@Purpsy: Oh good - I'm glad you're going to give it another shot! I have to treat the tablet sketches as something other than "my usual" or I would get really frustrated. I also have to remember to use multiple layers so that I have more options in terms of "erasing" and moving things around - might as well take advantage of the digital aspects, right? I can't really post this when I'm done with it since it's for the Secret Art Exchange and depending on how things go, I may not ever post it -lol- but so far, so good? I owe 0v7 some art too, so maybe I'll work on that too, if my time and patience (lol!) allow.

@Wildfire: I should have done that!! I just had no idea he would commit a Crime for two squeaky balls lmao. My mum took them off him to rewrap and he is not happy XD darn dog!

I am pleased they're still taking appointments. I mean, I'm almost 29 and I'm not getting any younger.... I already feel like all my friends have finished having kids. How old were you when you had your boys? (If you don't mind me asking!)

@sunny: Doggie Crime! LOL!! :3 The power of the squeaky is strong with that one! XD
I'm sure he'll be happy to get the toys again in a couple of days.

Having kids is not something to rush, imo. I think some people rush in to having kids and a family because they feel like they "should" or it's the "next step" - but it really is a life-changing thing to do... for you and for them. If and when you're ready for kids, you'll know it. And if you don't mind my saying so, you seem to know it and be ready to take that step. :3 <3

@Purpsy: How goes the digital art? I'm in one of those weird stages where I don't like the coloring I've done but know it's mid-process. I'm not ready to give up on it just yet but am not sure how this is going to turn out at this point. But I may be "trying too hard" too. I'm better when I'm looser and sketchier. The coloring seems to get me all the time! Ugh. .... I'm going to try something different, actually - still use the same base sketch but ... yeah, let's try this. :3

@Wildfire: you make a lot of good points! Thank you <3 I definitely feel I am ready, or as ready as anyone can be. I am trying to prepare myself in various different ways, but mostly I'm aware that my entire life will be up heaved! In a good way! I am ready for that!

@sunny: Yes, your life will definitely change - in ways that you can't anticipate, and even once you're over the initial shock, it constantly changes because the kids and their stages of life constantly changes. It's a wild ride... LOL!

@Purpsy: Oh good - I'm glad you got a rough sketch done at least. Are you feeling better about the digital art?






Report

Voltie Posted 3 years ago ( 2020/12/22 21:16:04 )


@Wildfire: Yup.
Maybe I was taking it too seriously earlier which gave me a hard time.
Plus I was listening to some cheerful Christmas music which helps also.

How's your drawing so far?

Voltie Posted 3 years ago ( 2020/12/22 21:20:48 )
@Purpsy: Yes, I find I have to be in just the right mood and not take the digital stuff too seriously. It's definitely a "trust the process" type thing - lol! I think my drawing is done, actually. It could use more tweaking and stuff but that's probably my "serious" side coming out so it's time for me to wrap it up and go on to do something else now.

I'm glad you seem to feel better about the digital art now. Do you like how it's coming out?

@Wildfire: Yeah I can be impatient often so I was rushing the process earlier.
I'll start the actual sketch later cause I need a break. And I love it! I was surprised it turned out fairly well.

@Purpsy: Oh, I know that feeling - I always want to rush it too, which does not end well - lol!

@Purpsy: LOL - thanks. It's right on my personal edge between comfortable and cool, so it's hard to tell whether I should put on shorts or a hoodie - lol!

If I went out with a hoodie and shorts I would freeze to death, there isn't a whole lot of snow outside right now and I'm grateful for that but it's still REALLY cold. Also I just got new glasses and I'm an happy about that. :)

Yeah, it's 66 or so *F here, so no freezing for us!
I'm back from the walk.

I want to start exercising but with how cold it is outside I do not want to go out and I don't want to pay money for a gym membership.

I usually only check this site like once or twice a day so it might take me a bit to respond.

Currently recovering from large amounts of PTSD. I'll post when I can, please ping for replies. Things are very difficult for me right now.

@Evilcupcakecat: That's understandable. I personally don't like the gym much as a general rule, but it can be hard to self-motivate sometimes - especially when the weather doesn't want to cooperate. What kind of outside exercising do you usually do when the weather isn't trying to freeze you?

@shadami: I need to start yoga again too. It has been far too long since I've done a class. Do you usually go to a gym or yoga studio, or follow a video in your house?
