I'm honestly impressed by how well I did on my latest piece. I think I'm finally figuring out how to 'polish' my art. That's always been something I struggle with - things feeling too flat or dull or stiff. It's my main insecurity with drawing, and I think it's because of coloring + shading being my weak spot. My lines are mostly smooth (despite having terrible hand tremors) but my coloring isn't very good. But.. I think I'm finally getting it. I mean, compared to my old art, whether 1 year ago or 5 years ago, it's a huge improvement in the overall quality. Feeling like I'm finally improving makes me want to draw LOTS more, and I don't have terrible tablet errors on my new PC so I can easily just pick up and draw. Yay!
I've been out of order in drawing for a while until recently. I went to see my family on Christmas and got horrendously sick. I had to go to the ER, which was also terrible. The doctors messed up my IV and ended up injecting fluid into my ARM, like the muscle + fat of my arm, rather than my vein. You can imagine just how painful that is. I have some past issues with medical stuff so it set me off on a terrible path for a few weeks. And once I felt better.. family drama. Because my parents love to try to ruin my life even when I'm 1000 miles away and an adult who can make her own decisions. They finally settled down like last week and I've been feeling much better. I'll be practicing my art LOTS LOTS LOTS so expect somewhat frequent uploads. Think I may open a free YCH raffle soon as well so I can draw someone else's character as practice, always drawing my own is great BUT I would love to draw someone else.
Enough rambling on my part, I'm super proud of this piece and I'll be uploading much more frequently from now on. I'll try to make a price sheet for commissions when I feel more confident with my art and have some more examples. They're still open and all, I just don't have a formal announcement or price sheet or whatever.
I said enough rambling and there I go again..
