Hello and welcome to another post of LLG! Today we are going to talk about some things like my schedule and how it will effect posts and updates to my blog and Book. I also want to bring up a new method to try and improve my art skills ( I swear I haven't been slacking despite the lack of posts and content...) so lets get started.
First let's start on one of the more interesting parts of today's post. So recently I've trying to use more orthodox methods of art practice such as purchasing the book I did earlier this summer and now using a doll in order to have a mold able pose reference. It is a really good practice and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone trying to get into art but there was one thing I just noticed.
This is a drawing I did quiet a while back and shared on this blog. This was done within the first month of me practicing and beginning of this blog.
This is a drawing done just this weekend almost a year later from the other drawing and is a sketch of the model at the very top of the page. I know its a bit hard to see but comparing the two I can't help but feel like despite the year of practice, studying of techniques and the guide that my skills as an artist are not getting better but rather worse. This does scare me a bit but by no means does it mean I'm going to stop drawing. It just means that I'm going to have to try and figure what works more and follow it and make sure to make time to draw as much as possible ( although finding the ideas and energy are the hard part..).
Anyways that was just the art topics I wanted to bring up in today's post. the next is a bit more happier and isn't about art. So for most of you out there in the U.S. are still in your summer period but as a band student or anyone in a very competitive school activity would tell you that their summer period has ended most likely. This is the very same case for me and having to practicing might drain me a bit. Keyword is " might " as last year I blogged no problem and with practice already starting I am still able to post and have energy so even though this post is a little late don't expect too many delays. However I've really been needing to edit the chapters already written in my book and begin writing the new ones which may be an entirely different story. For those of you who don't know I've started writing a book series on the site Wattpad and in excitement and anticipation of lack of energy and time I wrote the first chapter in an hour and the next 4 chapters the night of that day... That being said much editing must be done to many of those chapters. Also, What made me want to write the story was that I was getting a little tired on waiting on my art skills to make my story idea into a comic series like a friend of mine has done on Tapastic here " https://tapas.io/series/A-Problem-of-Personhood " ( hopefully they won't get made at me for posting the link to their comic in my blog with like 10 viewers...) and its been a good year that I've had the idea for the story so I decided to make it a book here. If you'd like to check it out and give me some things to edit then follow the link to the book here https://www.wattpad.com/story/116417302-the-fates-that-bind-us. I will take any advice other than major changes to characters and story but minor ones are good and things like grammar, word use, diction, etc. are un questionably welcomed. That's all for today's post so till next post I'll see Ya'll later!
