Overall Update

Hey there!
'Small' Overall Update about a good amount of stuff.
I have been doing great lately: new approach to my current job helped me relax a bit more and fell less stressed. Still going once in a while to the pool to get rid of all that physical energy helps a lot too. And I have went back to drawing in general. As you may have seen, I have improved. I am mainly working on the basics right now, like gesture drawing, body shapes, etc... because I feel this is what I should be doing. I even purchased my own personal tablet (an Intuos Pro M. It's awesome, really!). Also, I found a new flatshare a few weeks ago, and I'm moving out next weekend, or at worst, the weekend after it.
So you might say that everything is pretty much greenlight. Yeah, pretty much. Still not feeling too well about streaming during the week however, especially as I will be back to the normal working schedule in the next following weeks.
The main reason I have been able to make so many pieces in such a short amount of time (roughly 1 per week or so) and stream very often was because of the way the month of May works here in France: lots of Holidays everywhere during it, so work weeks were short and it was easier to stream in general. But I do not think that my job will allow me to stream during most evenings. Maybe once in a while, but for now I'll mostly try to stream during weekends.
Making a lot of rough sketches in my drawing book today though. It's been a while since I have not done that, and it certainly feels rewarding in a way. Drawing with a normal pencil still feels more natural than my Wacom pen. I am trying to follow friends' advices. Dunno if I will show it to my RL relatives now however: I just made a NSFW furry sketch XD.
Er, looks like I just wrote a big wall with no common thread in it. All in all, I would say that the last two months have been awesome, and a lot of people from the community played a part in it, however small it might have been. I would like to be able to say that it may have been a big step forward, but it would feel like jixing it. So I am goingto be patient and keep doing my thing for the next few months and see how it goes...
