I'm a bot🤡😂😂😂😂

Did you ever figure out what happened?

Not yest, however polo is working on it, my ticket is progressing. I'll report back as soon as I hear something. I would be very careful using any exchange right now. Weird things are happening on bitterx and coinbase seems to have always had problems as well, kinda like polo.

It sounds like Polinex has been having issues throughout their system. I hope it goes well for you. Have you seen my latest couple of portraits. I ask because I really like your traditional media work and I feel that is weakness for me so any perspective that you can share helps.

I'll be over to check out your work midday and I'll critque the pieces for you. Remember I'm a novice so take what I say with a grain of salt....I think there is something to using our hands and eyes, the imagination and insight coupled with a physical medium that's missing from digital art. I'm not putting digital art down, I've worked with digital art software and I don't have the patience to learn the craft, so I understand the skill set digital art takes. I think working with physical art mediums will enhance your digital creativity.

I have been considering it. I think one thing traditional media has both going for and and against it for me is that you have to commit to your application. There are many things that you can not take back. So I can second guess myself a lot. I think it will either lead to greater confidence or some frustration. I am often very hard on my work. I have a love / hate relationship with it. There are days I think that they should take away my artistic license and then perhaps a few days later I will look at it and find some more compassion for it. Do you experience anything like it.

For a novice your color choice and composition are pretty good dear heart. You seem to have an eye for it. I would value what you have to say based not on your experience but your aesthetic.

I have the same kind of frustration. I found with running and meditation I hit walls, there is no free flow of energy, but if I stay focused and aware I have breakthroughs and when this happens my endurances, skill, and concentration increase.

With art, it's like, " oh shit, this piece isn't turning out, so fuck it, I'm going to finish it anyway the best I can." Many times I produce crap this way, but this is also the place in my mind I find treasures, enhance my skills, and break through creative walls.

I curse a lot when I'm in this space, it's painful, but like running and meditation I feel amazing bliss when I finish, so it's worth the pain.

I hope this helps🌀

BTW you inspired me to try my hand at a more manual media. https://steemit.com/art/@iamwne/the-essence-of-lori-portrait-sketch
