I liked to practice drawing with pencil and Chinese ink.
My first disillusionment with art was when I discovered that many had lied when saying that the great artists drew freehand. They actually copied, even since the middle ages...
In recent years I abandoned the idea of continuing making sketches due to the emergence of generative AIs (yeah, I suck, but I hate all the uncertainty that comes with AIs and I already sucked in regular graphic design anyway)
YOUR REDDIT GOLD, SIR!
lol
'sup cutie!
