So where have I been?

Well, been where I've always been, really. I mentioned I wanted to do more experiments with pencils, and I did, but before I had gotten too far, all of the time that I had in front of my tablet during lockdown came to an end at the conclusion of March, and I found myself back in the office for 8 hours a day. While it's not an overly-strenuous job, it certainly takes up a lot of the mental energy I require to focus on my art and I found myself needing to depress at the end of the commute during weekdays. It was around that time that the weather was getting better, so my weekends were focused on getting outside and doing all the urban exploration I wanted to do while things were locked down.

Before I knew it, it was October and I hadn't really done much in terms of art in the past few months. Then the other guy at work quit so I had to take up part of his load and left me feeling even more burnt out than before, to the point where I came down with the first cold in like 3 years. Mercifully, not COVID, but it's just another "thing" sapping my energy.

Ultimately what I need to do is find a routine of doing at least some art exercises on a regular basis, just to keep in practice. I've picked up a couple art courses off Gumroad to keep me motivated and working, so I hope to be delivering a little more artwork in the new year.
