Sakura pigma pens (mostly microns, plus a graphic 1 for space fill) on a 3 by 5 index card. My hands were not the steadiest when working on this one for some reason, so there’s some wonkiness that i’m unsure

… I am once again reminded that I don’t like editing this with a tablet/phone, because it won’t let me work on the section above. So, to continue what I was trying to say, there’s some wonkiness and I’m unsure if it makes it better or not.

This post is late today because I forgot about it yesterday. I also forgot to do some other things as well, so I’m currently hoping that a little notebook full of the things I forget like that will help, which I know sounds like a no brainer, and it is, I was just making it too complicated for myself by trying to break it down into day, week, month, and so on. My current plan is just a little notebook with a list that gets added to whenever I forget to do a regular thing. Will it make it so this never happens again? No. It will hopefully reduce the amount of times I run into this problem though.

I still haven’t made anything that I feel like entering into the exhibit, and I think my dad is right in that, if I’m not ready than I’m not ready and that’s ok, there’s always next year. And think it’s because I tend to, as I call it, “percolate” on things till I’m ready and then just do them. So, in the meantime, I’m going to try to make art more of a priority and work on my skills so I will hopefully feel ready next year.

As for Instagram… I’m still figuring it out. I’ve decided to share the stages of what I post here, and I’m trying to share the other things I make. Getting myself to post has proven difficult, but that’s kind of why I’m doing it in the first place, so it’s not unexpected, just a little frustrating.

My knee is still recovering, and I did some pet sitting this week, which was interesting. I felt a couple twinges that concerned me, felt the strain of being on feet a little too long at times, and figuring out how to sleep was interesting, but overall I think it was ok!

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!

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!
