Today was not the best day, and I could not draw things as complex as I wished. Even if procrastination was another factor. I had personal issues, and the next several weeks I will have some work related issues. I hope they dont stop me from drawing, but we will see.
So. Today I drew a cat. Not as proud of it as the wolf I drew yesterday. Honestly, the main problem with what I drew was at the very beginning, having redrawn the first steps several times, and getting angry. With the marks of this remaining.
While at the middle stages I was better, by the end I entered in a hurry.
Also, today I procrastinated again. Maybe I will draw another cat tomorrow. Or maybe something different.
Science: "hey if we don't do something about climate change there's a POSSIBILITY of increasingly catastrophic weather phenomena within our lifetimes, as you know a projected worst case scenario we could mitigate, not saying it's happening on any particular schedule but the trends are alarming! Let's try and reduce those odds!" Media: "hear that??? All the scientists literally said global warming will obliterate swathes of civilization in like 10 years. New York City will be underwater just like in these dramatized movies about it" Conservatives: "ummm it's not happening exactly that way so obviously scientists were WRONG about what we falsely think they were saying and therefore climate change is not really anyone's fault and can't be averted and won't hurt us so let's do more fracking" Climate: *goes ahead and does that shit anyway but somehow that debate continues exactly fucking the same and probably will for the rest of our shittier and shittier lives*
So. I drew another wolf this day. I did one thing differently through. I tried to draw it at a large size.
Overall, I think it is a significant improvement. But even so, it still has some issues with the paws.
Today, I drew a dog. It is not the best, but it is better then the three wolves I drew up until now. The more I look, the more I get proud of the improvement...and more dissapointed I get at the bad details.. From now on, I really should try and make my drawings larger. Because it might make them look better at the details.
So. While today I procrastinated somewhat, it was not as bad as yesterday. And I actually made two drawings today. And the first turned out so bad I could not stand showing others. So here is the second one I made. It was stil made in a hurry, but it is still something I can show others.
Hello dear .. My name is Abdul Rahman Halas, married to the martyred journalist Alaa Al-Dahdouh. My journalist wife works for the Watan News Agency and we had a beautiful child named Karam. The real disaster began on Wednesday, May 31, 2024, when my wife, my child and I were surprised by a huge missile that fell on us and exploded in the place where we were, targeting the house we fled to and other neighboring houses
. At that moment, my journalist wife Alaa hugged our child Karam to protect him from the hell of the missile, but she turned into pieces and died immediately. My child Karam and I miraculously escaped certain death when the pressure of the missile threw me a long distance, which resulted in me being injured by numerous shrapnel and multiple injuries that led to severe fractures in my leg and damage to the nerves in my hand and foot and various shrapnel in different parts of my body
. My wife is a journalist covering the crimes of genocide against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip. With the intensification of the bombing and the scarcity of food and water, my wife and I struggled daily to secure food for our only child Karam, who was also suffering from severe fear because of The brutal bombing of the Gaza Strip.
Now after the disaster that befell my family, I need your generous support to overcome my ordeal and pay for my treatment and surgeries. I need several surgeries outside the Gaza Strip that cost a lot of money, and I am in dire need of your tears and support.
I am confident that after reading my sad story, you will sympathize with me and share with me and will not leave me and my child Karam alone.
Donate to me or share my campaign with your friends to donate to me
No matter how small your donation is, it means to me a chance for me and my child to be treated and to stay safe.
I am confident that after reading my sad story, you will sympathize with me and share with me and will not leave me and my child Karam alone.
So. Today I tried to draw another wolf. After procrastinating. And I drew it in a hurry. Still, I think it turned out better then the last two wolf drawings I did, but now that I look, it has the worst coloration out of the three I did, and it still has some other issues with the limbs. But still, I think I am improving.
So...here is the fourth of my drawings for October 2024. Tomorrow I hope I make something more complex.
Please, don't ignore this message—your support can save the lives of many LGBTQIA+ refugees in desperate need.
As you may know, we are LGBTQIA+ individuals who fled our homes in search of safety here in South Sudan. Unfortunately, life hasn’t improved. We face daily persecution, and it’s even worse for those of us living with HIV/AIDS without access to proper medication. We struggle without clean water or enough food to eat. When we manage to eat today, we’re left worrying about tomorrow.
Life is slipping away, moment by moment. The ongoing civil war in South Sudan has only made things more dangerous for us, and resources are extremely limited. Right now, we rely on your donations for survival. Every bit of support helps, no matter how small or large.
We are urgently seeking your help. Please donate to this link and be the lifeline we so desperately need.
So. Today I procrastinated even more, and got really in a hurry with this drawing. On one hand, I am more proud that this wolf seems to have a more...„accurate” shape, if you ignore the head, and a more accurate posture and running motion. On the other hand, the perspective seems off, and the head has its own problems, different then those of my drawing from yesterday.
We search for water, firewood, food, electricity, we spend our day searching for the basics of life and trying to survive !! 😔
I'm talking to the human in your heart,, Please, Help Save My Family To Survive 🙏💔

