I tried using crayons again for some reason

2024/12/30 Edited to

... Read moreCrayons are often viewed as a childhood medium, but they can offer unique opportunities for artists of all ages. Many artists use crayons in unexpected ways, integrating them into mixed media projects or combining them with traditional painting techniques. The waxy texture of crayons allows for smooth application and vibrant colors, making them versatile tools for experimentation. In recent years, adult coloring books have gained popularity, encouraging people to engage with crayons like never before. These books provide a sense of relaxation and can improve focus and mindfulness. Additionally, various online communities are dedicated to exploring crayon art, showcasing techniques like layering, shading, and oiling crayons to achieve different effects. If you're looking to try out crayons again, consider mixing them with materials like watercolor or markers, or incorporating them into your digital artwork by scanning your crayon pieces and manipulating them in graphic software. Don't hesitate to share your creations or join workshops that focus on crayon art to connect with fellow enthusiasts and expand your skills.

I’m never going back to crayons or colored pencils
I used to love coloring but it started to annoy me with how chunks would go on the paper with crayons and that colored pencils just don’t seem as pigmented anymore. I kept seeing people on tiktok use the alcohol markers and coloring really nicely with them and I eventually gave in and bought them

The title image features the bold white text "Why you DON'T Need AI" with a black outline, superimposed over a vibrant green and white variegated potted plant.
A text-based image on a pink striped background explains that AI is harmful to the environment, low-income communities, and intellectual thought, and steals from artists. It suggests seeking information from universities and the UN.
The word "Art:" is displayed over a wall adorned with multiple framed classical paintings. The text advises learning art skills or commissioning artists instead of using AI to generate art.
Stop using AI‼️
AI is something that we’ve lived without for so long. Do we really need to rely on it now? John Nosta from Psychology Today writes that the use of generative AI leads to the lack of “engaging deeply with the ideas generated”, causing simple acceptance of what we are told by the AI bot, which, o
