Fine tip markers on 3 by 5 index card, and my scanner once again proves how it doesn’t like some colors, as the pale flower are actually more like a neon yellow. The blue and gray are pretty spot on though.

There may be some changes to posting coming up (time and energy permitting). My current thinking is to start posting the weekly little Cute or Creepy creatures to Instagram, doing something a bit bigger and (hopefully) nicer once a month on here, and posting to YouTube every other week (finishing up current projects before starting any new ones).

Now, all of that isn’t going into effect today, I have to find the time to do these things and become comfortable with them, so it will probably happen in stages. Also, knowing myself, my plan will go all cattywampus and I’ll be either back at square one, or doing something else.

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

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!
