a day in my life as of the past and coming two weeks:
- wake up absurdly early
- jog (training for a 5K!)
- go to my office, fuel myself with lots of strong coffee
- draw until hand can draw no more (literally)
- go home, collapse
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:
- being the art director of a soon-to-be-released motion comic at yellow submarine
- making artwork for a casual game about a badass female pirate
- making tutorials for a prestigious soon-to-be-published book (not my art book!)
- personifying ice cream flavors into charming female pinups for an amazing ice cream store
- planning a vacation to the beautiful island of corsica for the end of this month
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!
returning to tumblr
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:
- deviantart - the first place i post my work.
- twitter - where i want to keep people up to date on all of my online activity.
- facebook fanpage - same as above.
- sketchblog - where i post sketches and doodles.
- this page - where i post progress work and also use as a personal blog.
- behance - portfolio site that i haven’t updated in months!
- personal website - meant as a gallery, i don’t update it enough though.
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!
