Haha, any kind of ink works for me, as long as I can draw with it! Also, I'm always looking for art communities on Lemmy, so I just joined!

Currently, I'm doing studies of mechanical joints and greebles to improve my ability to draw hard surface stuff (e.g. mechs, vehicles, inorganic constructs), and I'm also drawing a shitpost meme when I need to take a break from studying! :)

Mine is drawing. I’ve had other hobbies and have other things that I enjoy doing, but drawing is the most engaging thing for me. Your standards always outpace your ability, so there’s never a moment when you feel like you’ve accomplished everything you could’ve accomplished. There’s always something new to draw or learn about.

This is so annoying. It goes into a full screen ad as soon as you turn it on, so I babysit the remote and navigate to an app as soon as it turns on, in order to avoid ads. It also does this if you let the TV idle, which I also hate. I might just throw it away and go back to hooking up a laptop to the TV instead. I paid $70-ish bucks for this stupid thing.

Edit: I just remembered that you can hack these fire sticks, so i’ll probably try that first.

Earth is the only planet that we’re adapted to live on. Nowhere else will be as forgiving of our mistakes.

!Artshare@lemmy.world is a decent, general purpose art-centric community. People submit their personal art work, and the skill level seems to have a pretty broad range, which I like.

Others, like !traditional_art, !Digitalart, etc. seem to have a high bar when it comes to submitting art, so I think that those types of communities tend to center more on sharing/posting others’ artwork (i.e., professional/advanced artists, etc.)

There are other ones like !drawing and !learntodraw where the focus isn’t so much on quality/finished artwork, but the community seems dead.

I would like to be the god of temporary, drawn-on tattoos, the ones scribbled on hands and arms during lulls in class or in moments of boredom, whose enjoyment is measured in moments and are forgotten as soon as they’re washed away.

"The Mexican alligator lizard (Abronia graminea), also known as the green arboreal alligator lizard, is an endangered species of lizard endemic to the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca highlands of Mexico. It can be found in the states of Puebla, Veracruz, and Oaxaca. It was originally described under the genus Gerrhonotus as Gerrhonotus gramineus by Edward D. Cope in 1864.

The Mexican alligator lizard adopts an arboreal lifestyle and is commonly found inhabiting the bromeliads among mesic cloud or pine-oak forest canopies. This habitat offers a humid temperate climate with summer rains. The preferred diet of this species is a variety of insects. Colour patterns of the Mexican alligator lizard can range from bright emerald green to dark teal blue; juvenile colouration is a tan ground colour with dark crossbands.

The IUCN rates the Mexican alligator lizard as endangered. Decline of the species is mainly the result of habitat fragmentation due to fire, deforestation, and land use change for agriculture. Illegal trafficking for the pet trade has also contributed to the status of this species."

Will do! Cheers! :)

Well I appreciate you going out of your way to let me know. :T

Ah, RIP post. Think I should delete it?
