Thursday Art Walk... ON FRIDAY!

 

In Which I've Done An Art (Hopefully Correctly)

Thursday was... a lot. The cat tried to be sus and get into the vent (I don't play that Among Us game, I just know that lingo because Twitter exists lol), the microwave's turntable is breaking down, and we got some bad news from a family member today. All of this is on top of my concentration being completely gone and my plans for Thursday all scattered like so many small birds...

It was, in short, not a great day to be trying over with the Block Art.

But I still did it!

"Squares 2.0"; digital art; 2022

YES! IT IS CRISP! IT IS SQUARE! IT IS HIP!

To me, this almost looks like some sort of blurred out photograph, maybe of someone dancing in a park! I really should try to refine a palette next time, but going for full random on Coolors.co was fun, so I'll look through their pre-generated palettes for inspiration. And it does set up a few more options for art in the future!

Pixel Art, here I come!

So yes, this went up on Friday instead of Thursday, and not for particularly great reasons. I really want to find out if I can add brush packs to Paint.net, too, because only having round brushes is the butts. Gimme some squares, guys. Or at least make it easier for me to figure out how to make squares without having to overuse Copy/Paste. My poor Ctrl, C, and V buttons are getting finnicky.

So yes, we have our first 100% success on Paint.net!

I'm gonna go to bed, because it's past 2AM and I am pooped.

Go Enjoy Something!

Update: I fell asleep for like an hour before I added the link and now I'm posting this at half past 3 lol!

Thursday Art Walk

 

Guess Who Forgot To Post Until Midnight Again?!

I have no excuse. Today wasn't even that hot - it never got above 75℉ (23.9℃) outside, was barely sunny, and never got above 80℉ (26.7℃) in the house. I just... never got around to posting. I didn't even get around to sketching today. It was a very hard-to-focus kind of day.

I lost track of time, conversations, random crap around the house, and I spent three minutes looking for my razor in the shower when I was holding it in my other hand. It's just... it's been that kind of day.

So sorry it took me so long to post!

But I do have at least one image for this week:

"Misty Afternoon 1"; watercolor on watercolor paper; 2021

For having limited lighting, no plan, and having completely forgotten my techniques, I'm pretty okay with how this little waterdoodle came out! I'll be doing other landscapes and hopefully a cityscape some time (hmmm... violet does make a very nice sky, especially when it fades to rose...) - and I have some killer sketch ideas thanks to some friends of mine!

Now, just so I don't keep harping on how much I suck I want to immortalize the few things I did manage to do today, focus be damned.

• I managed my first attempt at darning (which I'll show off next Monday I think...)
• I unraveled two failed crochet projects and started another new one
• I learned about the Colosseum in Rome!
• I dug up my favorite summer top!
• I put away two more skeins of yarn
• I obtained a new skein of very pretty cotton yarn
• I finally detangled one of my Big Spools of cotton thread
• Came up with an idea to draw each of my OC Trainers & their starters... Haven't thought about Flare (Crystal) and Sabore (Red) in literal years. Mick (GO!) I see regularly, and I don't even remember what I named my poor Y trainer. I think my Moon trainer is named Haku... Anywho, I'll try to remember everything and throw them onto a page. May have to include a new OC I've been thinking of, too. I'll have to figure out how to draw tattoos though... And Porygon.
• Also dug up some capris I'll probably need tomorrow (if I don't need pants - I heard it might be something ridiculous like 58℉ (14.4℃) somehow!)

That looks... like rather a lot, to be honest.

No wonder I'm tired.

That and it's technically Friday...

Oops!

Well, that'll do it from me for now...

So Go Enjoy Something!
