@Eyli: I don't know why people have kids. It sounds like more trouble than its worth haha! But hey, as long as Mr. Eyliana is on the same page as you are with the kids!

Haha no, they life kind of far away so I don't see them that often. When they were younger we were the once to entertain them though so my aunt and uncle could talk with my parents. But that's not a full day of course

@Eyli: Have you tried borrowing them for at least a day? Like a full 24 hour kid marathon? Haha! Oh the thought of that happening to me scares the crap out of me!

@Art: What's your secret? Like they're out-cold by 9?

Well my kids are in bed by 9pm because they have school the next day - then I get my chores done - then I normally sit down at 10pm and do some art.

@Eyli: Do you have friends with kids? Nephews or nieces?

@Artloader: I don't know how you do it. But kids equals no 'me time'.

Heheh kids are great but they certainly don't make for a tranquil existence!

Haha, ja but it is worth it. At least that's what I think :p

But the energy you have to match them with? God it's draining..

Don't get me wrong, I love those two idiots!

@Eyli: Whenever my nephew and niece barges in, I have to really check myself before I lose it. I can't wait for them to reach a certain age when they know when to shut it! Haha!

You make do with less sleep!

And I guess it is easier once they grow up a bit

But John.. kids :o I mean kids :o

It's really remarkable for art people to have kids.. How can you deal with all the craziness! On top of your art thing!

@Eyliana: Thanks :) Thats the plan :).

It's also about building a routine - everyone else around me has gotten used to me sitting down at 10pm and drawing and they're either asleep or reading or something.

18 Jun 04:02

Eyliana

Hehe, I guess. And hopefully we will see awesome figures from you at the end of the year ;)

18 Jun 04:01

Heheh - just gotta keep a balance I guess :)

Young kids must be pretty tiresome! I'm impressed that you find time to draw anyways

Just hearing "young family", makes me feel burned out as well

Got a fulltime job and a young family to enjoy.

@John: Well I guess I would get so tired that I give up on it altogether - as well as be next to no use to the people around me as well!

@Artloader: What happens when you burn out?

18 Jun 03:54

Eyliana

--

Nopes.. just take it slowly, draw everyday and be consistent does a lot more in the end

18 Jun 03:54

Artloader

--

Thanks Eyliana :) Yeah time is precious I guess. Still I have to focus on the long term - going mad for a few weeks and then burning out isn't gonna help me get where I want to be.

18 Jun 03:51

Eyliana

Looks like a good plan Artloader :) And yeah the constraint of 1h and being in bed in time sucks.. I know the problem :o

Done it. Hopefully that should help me focus my studies better :).
