New year, new goals
8 years ago
It's 2018! Happy New year!
I have come a long, long way in the past year. Literally and figurtively. I moved from Oregon to Wyoming, I started fresh in a completely new place, in a completely new environment.. and had no idea how that would turn out.
Several months later, I somehow got commissioned to do more wood carvings, and got a lot more experience doing that. There's been a lot of ups and downs, but for everything else that went wrong in 2017, a lot more has happened that has given me experiences that have helped to better myself as a person and as an artist.
This year, I want to focus on producing a lot more artwork, and push myself to be better and faster at drawing and painting. I've now given myself a dedicated work space, upgraded my monitor from 15" to 25" which is making a HUGE difference in my drawing speed already. In a few days, I'll be getting a mounting bracket to mount it to the wall, which will also help make my workspace that much more efficient.
I still have a lot to do, to make this the workspace I want, but it's definitely a start. 2018 I'll be kicking things up into overdrive.
My new years resolution is to draw "something" every day. So far, I'm doing it, and I plan to continue. I know that even attempting to do this will help me get better and faster at making art. I feel really positive about this, and I'm excited to see what the year will bring.
It feels like the year ahead will be one full of blessings. :3
