✨️Hello Everyone! ✨️
How goes it? Welcome back to another installment of emanate artworx. I've got a new portrait for you today :) Meet Amanda:
Amanda
Emanate Artworx / SCAB

Made with Ibis Paint
Inspo
The inspiration for this one came from a piece of mail I got as an advertisement for Stitch Fix a couple years ago. Yeah, it really was sitting there buried under some clutter all those months...The look on the model's face seemed like a perfect expression of IDGAF -- Muse activated. I wanted to keep her facial expression, and add some of my own vibe elements to make this one jump out and spark some kind of connection with you, the viewer.
While I had been hitting my goal of posting every Monday, this week I missed the mark! An old friend unexpectedly stopped by last weekend, and instead of creating, I was visiting. And I wanted #Amanda to look her best, so I continued to take my time with her this week. I did not want to rush this one. She's a little bit (fashionably) late, but it's okay. Right? Right.

Update
As mentioned in a previous post, I am hunting for a new setup for making digital art. I did some looking around and the app (software) that really caught my eye was Corel Painter 2023. One word: bRuShEs. At $430 USD (download price), it's not totally out of reach, but it's not totally in my current price range either lol. There is also a Painter Essentials, which could also be a great tool. I discovered my next level, yay 🎉😆
As I mentioned, for now I'm going with the paid version of Ibis Paint, now that the free 30-day trial has passed. It costs about $28 per year, which fits my budget a lot better than Painter right now. Having no ads is perfect! And the Ibis premium features are neat, though I'm still discovering how to best incorporate them into my worx. The Ibis community has loads of custom brushes, too - major bonus. So stay tuned!!
By the Way...
Great big thanks to @takethecrown who taught me how to make a stylus with household items. She is super talented too, so if you haven't yet, check out her blog!
Thanks for reading 🧡 Until next time

Dear @emanate-artworx, we need your help!
The Hivebuzz proposal already got important support from the community. However, it lost its funding a few days ago when the HBD stabilizer proposal rose above it.
May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work?
