Crayola and Sharpie on a 3 by 5 index card. At some point the yellow problem will be fixed, but that’s still a long way off. The blue Crayola marker was dying.
Streams last week went alright. I’m a lot better at Halo than I thought I would be, had a little trouble with Wandersong not wanting to work right (and I forgot to take note of the settings that fixed it), and the only person watching was my little brother (I’m very thankful for his support, and having a person there is so much better than being alone when doing something like this). My state of mind on it right now is that, while I would love more people to be there, I don’t expect it, because I’m pretty much starting at 0. Same goes for pretty much everything I’m doing.
Hope you all have a wonderful week, and safe travels!
Crayola, Sharpie and other markers on a 3 by 5 index card. Scanner turned the yellow peachy again, and a peril of not planning what your drawing is that sometimes you have to confirm that the things on the sides are counterweights. Also, I know nobody asked, but I am not sponsored, it’s just the materials on hand right now.
Finally figured out a link to go to Instagram! It’s under the links section on the right, and where I will be sharing other things I make. So far it’s mostly abstract little things, but I hope to add more verity as I learn more things, and what I may have crafted (because I also do crochet and other things!) once I figure out a camera or something.
I’m a little worried about burning myself out, as there are so many things I’m doing, and I can already see some things being pushed aside because I don’t have the energy. I do think I’m doing better than before, I don’t get as down when I’m feel like I’m behind on something, and try to remind myself that it’s ok to rest and not think about all the things that I could be doing. But it doesn’t help when there are things that I feel NEED to get done, or I SHOULD be doing, and I don’t have the time or energy for them. Thankfully I’m still a long way off from needing to really drop anything, but I do feel like I need to examine some rough spots with getting things done and see if I can smooth them out a little.
Sharpie, Crayola, and a random fine tip marker on a 3 by 5 index card. Also, my scanner turned the yellow into a peachy color… 😑
Currently thinking to share the other things I draw on Instagram, because creatures are not the only things make, and it doesn’t really make sense to draw something and not share it when I’m trying to put myself out there.
I’m also thinking to do some live streams this month, as I only have a small stretch of pet sitting towards the end of it. I’m pretty sure I’ve explained in a previous post about why the live streams, but just in case. The reason is because I am hoping to combat the facts that I only interact with a rather small group of people on the regular, have practically no presence online, and I’m not particularly comfortable being in the public eye. And while they may game related right now, I also hope to eventually have the wherewithal to do art ones, because I like sharing what I make and learning what people think about it. And while I know that for some people just watching the process itself can be fascinating or even soothing, I also know that people are curious and may have questions about how or why I did something that I won’t have the answer for later. For example, while I’m pretty sure I started with the big eye feather, I’m not sure why it’s a bird thing, or why it’s pupil is shaped like that.
Now I just have to find the courage to do these things… ugh… Ok. I will post to Instagram, and put a schedule of live streams this week on YouTube. I just need to remember to do so, and not let myself get too worked up about it. Wish me luck.
Hope you all have a wonderful week, and independence day if you celebrate one, and safe travels!!!
