So tomorrow I will have my very last paid vacation, 4 weeks.
Three of them I will spend at my summer vacation spot, where I will probably be building houses and hopefully fishing.
I sure look forward to coming away from the big city, although I will be cut off from my computer.
But, I sure am personally happy that I managed to finish my summer vacation picture for 2017 in time before the vacation!
I almost thought that it would not be completed, but... It's finished and it feels like a great weight has been lifted off my chest.
Since I will be without my computer I will not be able to produce anything while away, but I will bring paper and pencils with me.
I have also invested in three different 'how to draw manga' books which I will look through, seeing if I could learn anything new.
Also, when I get home the fourth week of my vacation when I am reunited with my computer I will do some 'research' as I will call it.
I will attempt to analyze what other artists are doing to solve some design issues in their pictures and see if there is anything I can learn from that.
Personally I am worried since it may cause me to drift away from my style and may even change the way I go about my pictures how they are made.
As I said, research, hopefully nothing more than that. One thing is clear though, movement and characters 'doing something' is something I need to do more of.
I should also look up clear facial expressions, since it is quite an important part of a drawing (if you include it that is).
Anyway, thats me rambling (as usual).
Today I'd like to share another retrowave song. Coming from NewRetroWave's new album 'Magnatron 2.0' and the first song of the album is a BLAST;
PS:
And I will try to avoid ending up in the hospital like last year, one time is enough thank you.
