It's nothing spectacular, just a sketch; but it is taking me longer than one sitting to do, meaning I am both out of practice, and it's somewhat involved.

Not much time for anything lately. But it felt nice to at least tool around with a pencil again.

What? Things?!

1 min read
Today I drew, or started to draw at least six things. And I have things I must do by the end of the week or so, so that mean in the next few days, I will be submitting actual stuff. If you like Digimon, Mythology, potential comics, and heroes, you may be in luck.

Life has been pretty rocky lately, and though in a few months my free time will be drained, I am feeling more positive than I have in probably almost a year at this point. This can only mean good things for submissions here.

Hey. Though none of the people who have done so have watched me, I would like to thank everyone who favourited my work in the last few months. Normally I try to take the time to thank everyone personally, but things sorta started adding up, so I am doing a bigger collective thank you message now. Sorry about that. I will say though, anyone who ever takes the time to comment will get a full response no matter how many I have or how busy I may be.

And speaking of that, my school year ends on Monday, so new work should be coming soon. Horray!

That's all for now.

Hmmm

I looked everywhere for my sketchbook today, cleaned up the war zone of a room/apartment I have in order to find it. Turns out it was about 2 feet next to my computer. At least I got a bit of cleaning done; though I realized I have almost completely run out of bookshelf.

So, I was looking for my sketchbook so I could post some things here, as I haven't done that in forever.

Turns out, I have nothing I am proud enough to upload. University has been the worst thing for my "mundane" artistic development possible. My technical skills haven't improved at all, and though my critical thinking levels are over nine thousand, my ability to draw almost anything has been sapped away like some sort of cosmic leech seed.

I am definitely the "teacher type" it seems. I was having a few doubts, but last week I had this somewhat epic conversation with a few people about careers in art, like the cool comic-concept art-anime-cartoon style art. I discovered two things in this conversation.

1. I love advising. I love telling people about their possibilities, and what they can achieve. I love showing people their strengths and weaknesses, their advantages and disadvantages moving forward. I love inspiring others, and letting them know things are not hopeless even if you're not a born or even trained genius. I love all of it.

2. I am wasting my potential. One of my best friends once told me, in a very emotional atmosphere that it would "be a shame if I never got famous." I don't want to be famous, but I was flattered. Last week during the end of that conversation I mentioned, someone told me "Why don't you draw for a living?"


Well, I can answer that. I love drawing, I love comics and related things, I love sculpting crazy things and I hope to love action figure customizing in the future. But I love the idea of having a secure and happy family in the future more. And as said above, I love teaching. Teaching and stable income just happen to line up. That being said, it has become clear that I should probably try to do more with drawing, comics, etc. Aside from school, one thing that always held me back was the fear of someone stealing my ideas. Ive moved past that now. I recently heard the advice of that if you want to start a web comic, don't wait until you're good enough, just do it.

Web comics are such a cluttered and full field... but I am starting to think that I should. Or maybe even normal print comics. Some people at anime club are planning something, I hope to be involved; but personally I have to do something. Something may have to wait until I graduate, or it'll at least be slow and tiny before then... but teacher's college next year or not, I have to do something or sacrifice a pretty important part of me that I really tend to like.


In short: I hope I draw more soon.
