Updates (art, money, school, life)

○ commissions : Open
○ trades : friends only
○ requests : friends only Hey, anyone who happens to be reading this. I know I hardly post?? I'm very irregular with sharing my art, sorry.
The last time I made a journal I was advertising art trades? I get these grandious ideas but I never really think about executing them.
I'm not very good with time. So I've decided I'm just going to focus on myself and my art for the time being.
I don't want to disappoint people with super slow conversations. I'm a very busy person, and I'm not good at being busy.
So, I'm sorry for getting folks hopes up!
As for an actual update...I've been working for the past??? Five almost six months? I'm a waitress and I've been making decent money.
I've been saving up for a new bed and a car. For the first time I've been able to buy whatever I want!!
But I'm still really conservative with my money so saving has been going really well. If only I wasn't afraid to spend it.
And another thing I need to spend money on is moving out. boy howdy.
I've also been going to school. I'm a senior and I might graduate this year. I need sixteen more credits to graduate (after this quarter).
I've FINALLY got into a figure drawing class. It's my first one ever. It's really fun.
I like that know one in the class, mostly, doesn't know my art. I feel very free to experiment and distort what I want.
I'm also in a pottery class which is very hard and frustrating. I feel like I'm the worst thrower in the class and it doesn't feel good.
I just don't seem to get the movements. Which is annoying since I get a lot of the movements in my Afro-Brazilian dance class.
This class is the highlight of my week even though it makes my weekends sore. We dance to live drums which makes it better imho.
My classmates are all fearless and I feel so comfortable dancing and messing up around them. And I'm still taking Japanese.
If that's something people knew??? I'm definitely not confident to speak it outside of class but at least I'm learning? eh?
I made a lot of New Years resolutions. My most important resolution was to draw everyday.
I've broken down the resolution into rules:
no pencil
at least two colors
image must relate to the day (activities, emotions, etc)
must be drawn before bed (no exceptions)
So far I haven't missed a day, even when I was drunk and almost asleep. Hahaha. It's been a fun challenge.
I'm not going to upload any one it until maybe the end of each month? I can release the images in a sort of free package?
Idk, gotta think about it. I've haven't been thinking about commissions either. I know I need to reorganize everything.
IF anyone was interested it'd be more on a quota/name your price sorta deal?
ANYWAYS THIS IS VERY LONG
THANKS FOR ENDURING IT ALL.
LOVES AND HIGH FIVES
