learning how to draw

today's studies! 2 from classes and 2 x 15 min warmups. (I couldn't get rid of the weird bubble on the portrait studies no matter what glaze settings I used. :/ if anyone has any tips pls let me know)

I haven't posted much in a long time because I was ashamed of having the ups and downs in quality from a lack of art education and experience, but there's nothing wrong with needing work on my fundamentals. I want to be more consistent about posting studies AND finished work. it's hard to work through in my head and heart, but it's ok to not be perfect. I am trying to work through that mindset rather than stagnate indefinitely. looking forward to having fun and having some learning experiences.

for my fellow silly geese –

go to 'settings' ->

pick the blog ->

Hi, if you want other contact info, please let me know. I'm on Twitter, bluesky, and Instagram as catcactusoww. Tumblr is fucked. I'm not really sure what to do, so if you want to move off this hellsite and keep in touch, please reach out!

I'm trying to be kind and patient with this statement, but given that it sounds like you've already downloaded everything and our opt-out request will require an honor system that we have to "trust" that you (or whoever you've already sold our data to) will actually delete it, I'm having a hard time finding kind words.

I don't really care about the opt-out. You've already downloaded everything. I know tumblr does literally everything the worst possible way every single time, but for once in god damn history can we do the right thing first. It's too late. I'm leaving. Everyone else is leaving. You fucked everybody. How are we EVER supposed to trust you.

(I'm not speaking to you personally, tumblr staff who posted this. I'm sorry this happened. I know you're trying, but my god. Who can I yell at PLEASE. i dont want to complain to poor staff. Give me the ceos fucking email.)

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.
