floating dot exercise

not much of note. just trying to think things through, plan, and execute accordingly 

i will say that i am currently beefing with Lelouch vi Britannia

week of zooming out

figuratively and literally. don’t sweat the small stuff etc.

working on music 

deliberately trying to be better about planning so i can get ideas from thought to paper with more ease

week of using my eyes and ears

just doing some studying. gonna look through the real book and pick out some standards to learn. just keep on moving

trying to figure out the krita animation workspace. going to do something short. i could have used grease pencil but i wanted to try something new

week of touching grass

just getting my mileage up but also,, mileage on my feet. taking good walks and just getting outside

no super revelations, just some good ol fashioned doodling

mudbray is a very good pokemon

week of paint

been thinking of things in a bit of a chunkier way as of late. big shapes, making decisive marks (or trying). which has kind of pushed me towards gouache a bit. i still enjoy transparent media but it’s been easier to go back and change things or bring back highlights if i mess up. things along those lines. it feels like needed something supplemental for watercolor painting just because i’ve been having trouble getting my tones right consistently. gouache kind of helps with that i feel when i want do kind of sculpt and not sit down with so much planning. want to keep focusing on big picture and then working inward.

watching: more nana

a solid week

listening to music and looking at things :)

trying to get the pencils to work for me. it’s got me thinking about tones and the amount of time i spend shading means i can see things come together slowly
