March Recap

General
I'll start this one off by saying the virus hasn't really affected me or anybody close to me in any significant way so far, so everything's okay for me for now on that front.
I managed to finish 2 pieces of art this month which I've uploaded, and made good progress on another. I also kicked around a character design for a bit but haven't yet put too much energy into it. The piece I'm working on now feels like it just won't quit though. Every time I think I'm getting close to finishing it I see or change something that leads me into re-working or redoing large areas of it. I'm way past the point of thinking the end result will be at all worth all the time and effort, but I'm going to finish it eventually even if it takes me a year.
I'm also still slowly working through Marco Bucci's "Digital Painting II", but I've been neglecting that gesture drawing course and drawabox.com for a while and drawing in general as well. I've been spending all my effort trying to finish this digital piece and haven't really been sketching anything.
Lastly I finally replaced my really old and crusty TN panel monitor with a (hopefully) properly calibrated IPS panel display. The colors and viewing angles on that old monitor were really bad, even for a TN panel, so having a nice display with the extra bump in resolution is a nice quality of life improvement.
That's all from me this month, it was pretty uneventful. I hope you're all staying safe and healthy out there. Peace.
