Pentel pointliners and a Sakura pigma brush pen (much better for filling spaces!) on a 8.5 by 11 paper. Still working on my shading skills, and I probably should have given things a little more perspective/dimension, but I didn’t think about that until after I had put the layout ink, so I think I did alright with what I gave myself to work with! (one of my brothers got me a pack of Sakura pens)
One of my brothers heard about my struggle with my phone (It was very old by phone standards and didn’t have space for all the things I was trying to do), and was so kind as to get me a new one. The timing was great too, because I probably would have kept using it until it died (becoming more and more frustrated along the way), and I was thinking of hanging on to it for other uses, however my nieces device died, so it went to her. So, now that I have a new phone that can handle all that I was doing with plenty of room to spare, I should have a much easier time with Instagram, and I might play around with short form videos.
I’m now in week three of knee recovery, could be fine at the end of week four, could take week 6 or more, knee recovery is long and annoying. And while I try to do my best every time something happens to them, I don’t think I’m that great at it, and I worry that I may be making things worse at times. I still get little aches and pains from using it a little too much wandering the house, but my mom was so kind as to get me a brace, which is hopefully helping with strain and stability (especially since I plan on being out of the house for the majority of today on a girls trip. The last time I was out of the house was over a week ago, and it’s been even longer since I’ve seen these most of them, I should be ok as long as I take things slow). It has gotten easier to sleep as I don’t need to prop it up as high for it to be comfortable, and sometimes it’s fine for side sleeping as well, which I think helps me a lot.
I should probably ask this more often, or at least a variant, if I’m looking for more engagement. What do you think is going on in this picture? and please let me know! It helps me want to keep doing this.
And as always, I hope you all have a wonderful week, and safe travels!
