Checker Bug

3 by 5 and sharpies again. Also, I was off on the size of sharpies last time, they were fine and ultra fine, which was the sizes used here as well.

Stuff and things!

Classes: still not signed up, which I should probably do soon, however I want to make sure I have enough to pay for this website and taxes first. I do have a little saved to cover things if need be, but I would rather it didn’t come to that.

Social: I’m not ready yet.

Paintings: finished another one… two?… I don’t know, my log book for that stuff isn’t at home. Same dilemma as last time though, and I felt the same as last time, so same result. My wonderful sister did give me the idea of getting a light box for taking pictures of them. It is a bit lower on the list of things to put money towards, but it also sparked a few more ideas, so we’ll see what happens.

YouTube: working on some art videos, not the best set up for them, but when is it ever. Also need better pictures of the end results.

Streaming: doing as I thought it would, with pretty much just me in there (although some family members and possible others decided to watch the first one, for which I’m very thankful), struggling with the game and premise I chose (Morrowind is so SLOW, and I made it even SLOWER). However I also think that it is helping me be more comfortable with the idea of live streaming, and working on that skill, which will hopefully transfer over a little to an art live stream later. (no live streams this weekend though, I’m pet sitting)

Vehicle: My older brother fixed the problem!!! It still has issues, however it can drive, and that’s the important thing!

Website: haven’t had much time to poke at it this week, will poke at it later.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, and see many cool bugs! (unless you don’t like them, in which case I hope you see none.)

Guard Duty

Decided to work on a little shading with this one, and I’m pretty happy with it today! I have noticed that I am generally happier with how my art is turning out right now, and I think some of that is because I’m allowing my art to just be what it is, and not pressuring myself to do more than I’m ready for yet.

Also, if you noticed those shadows on the top and bottom of this piece, it’s because I’m using regular old printer paper which wrinkles from all the ink that gets put on it. Sometimes it even causes the tape to unstick from the board!… This one did that… to be fair the current tape already has a hard time sticking anyway. Which is nice because it means you don’t have to worry about it tearing the paper, the flip side is the not staying on the board which can lead to your paper getting beat up. Maybe I’ll try a mix next time.

And incase you didn’t notice, there has been a change to the comments section which should make it a little easier for some people to leave one! No pressure though.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
