Today is the first of May. New month, not so new me. At least it's an off day. My plan was to stay in bed for a bit, write some, and then draw, but I think what I'm going to do is spend today working on my game. I have started from scratch again recently, and for the first time have built up a system that not only actually works reliably, but is both easy and kinda fun to interact with.
I've also been doing some cartooning recently. I know that this might basically be cursing in a more anime-oriented space, but honestly I've been having a lot of fun with it. Everything I make is terrible. But it's been a little less terrible every time.
There's also no rush for it on my end. I'm not planning on "Oh, I wanna learn this this year", it's just something I have been doing for me, and I think that helps keep it fresh.
If I can eventually draw some of the characters I have in my head, that would be a great win for me, no matter what style I eventually end up settling on.
@ChiralTheAlien I (software engineer in another life) was working with an artist on an interactive exhibit. It involved some illustrations, and we were talking style.
She's pulling down illustration books and saying "this style? Or maybe this one?"
I was boggled - she could look at a drawing in any style and just do it. It was so cool.
@trans_rescue Yeah, wow, I can imagine. The amount of skill and effort that some people bring to the table, it truly is amazing. And then they make it look easy, too! You can't help but be awe-struck.
