To copy from my Mastodon (and also Blacksky), here's my pinned intro post for Friendica.
I'm Josh, and I mainly like to draw cute animal art, primarily centered around bunnies or rodents, and mice or rats in particular although squirrels are a fun subject too, or fanart.
I do traditional art and my fave drawing media are crayons, chalk, and oil pastels, and I also like to paint too, and my current fave painting media are Crayola markers blended with a wet brush as well as watercolor crayons as of late, and also acrylics and watercolors since way back, although I remember tempera/poster paint being fun to play with in grade and middle school too.
As for 3D art, modeling clay is also super fun for me to squish around with. A medium I've never used before but would like to at some point, although it would at least need a tarp laid down due to how I would want to use it, that being by soaking cloth strips in it and sticking those on an armature, which would be like paper mache turned up to 11 in terms of how crazy messy that technique would be, and also super fun to

I'll link the primary socials I'm active on below and also post some of my art to show off what I can do.

in reply to FadingScholar • •Thanks! And yeah, this is hand-drawn for real, I prefer using real materials because of the sensory feedback which you just don't get when pushing pixels on a screen. My preference for traditional over digital is very much a sensory thing.
Especially with 3D art too, actually squishing a sculpting material such as modeling clay around is way more fun than pushing dots in your preferred 3D modeling software.
