>>2165945Really appreciate that chief. Glad you appreciate the aesthetic.
I like to draw but I feel like a fake artist. I can make it look like I know how to draw but I lack fundamentals. In high school, I doodled a lot in class and I created and drew a lot of characters but often in rather static poses.I also never really had anyone teach me anything, I kind of just doodled till it looked alright. I have stopped drawing mostly since I got out of school but I still occasionally draw my favorite character.
As for how I got into this aesthetic, I have a friend who is really into "cozy" in the warm, log cabin, rustic type of look. I like more industrial cold looks so I started collecting what I called "Cold Cozy" pictures that made me feel comfortable (mostly wallpapers). I loathe the heat and love the cold so that's why I prefer the cold look. I found a thread called Gloomy Urban and I realized my "Cold Cozy" aesthetic fit in almost perfectly into urban gloomy. I uploaded quite a few papes and people seemed to like it so I kept doing it!
Sorry for the autobiography. For your time and attention, have a pape!