Every Donation, No Matter How Small, it Really Helps 😭
If you think we are joking about our lives, look away, but don't forget that we are human..🥀
So. Today I procrastinated just a little bit. Even if I also had some work do.
So anyway, here is my attempt at drawing a wolf. It is...not the best. I did redraw it several times, as can be seen, and by the end I entered a hurry, to get it today. I am not that happy now. The more I look, the worse the position and the shape looks for a wolf. On the other hand, the coloration does not look as bad as it looked to me at the beginning. But I at least did something today.

So. It is October, and I though to myself....I dont draw enough. Personal problems are a reason, but another is that fact that I keep procrastinating. So I decided...what the hell. If I want to improve, I need to draw. So I decided, each day I am drawing something different this October.
Would I actually succeed? Well, maybe if I keep a lot of them simple.
But I am still going to try.
Anyway, here is this pumpkin I drew today. The perspective is not the best, but I am at least proud of it for now.

Dairy industry is as evil as meat. No less harm for animals. Does it look natural that calf can’t drink milk so you can taste your piece of cheese?
GO VEGAN.
dear USAmericans,
VOTING WORKS!!!
French people showed up, French people voted, turnout was higher today than it has been since 1997, and we kicked the far right to 3rd place
a week ago, the far right was the biggest party in France, we were slated for a far right parliament, prime minister, and government
this week, we voted against them en masse and we won!
VOTING WORKS!
you're up next in November! it's very rare we get to say this, but this one time, take example on the French! show up and vote!
because VOTING WORKS!
me @ France right now
So. There is some chaos and discussion on what the democratic party in the USA should do. Keep Biden, or replace him with someone else(most likely Kamala Harris).
This is actually complicated, for several reasons. Sure, Kamala is younger, and in a better mental and physical shape and according to some polls she does better against Trump. But on the other hand, according to most polls, she does worse then Biden, the GOP has started their racist and sexist attacks against her, she lack the traditional incumbent advantage(incumbents tend to do better then they are polled to do), and a large part of the centrists and the goldfish swing voters have forgotten how bad things were under Trump.
But whatever the Democratic Party choses to do....please. Just fucking vote blue. If anybody from the USA sees this, vote blue, and save your country from fascism. Just...do this.
If Trump gets four more years he’ll have the chance to appoint 2-4 more justices. That’s thirty more years at least of ultra conservative far right rulings taking away our rights. Look at the damage they’ve done in just the past eight years!
Six judges invented the US monarchy. Just made the shit up.
Interesting how the public has no access to the Supreme Court. You can't see any case. Yet billionaires can bribe the justices for decades.
Follow the money to Republican oligarchs.
I am screaming into the void, but please, to any left winger from the USA who happens to see this. Dont fucking risk global stability, or the environment by voting third party. If you split your votes with Third party candidates, you know who will likely win?
Trump.
And you know what will happen if he wins? These things:
-The Palestinian genocide will continue, with even fewer chances of ending, because Biden at least tried to put a ceasefire.
-The Russian fascists will continue to murder innocent Ukrainians, and continue treatening Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
-Project 2025 will happen, and the USA will slide into actual fascism at worst.
-The Environment will be even wrost affected, and all attempts to mitigate the damage the USA does to the environment will be stopped, thus helping bring out a climate apocalypse.
-Worker rights will be ruined even worse in the USA.
-Fascists around the world will be emboldened.
-So much more shit.
And if you think you can fix this with a revolution, do you have any idea how bloody a revolution will actually be? How many people will die in a revolution, and how much a revolution increases poverty? Do you have any conception of the fact that a revolution can actually fail at succeeding and can be squashed by an army?
Do you have any idea how much less damaging and less risky just voting now is?
This AI art thing is becoming so harmful to artists, and not just in the obvious ways. I keep seeing videos of people picking apart art to prove that it’s AI. They point out mistakes that don’t make sense like incorrect folds or abstract backgrounds. While a lot of these are in fact AI, the mistakes they point out are mistakes real artists make too. Sometimes I don’t draw correct folds or anatomy. Or I make a decision that doesn’t reflect reality because it looks better.
As AI art becomes more and more indistinguishable from real art, artists aren’t allowed to make mistakes or take creative liberties that “don’t make sense” anymore. It completely discourages learning. We’re now being told that computers can make mistakes, but humans can’t. It’s not just our jobs or our art being stolen, it’s our humanity too.

Using Al in history videos makes me want to chew glass. It's lousy enough to use it- but at least source it for what it is. Don't put real pictures about an event next to generated ones and not make any distinction at all. *actually, asking youtube creators to source anything they use is wishful thinking.
