not dead yet
Jul. 3rd, 2024 11:50 pmI'm crawling out from under my rock to say I'm still here even if I don't have anything particularly cool to share.
I think I did this for a Drawesome prompt, but didn't like how it turned out so I didn't submit it.
And then the entire month of May just got sucked into a void and I literally drew nothing at all. My sketchbook jumps from April 24th to June 1st.
So I was like, "I must remedy this! I will sketch every single day!"
A vow that lasted until June 4th apparently.
The "tear drop" was just a paint spill that dripped when I was doing the eye and I decided to paint around it since I hadn't painted the rest of the face yet. So, yeah, it makes no sense artistically because it wasn't planned to be there.
I drew one today, but I'm not sharing it because it's extra ugly. Might throw some paint markers on it to make me hate it less. We'll see.
And despite filling up the current sketchbook at a snail's pace and despite having a couple of other sketchbooks "in process" and despite having a whole stack of blank sketchbooks that I haven't even started ... I bought another sketchbook today.
It was only $10 and it opens flat and I couldn't resist.
Anyway, on the topic of sketchbooks, I'm giving the official thumbs-down to the current one. It's a "Mondo Llama" sketchbook that I bought at Target and it's less than half full and I've already had to duct tape the spine back together and the cover is also warping.
(The bright blue is duct tape.)
