Day 30
Today will be my last day for awhile - maybe forever?
I have suddenly become very busy in life. Which is a good thing as well as very intimidating. I am now taking a UX Design course, which I am will be taking classes every quarter in for about a year. I am also still creating work, recording while creating, editing videos and posting them on my YouTube account (check them out here.) I am also working on my Instagram game - posting everyday, interacting with other people and deciding the right hashtags is actually a bit of work.. surprisingly. I also have to get my Etsy shop a bit more together than it is and get things posted on there. I am currently working on some business cards, and thank you cards for a friend while updating the business cards and thank you cards for an other friend. I feel like I might be taking on a lot of things at once and I can’t decide if this is a good idea or not. But it is what it is, right? I am currently looking into taking some HTML and CSS classes too.
This is definitely the season of doing all the things.
ALSO - it is only Wednesday and I am book solid of things to do until Monday. Which is not usually how I operate. I don’t like to be personally and socially booked up like that because the breathing room helps me relax. It tends to make me a bit anxious when I don’t have a 5 hours stint open for me time. But this weekend is my best friends birthday, an other friend is coming up from Florida and I will be doing a photo shoot on Sunday.
I don’t even have any dog walks or long hikes scheduled! I hope I know what I am doing and that I am not overwhelming myself. I might have to look at what I can let go… so I’ve decided to let go of posting and drawing/sketching as much as possible like I have been. I feel like I should credit this with getting my creative juices going and my drive for doing all of this.
Day 29
Day 28
Just did a little study of crystals
Day 27
In process pattern
Day 26
Day 25
Day 24
Making all the patterns!
I feel like this one would be really beautiful subtle wrapping paper that would be printed on brown paper. I keep going back and forth on whether I want to add more details or something extra to this but for some reason I really dig how simple it is.
Day 23
I recently have started to work on patterns again! It has been even a few years since I’ve done any... so please bear with me on this one! Below you will see the detail of the pattern as well as how it looks when repeated. Of course, I did Halloween! It is the birthday of one of my favorite people on this planet, my favorite holiday and my favorite time of the year.
Day 22
Pretty sure I have finished the below coat of arms for my friend. I just have to add the last name and see if there are any other details my perfectionist self wants to add.
Day 21
This coat of arms I am making for my Granparents. I am not sold on the squirrel and cardinal, yet. The colors are based off the fact that my Grandpa’s birthday is on Halloween, my Grandma’s birthday is in December and Christmas is spent every year at their house.
Day 20
Pretty sure I should start charging for these... an other coat of arms I started to work on for a friend. I think it’s turning out pretty nicely! I feel like I’m getting really good at this.
Temporary Pause
I have to put the drawing a day on hold. I have been working on getting my Google Analytics Certification - which has turned out to be a bit more work than I anticipated. I have realized that I kind of turned off the part of my brain that studies without distraction once I graduated college! It took sometime to get that back but once I did, I really started enjoying it. Google Analytics is pretty interesting. So this plus the fact that I will be at a cabin with no WiFi or cell service.
I will be working on some Art with Nature pieces while at the cabin and recording/editing videos of my process. I can't wait to see how the videos turn out!
Day 18
I seem to be having a hard time finishing pieces. I keep just starting a new one!
Day 17
I started this one awhile back but I can’t decide if I like it so I stopped working on it.
Day 16
I switched back to the coat of arms, and started making one for my sister’s dog, Wallie. He is a chihuahua dachshund mix with too much energy and no cares in the world.
Day 15
I was thinking about the sketch I did yesterday based off of Jane Lane’s drawing.. she isn’t a really. A person, I get that. But her work is very unique, expressive and varies greatly. I would always look at the background in her room looking for the piece she was working on and think how cool it was. So I’ve decided that I might do a mini series of her work.
Day 14
Daria is definitely one of my favorite tv shows. I am really excited and yet a bit worried about the reboot. This drawing can be found in Jane Lane’s locker.
Day 13
Still working on Brooklyn’s coat of arms.
Day 12
Decided to draw something different
