Hello people!

I've been trying to get back into art lately, which is a lot of fun :). I've been working full time with potatoes and strawberries, and during the weekends I'm often working at a garden center or some times with the pigs. Needless to say, I got a lot on my hands :p.


Watercolor Wednesday

What happened? I'm not uploading as much of that anymore! Well.. I moved houses and those tools are still mostly in boxes somewhere. Who knew unpacking would take more than a month? I still want to give this a go though.


Swords and Dagger

Remember my comic project that nobody cared about? My brain isn't letting it go and Hot Damn have I planned a lot. I'm rewriting the whole story and have so so much in store for some of the characters, but only a rough main story. I'm also giving all my characters a redesign. I'm hoping to start this project next year :)


Illustrations

I'm working on a big one. Maybe a little too big for my laptop as Photoshop keeps choking, haha XD. It's fun to be back to projects like this. I've missed working like this. Fingers crossed that I'll be able to finish this current project next week, and then maybe start a new one for november, unless I'm doing HUEVEMBER :D (I'm so exited, even though I have no ideas yet).


I hope you are all doing ok :)

College is done, and I’ll soon be moving to a bigger house. Finally some positive changes. I started working at a pig farm too, although not full time.
I’m planning to get more into art again :).
 
Watercolor Wednesday
I’m starting a new habit. If I have the time and will on Wednesdays I’m going to do some watercolor doodles. This is both to get comfortable with “wasting” art-supplies and to get more skilled with watercolors. 

Other projects
Mer-may didn’t go as planned, but I kind of expected that. Although monthly challenges sound like a lot of fun, I don’t think I’m ready for those yet. At least not with migraines and chores standing in the way. I do have a few bigger pieces in the works though and I’m looking forwards to submerging myself in them like in the olden days. Hoping to make something really neat soon :D.

MerMay 2019

I'm going to give MerMay a go this year :D. MerMay was started by Tom Bancroft a few years back. Read more about it here: www.mermay.com/ (See also the officialy promt there).

This is my personal promt, but I decided to make it public, so you can join in if you want to :)

I'm suspecting I'll fail miserably by the middle, and get a bit frustrated, but so far I'm looking forwards to it :eager: by darkmoon3636

God damn it!

Seems like my wrist can't handle anything any more. I recently started doing some Yoga again for mind and body and the pain on some poses just gets so intense. It sometimes even hurts for days! This is no good combination when doing faery feb/faebruary/fairie february. I really want to do more art.. My wrist just doesn't agree. I'm still going to do it. I just won't get upset when I can't do all days.

Adding to my ever growing pile of projects, that most people know nothing about.. I’m doing witchsona week :D, which is actually just going to be just one illustration of a new witch character that will be just roughly based on what I could have been if I was a witch rather than a proper “sona” and I’m going to do some artwork for my big presentation in April, or was it May.. (my bachelors thesis) I’m not sure. I’ll get a reminder when it’s close enough :).

I’m also doing mer-may, which I’m getting exited about (already doing mermaid doodles). And I got a few other projects that I’ll get to eventually as well.

Ooh, but first there is faerie-feb, or faerie february that I want to do. I'm going to do 1 fairy a day, but I think I'll stick to one upload a week, and I'll give each week a theme. Like jobs, flowers, berries/fruit and elements :)

I really hope I’ll get to do more art this year :)
