I finished this yesterday as a present for a friend who recently took in a one-legged starling, and likes bunnies. Quite proud of it. Click to enlarge, apparently.

Omigosh, that is gorgeous! I'm gonna look into this Krita thing. I assume you use a stylus (or whatever it's called) instead of a mouse? |

This just hits the right amount of cute for me. I do like the shading, as it does make things pp out, and there are the right number of blues to make it just pop out in a largely white area. It really helps you focus on the animals. |

Been messing around with focus and framing a little lately, and this shot from my morning walk turned out kinda artsy  Also a random mushroom  |

Hope this is considered to be artistic enough. Here's stuff I made in my carpentry course so far.    God, I love trade school. It's just so human-scale, useful, relevant, gratifying, grounded and the complete opposite of the nightmare that is higher education. I should get around to write my rant about that at some point. |

As a complete layperson, these look beautiful! How long have you been enrolled in this course?
I never did well at life skills in school, but now that I'm in my twenties, I find myself increasingly drawn to trying out some sort of craft - carpentry or pottery. I'm happy that you found something that you really enjoy.

I can't say I learned any life skill in school before this lol. I don't know how it is in your part of the world, but we don't learn anything like cooking or making a budget or whatever. I've been at it for about 40 days now? All three pictures were stuff we made in the 3 weeks of our "how to use tools" module. I'm not particularly good with my hands and there was a lot of precision work in that module. I was one of the students that struggled more with this woodworking part of our learning, but it went well despite it all. I would strongly encourage you to go out and learn a craft, even as a hobby. There's a satisfaction in doing something with your hands that you'll never get from doing work behind a desk. It's funny, because our teacher today told us exactly that. He used to work in IT, like me, but as a project manager and said there's no comparaison. The pleasure he got from creating something from wood outweighed the feeling he got from finishing 6-figure projects and a thank you letter from the client. Going through this process, I'm realizing many things about myself and also about how people are supposed to be. Working with tools, with our hands, is part of our human nature. I'm seeing it now. You're being called to it at the moment. There's a part of you that knows, superficially and on a deeper level, that whatever you're doing as a desk jockey isn't fulfilling. Answer the call. |

Beautiful work! I absolutely consider woodworking a form of art, for sure. I would love to try my hand at it. My other half used to do woodworking and wants to get back into it, so I'm hoping to learn what he knows once we get the room & the tools for it.  |
