I Make Art - Blog Posts
I'm a graphic designer (much to my own chagrin).
WHY
In GOD'S HO-FricKING-LY CREATION
Is NO ONE TALKING
abOuT
REFERENCING
I've been a graphic designer for four-ish years. And I have plenty of social media. Tiktok, Youtube, Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram (kinda).
Yes, I know rendering is hard. Rendering, for beginning artists and designers, is a *insert creative expletives here* of a skill to learn. It's hard. I know.
But refeRENCING. REFERENCING. I SCOUR PINTEREST AND GOOGLE AND FRACKING REFERENCE SITES AND I CANT FIND THE ONE. THE ONE THING. THE ONE THING I NEED.
and it's not even a pose. Those are even harder. I'm talking about a picture of a bee. Just a bee. A bee in flight. Not that hard, right?
THINK AGAIN! IT'S-IT'S A NIGHTMARE! I NEED A REALISTIC- NO, NOT BUGS BUNNY!- A REALISTIC- that's a carTOOOOON- A REALISTIC BEE- that's an abomination get it away- A REALISTIC, HELL, JUST A PICTURE OF A BEE IN FLIGHT.
It shows me everything but the kitchen si- nope, never mind, there it is. Everything except a FLIPPING BEE PICTURE.
And when I do find what I need, it's rarely a transparent png, so I have to manually cut it out of its background and transform it to the right angles and distortions, and then I'll extract the "line drawing" and it just makes it black and white!
REFERENCING IS A NIGHTMARE.
Being a graphic designer was my childhood dream, everyone. But now that I'm getting paid? I hate it. I hate my dream job, people.
This is why I've taken up crochet and Garageband again, people.

I need to draw more for this, I have so many notes on how I imagine Black Hat's species' biology and culture to work. it's a lot of sciency stuff (researched! mostly getting inspired by sea creatures, plants and micro organisms)
