If there is, I’m not aware of it other than brush lettering.
After I got this new laptop, I added about 200 new font faces to the already fairly massive collection, because some of my faves from before were not originally included. I do like script-style fonts, and it is almost impossible to tell how one will look on a panel until I actually try it out. Legibility is of course a priority! Heh, but I do not want to be using Times New Roman either LOL. There is one called Brush Script MT, but it is not as nice as your lettering :)

I like your Hallelujah! :)


I'm glad you like it. I was gonna make a new video every week, but stopped at two for some reason. Maybe should make more some time.

Picasso

I used this painting as inspiration for the guitarist on the couch in my first video, that I posted.


Banksy

I love Banksy, think he is ahead of his time.

You are right, I especially like the lake scene with James 4 on it. I have to say,
well done! It's not to busy, it's playful, and the colors are complimentary.
Funny you should like that one best, because I am unhappy with how much I had to space out the text to work around the birds. I suppose I could simply get rid of the flying birds, re-position the text, and then possibly add other flying birds elsewhere in the scene... Also, major UGH, my new laptop is acting up to the point I cannot use it any more, and apparently this is a common problem many others have had (the touchpad and keyboard freezing) with the same brand (Dell) which I have never used before... Sometimes I cannot even sign back in to my device after doing a hard reset, and even when I can, a hard reset does not even always fix the problem, and I have to keep repeating the hard reset. Then Windows doesn't load properly = do another hard reset. The warranty is already expired because my daughter had originally given it to her dad the Christmas before; he never used it before passing away last year.

I have four laptops here now and this one I am on right now is the only one that does not have issues, although I originally replaced it because the wifi's ability to connect to the internet was unreliable. Only problem with this device I am on now is I do not have Photoshop on it. Also, each device displays the panels differently. On this machine everything looks very cold/blue. Especially my new work; older work on my new laptop looked very washed out and excessively warm/yellow. I do realize that ambient light affects how things are perceived, but this goes well beyond that...

Hi
I was a computer tech support guy. I might be able to help you fix some thing. I like your Purple art, very peaceful and it is every where I look, which makes things feel peaceful almost every where. Just need some info to figure it out so I can tell you how to fix it. Just not good with Apple computer, even when I worked there.

Every one on this post has great stuff. thanks

Thanks! I am now using a mouse with this new laptop, which seems to be a step backwards technologically speaking, but it works and is therefore better than a touchpad that does not. It is more difficult for me to do certain things in Photoshop, partly because I do not really have space to navigate, but also because I am much more accustomed to using a touchpad. Not that I haven't use a mouse at all in the intervening years, because I have... just not for what I'm doing :)

the keyboard and mouse on some laptop are like USB devices, meaning if one is not working others might not work too.
Will you send any info or link to me about your laptop model. That way I can research it. That touch pad is huge. mine is 1 x2.5 inches. I take things like laptops apart and fix them for fun. Hope I can help fix it so you can get back to your art.

Dell has had issues with their touchpads not working properly for many years. Using a mouse instead is a work around...

did Dell have info on the fix of it? or do you got a link to that info. I think it might be a hardware issue. Dell fix might just be send it in to get fixed which sort of means some low payed tech just swaps out the keyboard and touch pad. Depending on how adventurous you feel I can find or you can find the direction to swap it out with new parts. there maybe a new never used part on ebay that is cheap.

If you are an artist, please feel free to post pictures of your work. If not, please post paintings or sculptures you like.

Also, if your musician and you have original work, feel free to post a link of your songs.

I always liked Picaso, Christian Lassen, and Banksy. That would be my top three painters. What's yours?

These two paintings were done by Salvador Dali. O.k., I would probably put in Salvador Dali in my top 3, but might have to put Christian Lassen at the 4 spot, than put Salvador Dali at number 2. Anyways....




I was just thinking about making a art posting forum 🤔 I decided against it. My art is not welcomed here 😬

You can paint something new that is welcomed here?!?!

My mom recently came for a visit and dropped me off a bunch of painting supplies. She has been pestering me for years to start painting, but one day I felt like painting, and said, you can bring me paints. lol I have no idea when I'm gonna start painting, but maybe this summer will try something.

I haven't painted since highschool I think 🤔 my talents only extend to drawing. Maybe if I ever draw that Samson and Delilah picture I have been thinking of maybe. I'm going to get hassled here regardless what I post. People find my style unsettling. The Samson and Delilah would be in my own style. If it comes out to graphic or scary I will keep to my Christian anime and Christian game development groups. Don't know I will think about it. It probably isn't worth the hassle and inevitable panic attacks. I've already had my art called evil once this week, not looking a repeat.

Just post your new painting and say, I need encouragement, not criticism this time?!?!

Maybe ask for positive and negative feedback, so at least you will get a little encouragement. lol

I will post my painting whenever it's finished. It's been probably since grade school, since my last painting.

I'm working on a few projects rn. I'm doing artwork for a choose your own adventure book. If any turn out okay I might share a few here. I don't paint though. I do traditional artwork than scan and color it digitally.

I could see the cheek on our left ^ needed more smoothing...



Plus I warmed up ^ the facial tone a bit, and added more color to her cheeks...



And then changed her hair :)
