a day in my life as of the past and coming two weeks:
i hate it when i have all the motivation in the world to work, but my hand just can’t continue. i sometimes worry that i could be developing carpal tunnel, but i think it’s just a good old fashioned cramp from holding a tablet pen with a death grip all day. curse the hard, burdensome life of a digital painter! agh!!
i wanted to doodle something for here but i DON’T HAVE THE TIME! i’m too busy this week with:
i’ll see if i can squeeze a drawing in here or there, but it won’t be today ♡
interesting…

a sketch of Precious Ramotswe from The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. It’s a great show, watch it if you get the chance!
i haven’t updated a lot here lately, i think because i just have an overload of accounts online that i want to keep up to date. a list:
i emptied out my cgsociety account, realizing that i will never get around to updating it ever again, and am considering doing the same to my behance portfolio… one thing is for sure: i need to simplify and streamline everything! i was thinking of getting rid of my tumblr, but decided against it - i have almost 10,000 followers here! which is just awesome, especially considering how little i’ve been updating. so i just need to get back at it. it’s just unfortunate that i can’t seem to find an option to import RSS (from my sketchblog) regularly into my tumblr anymore. why has this changed??
anyways, i’ve decided to just simplify the tumblr blog to four basic categories - my art, progress pics, news & updates and some random stuff on the side. i think that will make it easier for me to update this blog and keep it more centered around the idea of posting my artwork and things related to that.
long story short: i have returned!
