fine-liner on 3 by 5 index card.

I got distracted by things (mainly the local gaming convention) and forgot to post last week 😑. I did do a type of drawing that I haven’t done in a while, and I’m pretty happy with the results, so have an extra picture this week!

pencil on 3 by 5 index card (there’s a blank space under the cat that I cropped out)

I think I’m going to move away from having a list of things I’m working on here, partly because that has already happened, and partly because it made me feel sad as it kept growing and the status of them hardly ever changed. As for what I will do instead… no idea yet. I generally don’t have much to write about, or feel comfortable putting out there for the whole world to potentially see, so it’s hard to see how to make this engaging.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, and safe travels!

Bullet fine line markers on a 3 by 5 index card (found some in my room!). The black bled a little.

Making progress on things is still difficult. Doesn’t help that my sleep schedule got WAY off track, and I’m having a hard time feeling motivated. Also the stove broke mid week, however we should be getting a new one today.

Hope you all have a wonderful week and safe travels!

Bullet fine line markers on 3 by 5. I like the shape of the fish-thing, and I’m pretty happy with how the lighter blues kind of the effect I was going for, however it doesn’t have much of a cute or creepy feel to it, and the background probably would have been better if I used the blues on the fish. Overall I think I did fairly well considering I’d had four hours of, interrupted, sleep.

Tax season is finally over, which means I will hopefully have better access to transportation to do painting and the like.

I need to do some thinking about how to make drawing and stuff like that a more regular and less stressful part of my life again, because I’ve noticed that most of my drawing time is just making a creature to get a post done right now, and it makes it difficult to even start drawing when it feels like it has to be presentable every time you make something, like there’s no room to just play around and let it be ugly and chaotic. So I’m going to look at what I was doing before, see if I can at least draw some inspiration that, and go from there.

Hope you have a wonderful week, and safe travels!

Colored pencil (or watercolor pencils, they don’t say on them) and a pen on a 3 by 5 piece of cardstock.

I’m not sure I have the patience needed to make colored pencil look good right now.

Haven’t made a lot of progress on much, however I did make a space to sleep in my room, so I’m not on the couch anymore!

Hope you all have a wonderful week, and safe travels!

Gel pen on 3 by 5 piece of cardstock. Forgot to position my hand so that the pen wouldn’t smudge and the like, but I think it kind of added to the feeling of it.

I don’t have any pet sitting for about two weeks, so hopefully I can get some work done on things in that time. I am noticing that it currently takes me a few days to get into the groove of stuff at home when I get back, which is going to take some trial and error to help mitigate, and I’m going to be paying the price of that a bit today as I forgot about a morning commitment and there’s a bunch of Easter stuff to do still.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, safe travels, and Happy Easter!

Fine point pen on 3 by 5 piece of cardstock.

I’ve been home for about half a week, and on the one hand I’m a little frustrated to say that I haven’t really made any progress on stuff and things. On the other hand, my first day back involved helping family, second was feeding missionaries, third was a game session, and that’s on top of the regular shopping and cooking… yesterday I got laundry done, however I didn’t do most of anything else that I meant to do, and instead just listened to music and did nonograms. And I don’t think next week is going to be much different, as I’m pet sitting again for about half the week, and there’s Easter, General Conference, and some birthdays to do stuff for… 😩(at least I’ve found emojis?)

Hopefully I can get some stuff done today.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, and safe travels!

Sharpies and a Crayola marker on a 3 by 5

Meant to post last week, however I am pet sitting and completely forgot.

As for moving forward on things… I’m pet sitting, not much I can do about most of it right now, so I do other things instead. Like read, crochet, doodle/sketch/draw, and play sudoku. I haven’t really talked much with anyone in over a week and it does not bother me, because I need time to be by myself and actually rest for a bit. Now that does depend a bit on the pet sitting situation, and how my head is doing, but this current stretch has been very nice for it.

Hope you all have safe travels, a wonderful week, and get the rest that you need!

Lined Flower

Sharpies on 3 by 5. Also, I may switch back to just the date instead of trying to name every single one, as there are a LOT of these (about 52 a year if I post one every week) and naming things is not a strength of mine.

Stuff and Things! Everything has been a bit derailed due to an incident with my bed frame, however it has been the kick in the pants I need to get my room figured out and make the bed that I want, so there’s that. Until then, I am sleeping on the couch, which is kind of helping me stay motivated.

Classes: If I want to take the class I’m looking at, I would need to sign up for it soon, as it starts in April. However, I’m not sure about funding it at the moment.

Paintings: on hold while I figure out my room.

Redbubble: I may not have made any progress on it this week, however I will have plenty of time to do so soon, as I’ll be pet sitting for about two and a half weeks! Just have to hope I remember to do so.

Room: I’ve cleared almost a quarter of the carpet of debris! If you don’t count areas covered by furniture.

Social: I’ve had no time to think about it.

Streaming: haven’t had time to think about that either.

Thumb: unchanged

Website: unchanged

YouTube: unchanged

Other than that… I think I had something to say, but then I had to go do something and forgot what it was so… I hope you have a wonderful week, safe travels, and that daylight savings (if that’s something you have to deal with) doesn’t effect your health too badly!

Nest weaver

Surprise surprise, it’s sharpie on 3 by 5! And it will be sharpies for a while, as I have a container full of them, am trying to use up materials, and they are rather convenient while I figure out how to do other things.

Stuff and Things!

Classes: I minorly forgot about them, so I’m still not signed up… however things are looking a little more hopeful in the paying for them department if things line up right!

Paintings: Finished the last Cute or Creepy one! and then I actually looked up why I was having so many issues with some things… yeah… my last one especially would have looked better if I had known those things before hand, but such is life. Next is landscape paintings. As for pictures, I’m hoping to have enough to pay for everything I need to and have some left over for a light box or something after the next few stretches of pet sitting.

Redbubble: I think they changed some things for having a store (or I just missed something), so I have some things to change/update, however I hope to have it going soon! Also, while I am working on some things specifically for redbubble, if you see something I’ve made here and you want to be able to get it on something or just a sticker of it, leave a comment on it letting me know.

Social: I’m having a little bit of a dilemma, as my phone is running out of space, and I kinda need all of the things on it. I’m talking like don’t have any games on it, got rid of a method of communication (pretty much only used once in a blue moon with family, but STILL!!!) levels of running out of space. So I may need to forget about social for a bit, because it takes up too much space to try and keep right now, however social is one of THE methods for getting your stuff out there. So I’m not sure what to do yet.

Streaming: Will not be doing for most of next month due to pet sitting. And I’m contemplating adding another game, because the one I’m doing is sooooooo sloooooooow and not very conducive to engagement… And I’m already not a very engaging person.

Thumb: Is fine! While my efforts probably helped, it wasn’t as bad as I thought, and while there’s still a little recovering to do, it is no longer annoying, it just looks a little funny.

Website: unchanged, due to forgetfulness and anxiety.

YouTube: Unchanged.

… I think that’s pretty much it. Safe travels, and I hope you all have a wonderful week!
