What's Going On

Back to drawing

I've been lowkey avoiding drawing. The context switching is a lot, so I've been putting off a lot of commissions.

But I have to say that once I got to it, I'm pretty darn happy with how they turned out! Especially this one

This one was nice too. Practicing those lasso tool skills

This one was for myself. From a photo of when I climbed a mountain

Concaly

Idk if I mentioned earlier but I got 1 enthusiastic user! So at least that's encouraging

Mudboard

I'm pretty happy with how this is turning out. I'm starting to use to reference things for my own projects

This project is not as big as concaly, but just more complicated.....cause images are a pain, and building an adjustable grid is also hard.

I finally moved it to it's own link: https://www.mudboard.com/

Planning to "launch" this one June 6th.


What I've been thinking about

This past weekend was rather nice. Got to see some friends, clean my room and hang out with my loser sister.

I've been going full speed these past like 2 months and was getting pretty darn tired.....so I'm happy I had the self restraint to rest.


Thank you!

Next Newsletter June 11th!

Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 126 [GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going On My own website I made my portfolio finally lol. It's not really targeted for work, but the structure resonated with me.
