Attention! At The Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

feeling like I’m left out of the cool adhd kids club because I take ritalin instead of adderall or vyvanse

thinking about the plant machete robot again because holy hell that’s a gender

ah shit I keep losing track of lower decks bc I forget to keep up with it

lmao since the last graphics card driver update my desktop keeps bluescreening. hopefully this subsequent update will fix that because wtf

ah dang on the other hand if I make these too involved then I’ll get tired of doing them faster so maybe not haha

I should make some halloween decorations maybe. I have construction paper I think

ooo I could put something on my wall so it shows up in video calls

also hmm I should try some shading on my next piece. maybe use a thinner pen to crosshatch, or possibly a grey mildliner? so far I’ve just been using a black felt tip pen and a brush tip marker

part of my problem is that I’ve had pieces that I like the look of and then I add shading and they look “ruined”

I enjoy using ballpoint bc it allows for more subtlety with shading but it also allows me to be flaky with my lines because it’s so faint so I’m trying to do without it

my art definitely suffers a lot when I don’t do a sketch of some sort underneath it first but I admire people who are able to just Draw A Thing with pen right away and just commit to lines etc so I’m trying to work on doing that

but lol line control whom

continuing with robots for now; day 2 - scurry

it’s best to have good posture and lighting for ink drawing and I have neither

oh shit I should get to work on the drawing of the day
