Can’t wait to join!

I know there's a lot of Neocities discord servers floating around. Would you join one focused on ~cyberculture~ and ~old web~ if I made one? Idk just throwing some ideas out there.

You could try other visual media! Maybe even mixed media. Dadaism is a neat style that doesn't typically involve much drawing.

Uh, lately my tactic has been: sketch in my sketchbook, take a photo (I don't have a scanner), then digitize it with the line tool in Paint Tool Sai (which I highly recommend). Other than that, I can only offer the dreaded "practice," lol.

i'm all about collage! i think it's a really great way to express yourself :') and you don't neccesarily need physical media to do it either: you can do it digitally, with an app if you'd prefer! (Picsart is a really neat app that allows people to upload transparent pngs to use as stickers, it's rly fun!)

Thank you all for the replies!! I wish I could respond to you individually... and I doubt you guys will see this but I just put in a feature request for comment replies. Unlikely but at least I tried lol. I LOVE YOU ALL <3

I can't draw either. I use Inkscape. You manipulate nodes with a mouse and keyboard until the buggy-ass program crashes and you get angry. But it works most of the time.

you could learn to draw. I did that and it works sometimes.

So apparently if you sign up with an account at Archive.org, it gives you an option to "save outlinks" when you add a page, which will automatically archive all pages of the site. I had no idea!! Brb while I spend the next 6 hours archiving ;~;

yes! this is a great feature. when you save a page, it'll archive all the pages that are linked on that page. especially useful if you have a site map that links to every page on your site - then you can archive the whole thing in one go!!
