The Update that No One Asked For!
So, the internet’s back.  More or less.  Yay internet!  It was out for around a week, but by then I was already out of the habit of posting stuff.  Whoops.  I’m going to try and start posting things again. Â
I’m still working on Loomis, although I’m not doing it daily.  Which I definitely should be.  I’m a musician, I should be capable of grasping the importance of daily practice if I want to improve at something... :-) Â
I got some new watercolor stuff!  I’m super geeked about it!  Watercolor is fun!  I might do a post about it, just because it makes me happy :-)  I tried messing around with colored pencils, but I just sort of instinctively like watercolor better, so I think I’ll stick with that for the time being.  Pencil drawing and watercolor seems like enough to be getting on with for learning basics like I am.  I’m starting to get a better feel for how they behave, which translates to better control, which is always a plus.  Still very much enjoying it, so that’s really the bottom line :-)Â
Also, starting to get back into my fountain pens more.  Since school ended, I haven’t needed to make up my “daily sheets” (literally a page I make up each day for planning stuff).  Since those pages were my primary use for my pens, I haven’t been using them as much :-( But I like sketching with them, and journaling, so that’s a plus :-)Â
