@Wildfire: Sounds like you have a good day ahead of you. :3

I didn't get sleep last night. Baby decided that's when he should cry. My daughter is still sick with a minor cold. I just keep watching her rub her nose and then touch stuff. Normally that doesn't phase me a whole lot. Germs are germs.
Now I'm just waiting for my older son to get sick. XD then my husband and then me. Per usual.
I'm just finishing this month's finances today and sorting the stack of mail that I haven't touched since I left the household over a month ago.

@Wildfire: at this point im just trying to paint. lol since I'm tired of my simplistic style.

just figured clouds because I don't know how to paint them. and want to improve. this piece is mostly to improve certain aspects of my art.
I don't know how to paint 90% of things
and nothing else really makes sense with this piece also.

@Koah: yeah, that's the typical pattern, it seems. Kid gets something because it's a new bug for them...shares it around a bit... mom gets it last because she's eventually worn out from caring for everyone else XD I'm glad it's just a minor cold, but still, being sick isn't any fun and I wish you all the best of luck dealing with it.

It was nice to see my friends, and to help the one out a bit with stuff she can't really do at this point (she's dealing with breast cancer). We don't see her nearly often enough. And, because this is where my youngest has been spending a lot of his time, helping out with their farm, I got to see him a little bit too. So that was a nice bonus.

Today... well, we'll see whether or not I get in the garden. It's 8am here now but I'm tired. I got a second wind after coming home after visiting with people and was up too late, then woke up earlier than usual, so I only got about 4 hours of sleep. Although sometimes that's a functional amount of sleep for me, I'm not feeling it today so far. I'm already on my 2nd cup of coffee and am wondering if I shouldn't just go back to bed and get more sleep. :/

@MoodyB: lol. Ok. So, define "paint" for me...? Are you trying to break out of the anime/manga idea, or are you trying to work on backgrounds for your figures, or are you trying to go a more traditional route or style?

A piece doesn't have to make sense for it to be a good experience or process. A piece also doesn't need to turn out to be much of anything (something "finished") for it to be worthwhile. I'm glad you're experimenting and trying to broaden your horizons. :3




Good morning everyone How are you?

@Wildfire: i can only do simple backgrounds. so i am trying to get better at painting environments so my art feels more complete.
i can draw clouds and that is about it.
just comes out very basic and my brain needs more of a challenge.

I know it doesn't have to make sense. But since it's art f my OC I'm trying to make it make sense with her and her overall storyline. kinda like story telling with art.

@MoodyB: Yup - I get it and it's awesome that you're thinking like that and trying to improve your abilities with specific areas of your pieces and specific types of things to build that entire storyline :3 How's it going? Are you happy with your progress so far?

.......................... and Good Morning, everyone.

How are you today so far? Are you ready for the weekend? Do you have anything fun or interesting planned?

I have a couple errands to run today and some cleaning up of the house to do. I'll check on the garden, of course, and maybe do some laundry today as well. Tomorrow, I'm supposed to meet up with one friend to collaborate on a creative project and then we were invited to a graduation party for some other friends' newly-minted young adult. I'm not entirely sure what Sunday has in store yet. I'll probably collapse on the couch or in a hammock outside if it's not completely humid and hot - LOL! XD

◦✹ @Wildfire: Well it was a good day yesterday for being unproductive xD
Idk how... but once you read several books on wattpad I ended up super into it the rest of the day... fell a sleep fairly late for it too x.x

How's your garden coming along? :3
Honestly is been so nice and warm lately I've been drawing flowers on my spare time this week. ✹◦

@Wildfire: Yeah! When i experiment with new things i tend to use a specific OC.
just so i don't get overwhelmed.

I do like it so far.
I'm trying to do better with my lighting so the progress i think is going well.
the clouds in the BG won't stay like that. I just used a smoke texture brush just to figure out the palette.
[OC Art]

I started going in with paingint clouds with a hard brush so will be just kinda sorting out
the clouds and the sky peaking through. I didn't want the clouds super detailed but look good within my art style.

@Purpsy: I'm glad you've been able to rest, relax and do some fun drawings of flowers. There's something very relaxing about flower drawings, imo :3


@MoodyB: oh, that's cute! :3 It's very light and airy and it's definitely building a story through your illustration

<----------- mine. Yes, it feels like one of those days today so far for some unknown reason. I was quite busy yesterday, but not that busy... yet I feel slightly run over by a truck!

For you guys ------------>

What are your plans for the day today?
I need to spend a little time in the garden - I'm sure it needs a good watering, especially the areas I planted seeds recently. I have a book to find and download for book club (that meets in about a week and a half - lol), laundry to do, cooking to do, I really should vacuum too... and I'm stopping there before the list gets too long and I end up crawling back in to bed instead of doing any of it! XD

@Wildfire: its slowly coming together lol.
But i am happy with it. just need to flesh out the clouds in my style and attempt hair.
so far, hair is my biggest issue when it comes to digital painting lol.
since there are so many ways to paint it.

@MoodyB: that's true of every media... you just need to find your own style, and it sounds like that's exactly what you're working on doing. I'm sure you'll figure out the details with time and more experience/trial-and-error :3




Good morning.

Did anyone see the lunar eclipse last night? It was a very full, bright moon and a full, red ("blood") eclipse. It was pretty phenomenal, imo...
