I started another six week session of figure drawing. It’s kind of a pain to facilitate, but at least I get to draw for free. My mom asked if I planned to enter any shows this year, but it’s so expensive to enter and I don’t have much new finished work anyhow.

I've decided that I can never juggle more than one drawing at once and also I need to keep actively working on any picture I start. Anytime I stop working on a drawing all my motivation drains away and it becomes so much harder to actually complete it.

Same. I need to develop better habits. I hope to make several starts, that are literally just starts, for me to choose from and work into various degrees of "finished."

I take the snake in the second to be a reference to the crushing of the serpent's head in Genesis 3--Trump is fulfillment of a messianic prophecy for that kook. Apparently Trump is better than Jesus because his heel is not bruised.

I entered a call for art today. I hate that it costs up to $40 to enter these things. On one hand I understand a barrier for entry, on the other it's just kinda poo poo. I generally only enter one or two a year because it feels like lighting money on fire.

Galleries or orgs have juried art shows. To apply to enter it costs anywhere between 25-$40. Obviously most people who apply are not invited.

wait so you pay them to even consider you to contribute to their business??????

Yeah, it's common practice for a juried show with cash prizes. It's not the same thing as a vanity gallery, which I refuse to do.

Procreate updated last night to include a liquify tool and snap to grids.

I made it through the initial jury process to the State Fair fine art show here, and now I found out I didn't make it in. Again! This is like the 5th juried show in a row I haven't made it into and it is so disheartening. Especially since I got my hopes up making it through the first round.

Guess I should have drawn porn instead.

Anyone have any good instagram follows for art? For my main media which is colored pencil, it is 99% realistically drawn and 75% animal portraits. I would like some fresh, interesting things to look at and be inspired (or shamed) by.

I haven't made it into a juried show in three years. :smith:

They're a vanity model. I get messages from their "curators" on IG too. If you google 1340art their model is to reel you into paying to enter their magazine contests.
