Well, here we are! I know a lot may not end up reading this but here's an update~
I recently moved a bunch of stuff and due to crazy schedule changes and moving stuff and organizing and crap haven't been able to photoshop a lot - been drawing freehand a bit though.
Also, I find I've reached that level where photoshopping is becoming exhausting once again. This has happened before in the past - I took about a year off and came back and worked really hard and improved quite a bit from where I was before I believe - but basically my level is still where if I want anything to look half way decent and not like crap it takes about 24 hours total to finish it, minimum. Which is fine, but I don't have nearly the time or patience to spend on it. One of the reasons I was photoshopping so much these past few months is that my goal was to get faster - like do a piece in a few hours, like a pro. And while I totally believe I've improved in other areas, time management is not one of them. I'm now frustrated at the time it takes to crank out an idea, and if I get bored or can't get the feel of the piece within a couple hours, I abandon it completely, which means like 20 psd files gathering pixelated dust Yaddayaddayadda the point is that I need a photoshop break! I don't know how long it will last - (please lord not another whole year ye gods) but it needs to happen. I'll keep doing other art things - I just might not upload them (my sketches look really bad under scans - you can see all the imperfections CLOSE UP). I'm trying to finish one last piece but we'll see if I even get that done. ON THE PLUS SIDE I'll be able to see if my art drastically changes when I come back (watch me take all this back within the following month and finish 12 pieces or something crazy hahahahahaaaaugh)~!!! Cheers for now!

I
Am exhausted. Quick upload then bye. UHHHH in other news:
1. Wanna force myself to try out a new brush as I think it'll help out my art
2. I'm so tired I tried to go into the wrong house when I got home
3. Happy Holidays
4. I changed my avatar! I wanna redraw the old one - maybe the next OC, in a new art style, and I kinda think it would be fun to make it my new avatar every time!
5. I am so SLOW STILL *cries*
6. Really want a ipad pro/apple pencil but am telling myself that maybe it's worth it to keep doing tablet as the keyboard shortcuts probably take a long time and maybe the pen isn't really that great and maybe the pressure i
WAs
gonna say - TMW you finish a huge art piece you were working on - and then you gotta decide the next commitment...
TBH I am still struggling with time management and I have a TON of unfinished ideas - I will be forcing myself to finish HAR series and a OC portrait I started like no joke 3 - 4 months ago, and I want to do a Devin but tonight I may* be starting another music piece... Don't hurt me
*if I start anything it will 100% be that
WHERE
AUGH IT'S HOT AND I'M REALLY PISSED
I LOST AN ART FILE
IT WASN'T EVEN THAT IMPORTANT I JUST WANTED A LAYER ON IT
BUT IT'S ON THIS EXTERNAL HARDRIVE BUT IT'S LIKE VERY SLIGHTLY CORRUPT AND WON'T LET ME SEARCH FOR IT
SO NOW IT'S GONE FOREVER UNTIL I RANDOMLY FIND IT SOMEDAY B/C THERE'S THOUSANDS OF FILES ON THERE B/C IT'S MY ART FOLDER
AND I CAN'T SEARCH THRU IT ALL
AND I ALREADY SPENT HOURS WORKING
TBH I'M JUST MORE PISSED I CAN'T SEARCH PERIOD
LIKE THIS TIME IT'S OK BUT
WHAT IF IT WAS A PAINTING I REALLY NEEDED TO FIND OR A REALLY IMPORTANT PHOTO OR SOMETHING
DAMNIT AS;DKFALKDJLFHIUADKSCFPaelw/kdjshawlkbdnsfhk
AND I KNOW I S
WRITIN'
GUYS I'M TRYING A NEW ART STYLE IT'S REALLY HARD BUT I THINK I DIG IT A LOT! It looks simple but my drawing is so stiff that doing simply flowing shapes is a challenge for me... PLUS it's a rough painting style and my OCD kicks in and wants to make it perfect and clean, which is uh - the opposite - of what I want to - stAPH - sigh~
I'm trying to get a faster style down (always) but I've also always loved like the cartoon style and I've been seeing kind of dry-brush painter style around, so I'm trying to use it in hopes that I'll get faster and it's also so cute! Of course, this wasn't fast at all, but hey I got like 3 Xfiles watched while do
