…and also reminding me that I need to get back into art, lol! I’m really missing it lately. 🙂

And thank you, for that reminder. Those verses truly speak volumes, and I hope to keep them in mind, always!

God bless,

I hope that by now you’ve found a bit of comfort, or understanding, but I still wanted to offer a word of encouragement–I hope.

I’m really sorry that you’re going through a difficult time, but also, it’s “okay” to have those moments. Not that it makes the tough times any less tough at ALL, but know that everyone…[Read more]

I haven’t really been active on here either, since you know, life and craziness and all that, haha. Thankfully, I’m doing well.

As I’m sure you’re all aware, our world is struggling right now.

This current situation has been weighing heavily on me for months now, and I felt the need to call on my dear Ereki’s.

I’m sure you already are, but I wanted this to be a reminder for us all to PRAY, without ceasing. Pray for health, pray for strength, pray for…[Read more]

I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving, and good luck to those who are doing NaNo! You’re almost done! Woohoo!

I wasn’t sure how things would turn out, but the “open” ending didn’t actually bother me that much. Unless some massive plot twist was supposed to happen, I think I can see the way it was going to end. At least, all of the evidence was pointing in one direction.

Yes! Howl’s Moving Castle, is one of my…[Read more]

Currently, I’m reading The Mystery of Edwin Drood, by Charles Dickens, which I’ll be finishing up really soon.

After that, I’m thinking of picking up a fantasy by Diana Wynne Jones (can’t think of the name right now); a retelling of the story of Merlin I think… I don’t know much about it, actually.

That out of the way: ;p

-Finish the book I’m reading

-Edit daily

Your last 2 pics are my favorite– very nice!

I’ve still been drawing, but I keep forgetting to post here on the forum…whoops!

As far as reference pictures go, I use them frequently though it depends on what I’m drawing. I typically use them when I’m drawing an action pose, or to help get the structure…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart Thank you!  And your dragon is awesome, by the way. 🙂

Hope your tests went well! >.<

Days 5-10 (sorry for the spam!)

I work in a greenhouse…So— a plastic bubble that magnifies the heat of the sun. I’ve often thought that a greenhouse would be an interesting setting for a story, or at least a character that works in one.

I’m sure it’s very hard work, but anything ind…[Read more]

-Work on edits

-Finish up blog post

-Read

And that means a lot, since I’ve always been interested in digital. Thanks for the encouragement!

Also, I really liked your entry today. (Coincidentally, it looks a bit like mine!) The shading, and depth in your pieces are really well done.

I kind of made a mess of this one…but oh well.

@ncstokes Thanks, it took a lot of brainstorming! 😉

@deeprun Ha! I’ve always thought digital was intimidating. But ink still scares me a little too, which is why I tend to use watercolor most of the time. 🙂

-get busy plotting

-finish crocheting gift

-keep up with INKTOBER

-get some reading done

Let’s go!

Hope everyone’s goals go well this week!! 🙂

P.S. I need to work on shading skin a little better… any tips?

It’s actually more like art journaling… Basically, I just use a lot of stickers, and washi tape, and pictures, and whatever else is pretty! haha

Awe, thank you!
