It's my birthday to-day (+ some reflection)
a month ago
General
In which I write my thoughts for people to read.
It's my birthday day. It's my birthday day to-day! (Hoo-ray!)
November 3rd is my birthday day, and now I'm 20 to-day!
I've had quite the eventful weekend moving and building furniture. It was mostly for family, but I'm one bookshelf richer (after a bit of assembly), and I've been making the most of the added space (I'm sure my jumble of books appreciate it). Unfortunately, moving refrigerators and building a book house is a recipe to make my spine hate me, so that hasn't been fun, but overall it's been positive.
In terms of drawing, progress has been slower than I'd like, but I'm progressing nonetheless. I'm thinking of making monthly updates on my learning and doing of art, mostly just for myself so I can stay motivated, and also it's something to do that's more complex than the fish. I might also do a monthly dream diary alongside that, because I've been having dreams more often now than I ever have in my life.
For this month, I'm going to really try and jump out of my comfort zone in terms of drawing things. I keep defaulting to basic shapes, 3D solids, and lines because that's what I'm most comfortable with, but its not really helping me improve in terms of anything other than linework and basic spatial reasoning. I just need to remember that nobody is really watching me or my mistakes, and that no matter how bad anything looks in the moment, it will improve over time.
(Edit: This is relatively small compared to the rest of the stuff but I found a legitimate cart of Drawn to Life (DS) WITH A CASE AND MANUAL. It's a birthday miracle)
That's all I've got on my mind right now honestly, remember to write another one of these on December 3rd and also to keep a dream diary in the meantime.
