you should continue with 3speak when you find the time. You have this thing for the tiniest of details

This is a digital drawing, the software is Krita, and it has a brush called "Tilted Pencil" and it is my favourite brush on Krita :)

I will return to 3Speak, I'm sure! It's just that I prefer drawing on paper, and sometimes I do it in between meetings or during breaks at work, so video-ing is not always possible when I do traditional arts :) But yes, 3Speak is a great interface :D I really enjoyed it very much!

Ahh good, pull back a bit and spend more energy doing your own thing, even with resigning and commenting less you still do so much for other people. The world needs more spodey posts! And yeh I get what you mean about throwing attention at brick walls, there's quite a few people that want others to come pay attention to them but don't want to reciprocate and then wonder why nobody pays them any attention.

Good to hear 3Speak is a good experience :D

_{Though I think I'm going to stick to dtube for now XD}

Now where's the problem with the profile? Looks fine to me XP Very pretty in fact so there. I really love the flower crown! And the fae wings they're so cute, can imagine them shimmering in the light as the pixie flitters about the flowers with butterflies or something.

Yes, this, 100%

Me personally, I don't want / need more attention, per se. But I think it'd be good for Steemit as a whole if people are less self-interested.... IDK~

Ah well :D

Imma just be a retiree spoder for now and not worry so much about others (for a spell) :D Breaks are gud~

Thank you for kind comments, fyn!!! I really liked the wings too :D I might draw this fae again with them wings :D :D :D

I definitely don't want people to pay attention to me, just to the things I'm making XD

Breaks are definitely good! If you do end up drawing the fae with those wings again I'd love to see it :)

Hahahahaha I mean how can you not want to take a break when spring has started and the sky is blue? 😂 Loved the drawing but what stuck with me was the mention of two dogs! Lol I have two myself and I’m basically their butler/chef/massage person 😂 They pay me in licks and I’ve yet to figure out how to turn that into crypto haha

Thanks, Sander :) Im glad you can empathize~

I was feeling guilty for the first few days about not being able to continue to leave comments at people's posts since I had been doing them so regularly but then I had to do it cuz I was really exhausted. I'm sure a break will do me a lot of good :)

If you keep pushing yourself too much the fun goes away and eventually you completely quit. I can understand that of feeling guilt or like it’s wrong to change routine Because it doesn’t feel right. It is not easy to take a break when you are used to it. Take a break before you break yourself! You deserve it :)

Such a beautiful drawing Spider. Your Spring Spirit reminds me of Nicole Kidman again. And the little fae is delightfully perky.

I'm SO happy to hear that you are going to wind down from commenting ~ My mind can't comprehend how you can curate and comment whilst still keeping some energy to do your own Spider works. There needs to be such a fine balance. And I'm sure you'll find it. Going outside and appreciating all the colour and gifts of Spring is a great way to be. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

You'll most likely be torn ~ Well I have been. I see work/comments that I want to respond to but know I need the time to create. And that needs SPECIAL time ~ Not just a few minutes inbetween posting and commenting.

Some breaks become longer than intended. But are good for our sanity and the re-entry into our creativity, from which we can emerge as more energized and skilled artists.

I need to write a post like this too Spider ~ And tell people I can't comment as much, but will always leave my symbol of love and peace and balance as my way of saying how much I appreciate them: ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

veryspider (68) · 5 years ago

Yes, you really should! I was feeling so guilty and carried on longer than I could, to be honest! Cuz I was worrying over people who may have started to expect my comments would come no matter what be it hail or rain, so I limped onwards and then I crashed!

Suddenly a day came and I just didn't want to do anything and it felt horrible~

After that, I realised I should have stopped myself earlier, dummy me . __ .

Made the post just in case those people are wondering what's happening. They can then check out the explanation :) I think this is okay. If they are curious, there is the answer in the post. And if they are not, then it's fine not to worry about not commenting on them..... Kind of?

XD;;;;;;

Breaks are great \o/ !!!!

Cuz you're right, we can't just suddenly be creative in those small spaces that we come up for air~ It's just not possible > __ < !!!!

Yep, I thought you were from Maine (cuz of those beautiful posts with gorgeous photos from posts that you titled as 'home town') but I thought maybe you were also familiar with living in LA and I didn't want to assume one way or another haha

Aaah, I can relate with feeling a bit melancholy when going back home ... I'm originally from HK and it makes me sad when I went back there last time > ___ <

I guess it wasn't related to the weather though, just.... general feeling as if time has warped a part of my childhood and things were.... different now.

twirble (66) · 5 years ago

I moved back to LA in 2016 for the third time in my life; I miss New England but I have a similar melancholy there. Not completely the weather but the long cold winters did not help my mood much.

Do you want to go back and live in HK one day? I will probably go back to Maine at some point in my life because most of my family is there and I want to be with my parents more when they are older.

veryspider (68) · 5 years ago

I dont think I would, to be honest, it's very difficult to feel like I can uproot more and more. Culturally, and friends-wise, and job-wise, etc.

HK is such a concrete jungle, and I have gotten to appreciate living in a less metropolitan place in Melbourne. I used to think apartment living was the best thing ever, but now I have a backyard and I dont think I can go back living in a shoebox again XD

The profile looks right to me. The eyelash of the hidden side pops out in a cool way, makin' it look deep... 3D-ish. And the girl's expression is really nice, her mouth and chin are pretty.

I only dislike super cold winters. Like below 5ºC, or maybe around 0ºC. In the past two winters there were freezing temperatures with freezing high-speed winds. Was awful. A papaya tree in the garden died. Most houses suffered broken water pipes. :( The houses here are not built for that kind of weather. Inside the house it felt like a refrigerator, it's usually colder indoors than outside. It's weird cuz a winter prior to those, it was a warm one. I remember wearing shorts and drinking a delicious cold beer on christmas. So how were the mooncakes? How many did a spider munch?
