I was a big Greek mythology buff at school. My dad had bought an encyclopedia in the late '70s, and I was learning everything about it via it. Naturally, my favorite character was goddess Athena. All about knowledge & wisdom. The most kind-hearted of the gods too. So I had to paint a portrait in her honor.
Hey all Lef here. I’m a queer digital artist and budding potter new on mastodon :) let’s connect! This month I’m doing #inktober - I’ll be doing an illustration a day leading up to Halloween 👀 here are my first four illustrations of the month. Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see 👌 #introduction
As a palette-cleanser from my daily #Inktober#urbansketching, a watercolor of 10 years ago from life (our town’s best model). I posted another from that session, which was better and simpler. #WaterColor No underdrawing, as has often been my approach. #premiercoup
Please boost! I’m publishing these with some hope that others may start #bestthingtoday sketchnotes: it’s a great way to build and strengthen positive memories.
I'm stubbornly continuing to draw on the wrong side of this accordion book. It still works even if it's like drawing on a wool blanket. But it's #inktober, and what better way to celebrate? Today is Saturday, and the coffee shop has a new crew of people who aren't yet tired of being drawn in the way that the mid-week regulars are. #urbansketching#cavemanMode
Two gouache paintings I made for an online challenge sometime back.
Continuing my tech-related post from yesterday, I'd say that my dream computer these days is a capable Risc-V-based mini computer running Debian. The Risc-V is the only open source ISA architecture today, but it is not 100% there yet in terms of speed: it gets about 500 points in the CPU score, while an M1 Macbook Air gets about 14,000 points, and Ubuntu with Gnome to run well-enough it needs about 3500 points. Video codecs are an issue too. It still runs well-enough Debian with XFce though. So we aren't there yet, but its time will come.
