I was thinking “cityscape”, so I got some references of Amsterdam cityscapes, basically houses alongside canals. It turned out drawing a single house was already a big thing. I had to leave out so much details. I also forgot to add a human analog for scale, though the door is perhaps good enough.

It seems lots of Youtube content creators end their careers as a Youtuber, because they’re spread too thin, creating videos has become a side-hussle and the main job seems to be holding balls in the air. If any of those “balls” drop, your career is over.
What did you expect if Google is your “boss”?

For some reason, I can make art on the RPi using an old Amiga LowRes format. I suppose it’s the limitations that stimulate my creativity, while with the full-blown iPad I’m still struggling because of the many options. Meaning, I have to think much harder before drawing on the RPi.

If note-taking is transcribing someone else’s words, and note-making is transcribing your own words, isn’t the fact that you have two hemispheres to your brain imply that note-making is actually note-taking the words from the other side of you? Also, where does the internal conversation come from?

When my sister visited my house a while ago, she commented that my walls were, well, rather barren. She expected at least some of my art to hang there. Since most of my art nowadays is pixel art, maybe I should consider it, preferably something that doesn’t draw power, like beads on a board?

Currently reading: A Theory of Fun for Game Design by Raph Koster ๐
As a wannabe retro-game developer, I should at least have some idea what it’s all about. I expect great things to come from it, great thingsโฆ

Doing all this drawing by mouse, cramping up my wrist, made me realize how dependent I am on an iPad with stylus. I realize a regular iPad is inadequate for my needs. Then a 256 GB M1 iPad Air is only โฌ100 less than a 128 GB M1 iPad Pro. Only the Pro has Promotionโธบa must for artists.

Work in progress. I’m working with a mouse in Multipaint on my RPi.
What is he so happy about? I know, and you may too, once I’m done pushing pixels and uploaded it to my blog.

A “little” thing as a broken iPad won’t stop me from making art. I made this when the iPad was almost gone.
And the other piece I made with a PETSCII editor on my RPi, based on a piece I did earlier this month.
Not having a backup for my Raspberry Pi makes me a bit nervous, as it should

And my iPad gave up the ghost for good, meaning it’s in a continuous reboot cycle. I suspect the battery is no longer able to run the OS. I guess I’ll have to buy a new one next week, since I don’t want to replace the battery. The device no longer suited my needs anyway.

Analyzing @hutaffe’s (free) avatar from Make A pirate was a bit convoluted on my partโฆ
Anyway, 100 by 100 pixel art, scaled up 8 times, with 53 unique colors, in isometric perspective, so typical for 2D games nowadays.
There’s a story here, stereotypical even, though better than I can ATM. ๐ก๐พ

This was taxing my iPad. Youtube in Safari with adblocker as picture in picture on top of a drawing app. The strokes had to be placed tactically to allow for overall sluggishness. Also, very distractive drawing and watching a video.
