What's everyone using to draw? I shouldn't be suprised that Lemmy users are overwhelming choosing digital art. Personally, I used the Sketchbook app with a pressure sensitive stylus.

I used the fossify paint app on my phone.

I dont really know how to draw beautiful pictures, or pianos for that matter

Someone once told me “if you want to be good at art, try drawing things upside down”.

Here is an upside down apple that I flipped 180…

Here's one from a couple days ago.

Here's something I drew last week.

I never got around to really properly starting a game project I was making 9 years ago (gee, time flies) called The Great Adventure. In it you'd explore a tropical island! In the quit screen there was a message "the turtles bid you goodbye!"

Now the game was just a text-based thing written in Turbo Pascal for DOS, but this illustration here is what I had in mind.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 12 points 6 hours ago

Wow, I haven't thought about Turbo Pascal or Borland in such a long time! Thanks for triggering some happy memories. I bid the turtle goodbye back!

[–] adhd_traco@piefed.social 10 points 6 hours ago

That sounds like a really cute game. Love the turtle too!

This comment section has so much amazing drawings, man.

[–] BitsAndBites@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago

I got a much better response than anticipated. I love it! Ive been trying to make an effort to contribute to Lemmy instead of just lurking. I also started making some small contributions to Lemmy and Lemmy.world.

I love it here, thanks for your participation everyone!
