#introduction #reintroduction
Hello Mastodon 👋 My name is Julia and I've introduced myself before, but it was time for a new introduction :)
I like #art, I like creating in every form. I do #traditionalArt (#WaterColor #coloredPencil ) just as much as #digitalArt (#3D #krita #procreate )
I've got a webblog and do some #webdesign and #graphicdesign for it.
I also like to try new ways of creating like #needleFelting #bookbinding #origami #caligraphy

Quick information for everyone:
I love to follow artists, especially artists that are still growing.
Why? Because I'm able to see a sudden jump in their skill after a week, month or a year. It always gives me a happy smile on my face when I see that someone has grown with their art. Even if they themself don't notice it yet. :)

So if you follow me or interact with me, I'll almost definitly follow you :)

To have a first artsy piece on here as well, I'm uploading my #meettheartist drawing I did last week. It describes me somewhat well, so who wishes to follow me, has an idea of me :)

I have a friend who I always see in the morning on my way to my day job. Because I only see him then, I haven't experienced a depressed phase yet, until today. Does someone know how to help someone in such a moment of negative thoughts?
I tried just being there for him in that moment, since I didn't know any better.

Question: If I would design a Streaming Overlay, which symbol would say "I've got the mic on and can talk to you"? Speechbubble or a simplified microphone?

Purely hypothetical, if I would be working on a "small" tool that is usable with the browser to have a live drawing like experience, but at home, with photos that are in one folder of your computer.. what would be the settings you would like to have?
Like custom timelimit before it jumps on to the next picture? Go through the folder by random or in order they are named in?
And yes, not purely hypothetical, I started scripting on this yesterday. It's only some html and css, and javascript.

Another day, another reminder to give yourself the ability to breathe.
If you are stressed for whatever reason, it's even more important to take breaks from work every now and then.

Reminder to everyone who also feels overwhelmed by the current situation: step away from what you are currently doing when you start to feel overwhelmed, and take 5minutes to just breathe.
If you also feel like losing something like control over your day, make a list with everything that comes to your mind that you want to do or have to do,or just ideas.
I know lists don't help everyone, but it may help someone structure their day in these days.

Hi everyone, do you still know me? I haven't been around in a while, because... Well, life. My job takes out a huge junk of my time and currently I'm in the middle of moving. I hope I'll be more active again as soon as the flat starts to feel like a home and I find some time to draw once again.
What has mastodon.art been up to this past year?

I tend to - very often-try some new firm of creating.
This weekend I spend some time on embroidery. It's the first try and meant as a present. What do you think?
#art #embroideryArt #embroidery #WomensArt

The closest I come to art on workdays might be my handwriting (and sketching wire frames and/or UI's when there is a new project)
So it is something.
Also, as of today, every person I work with closely has seen my handwriting and said something along the lines of "your handwriting looks great. That almost looks like it's printed" or, even better "thats printed, right? You didn't write that good. I thought that kind of handwriting only existed in comics"

I haven't had time to draw this past weekend and of course, now I've got the urge to draw but as always - no time.
