@LolotteduLot @cathy_garcia_canales @deligne Oui, il y a de moins en moins d'interaction. C'est un phénomène général sur les réseaux sociaux. Et #mastodon n'y échappe pas. Peut-être pourrait-on créer un groupe, à la manière de ceux qui existaient sur Facebook. On pourrait par exemple créer un hashtag dédié au soutien des mastocréateurs ; on ferait ensuite un message à nos abonnés respectifs pour leur expliquer les raisons de la démarche, et proposer aux personnes intéressées de s'abonner au hashtag, de donner des idées pour faire vivre ce hashtag, etc. Photo avec la création achetée... ou autres idées...
#MastoArt #mastocreative soutien aux #nogafam

@cathy_garcia_canales @deligne @LolotteduLot Oui, ce cercle infernal est une plaie. Il faudrait peut-être que #mastodon devienne un réseau de #solidarite autour des créateurs exilés des #gafam . Par ex., chaque abonné.e d'un. e créateurice s'engagerait à présenter son travail à deux personnes au moins. Pourrait aussi acheter chez les #mastocreateurs régulièrement quelque chose qui lui plaît ou/et dont il a besoin ( on n'oublie pas nos artisans locaux et le nogaspi bien sûr). Se soutenir, ça me semble entre #nogafam est essentiel, et tout #mastonaute se sent concerné par le sujet, je pense. Qu'en dis-tu ?

#mastocreative #MastoArt

Remember last month, when I told you my Occupational Therapist had the idea of me doing pet portrait #commissions via #venmo ?

I've done four of them now!

My finished piece.

In blue-toned halftone, at an an angle, is a dashing man with a plaintive , confused look on his face. He has sweeping dark hair, thick, expressive eyebrows, sharp cheekbones and square jaw.

The image is close-cropped, we see him from the neck up. He is wearing a black leather jacket and white silk scarf, wrapped tightly around his neck and tucked smartly in the jacket.

In the lower right is my signature.

Work in progress.

"Hazel eyes, he has..."

Beginning the digital process.
I've brought my pencil sketch into Illustrator. It's on it's own locked-down layer, while I am building my lines and shapes on their own separate layer.

This close-up shows my process starting with the shape of the face and the features, using the pen tool with the locked-down pencil sketch as a guide.
