Art Loading 2017 - Part 1 - February
I started off slowly and got even slower!
I think that means that I've either over-estimated how much time I have or under-estimated how much effort these tasks will take.
I reckon I've over-estimated how much time I have - realistically I have 1 hour a night so over a whole month that's around 30 hours which is nearly a full time working week.
So basically, in my current situation, I think it will take me a month to do what I would get done in a week if I were a full time artist.
I have been really enjoying my art journey just recently and I still want to carry on doing that whilst still remaining focussed on my main art goals, so I am going to cut myself some slack by extending the deadline for these goals by another 3 months.
