When was "trap" ever supposed to be derogatory?
it was originally just a dumb star wars reference until it started being used to describe transwomen or crossdressers who were presumed to be actively attempting to deceive heterosexual men, when in reality, they're just minding their own business while dressing the way they please—they're not trying to "trap" anyone
i'm sure there are men who go to public places dressed as women with the sole intent of tricking hetero guys into sleeping with them, and you would probably be justified in calling them traps, especially if that's how they identify themselves
but the word does have transphobic history, and you could argue that its use tends to lump you into a group of people that the enlightened (or just humorless) folk among us would consider undesirable
I thought traps weren't supposed to be trans-women. Just "fem-boys" who present as feminine but still identify as male.

Tomorrow I will wake up and struggle to find the motivation to do anything.

don't expect to be good at it starting out, especially if you're not used to picking out forms and draw it multiple times/iteratively; think about the progress you're going to see in months or years, not weeks, and ask for feedback if you are having trouble figuring things out
stagnation can be disappointing and art can be very slow to improve on, keeping focused practice on your mind and having goals to work towards will eventually get you there
Well I've climbed the skill latter already when it comes to learning more advanced graffiti styles (though I'm no where near the top) so I know how it goes when learning a new art form. That took a few years and I wouldn't expect it to be different for any other kind of art.

Cool, thanks for the help. That line of action site is nice. I actually think I remember hearing some artist talk about finding references for poses in martial arts and parkour videos, now that I think about it.

I hadn't heard of Drawabox before. I'll have to check it out. I am curious about what resources you use for practicing anatomy/figure drawing. It's the thing I want to improve most of all currently, but my practice is pretty aimless and without any clear direction or guidance. I don't really know where to find a good source of references to study.

Can'y you try being a bum and getting that sweet sweet welfare check?
The eternal problem, I know. Step one, have money already. So you're telling me you don't currently have an income, even pre-corona? Or I'm going to guess that you're entrapped in a mass of bills and debt you can't break free of?
No I literally have no income. I haven't been able to work a legitimate job for years. The only reason I don't starve is because of my grandmother, who I live with. I have been advised to try and apply for disability by multiple people but I avoided it for years because I just felt undeserving of free tax payer money like that. I've realized that I really need to just get over it and go for it so I can afford the most basic needs I have, but I haven't applied because I am having a very hard time getting a definitive diagnosis from doctors to prove my case to the government.

I just ate a spoon of almond butter.
How goes the gut issues?
Well it's not great, but it could be and has been a lot worse. Covid is of course delaying any help I might get from my doctor.

Furniture restoration's a pretty solid bet. The downside is the investment in time. If you find that it's not something you want to do, then it's a heavy price. Refinishing isn't that difficult though. It's the meticulous nature many people can't deal with. Why not try it out? Just teaching yourself the basics and refining it? Not like you're going to do anything else in the meantime right?
The thing is, you have to have a least some level of income to start restoring furniture.

I feel you buddy. I'm in this strange position where I'm just moving forwards but I don't know where to, or for how long. I'm always just kind of borderline on finishing that I tried to off myself about six years ago. Part of me keeps hanging on for all the people I cared about, and the other part of me just sees a long blank hallway ahead. Hard to keep optimistic when my life is so empty. Hard to find a way out when the reasons I had to make things not empty are gone.
What sort of skills you got? Maybe I can help. Part of my trick for travelling is selling myself as a private contractor. It's not work from home, but similiar principles.
tbh my only significant skill is with art/drawing, and it isn't even close to the level I want to be at to make a career out of it. I've got a little bit of experience with painting/refinishing furniture, but not enough to where I would be confident to charge anyone for it.

I have no idea what I'm doing. My life has been on hold for years due to my health and I can't seem to find any effective help that will allow me to get out into society and gain an income again. I really need to find a way to monetize some skill I have from home, but I really don't know what to do.

Do you know much about street art? Because I sure don't. What is it about the particular style that appeals to you more than other forms? Looking at the way your work is done, I think it's relaxing when you do it. It reminds me of the "paint by numbers relaxes you" deal. I can imagine that in the methodology of making your work you tend to disappear into it as you work.
Well I wouldn't claim to be an expert or anything. I just enjoy it and follow many graffiti/street artists and am part of various online graff communities. I like basically every type of street art but letters are my favorite. I just like the different geometric forms, the composition and flow you need, and the many different styles there are. And yes, when I do a graff sketch it's usually a pretty calculated process.

Was it on trains or buildings?
No train yards anywhere near where I lived. It was on brick walls and tarmac. Here's a shitty flip phone picture of my first ever piece. Full color sketch:

Why shouldn't the creator be allowed to make that decision for their own videos?

Can't you just order bulk DXM powder online? It's not like it's illegal.

Oh I wasn't suggesting you ask her about it, if that's what you mean.

I can always count on sketching graffiti or abstract art when I'm in an art block.
You ever do any street art?
I've done a few things in the past, but not for many years now. The last time was in 2012.
