This summer is kind of a weird phase for me because I'm in a sort of testing phase. I'm trying things out. I've finally found a way of organising my things that sort of agrees with my brain, and I'm starting to be a little more consistent in my things. I'm still in a testing period, not just with my art and projects, but also in my personal mental health. some days I'm super productive and focused, but still eat and sleep... other days, I get sucked in one project and work on it till I'm physically unable to continue, and still other days, I'm just completely unable to work on anything at all for no apparent reason.
So anyway, This summer I mostly focused on my comic and on improving my productivity and stuff.
In May I did this piece for a contest by Jazza on youtube, maybe you know him, if not check him out, he's got awesome stuff. The contest theme was traditional vs digital art. This theme sparked this image of Da Vinci really enjoying modern technology. He was an inventor, so I think he'd really like digital painting. Of course, I had to shoehorn the Doctor in there, how else would Da Vinci get his hands on some modern tech? Plus I bet they're great friends eheh.
On the 18th of May 2017, Jacques Fresco died at 101 years old. The man was a big inspiration for my webcomic, and so I did this small water colour portrait, slightly stylized. His project (the Venus project, look it up) really inspired my world building in my webcomic. I even decided to add a "in memory of" page in my webcomic.
In June, I did the re-release of my webcomic, with the first page and I also made this little phone case for my friend.
In July, I Finished this piece in time for my mother's birthday. That's her as a proud Hufflepuff with her dolphin Patronus.
And for my own birthday, I did a cute little poster, and kimmykunkun drew a little something for my birthday, so go check it out on her page
And that's about it. I haven't finished anything in August. I mostly worked on the script for my webcomic, the drawings etc. Here are a few little previews of the things I've been working on.
Hello Internets!
So, I've been going through this weird phase. It's not quite an art block... more like a digital art block.
Basically I can draw fine with traditional media (except paint.. I'm blocking on this one too), but as soon as I try to do something digital... It's just not working.
And it's a big problem for my webcomic, since it's all digital. I don't really want to do it traditional until i get out of my funk, because I already started it digital and to have a weird part with traditional pages and then go back to digital... I'm just not okay with that.
So I'm unfortunately sitting it out until I can draw digital again. And it's not like I haven't been doing anything. I've been trying again and again to draw the same page... with no success. I'll keep trying though.
In the meantime, I'll still be releasing some of my other stuff I've been doing (Tumblr, Deviantart and my blogsite) and I'll try to be less picky about my art and post even some of the ugly sketches that shouldn't see the light.
Anyway, Ciao!
