Meat House

Bookend: Thanks mate :) I think they're leveling up because the mentorship does give a lot of work, and since it cost me a lot, I worked days and nights through to get as much done as possible. It's nice to see improvements, but on the other hand this is not a sustainable way to work, so I'd be careful not to be dazzled by the shiny bits (Self, hear that?), and keep in mind it's always tears and sore body parts lol! 

Lurch: Thanks Lurch! How are you doing with the Environment mentorship yourself?

Smrr: Refueling is uh... not sure if it happened, lol! I work then crash then work again. I always end up wasting almost the entire Thursday evening and Friday after class, and then start panicking and cramming by Saturday before or after going out to drawing meetup.

Andrew: Always trying to pry that nugget of gold from every experience and decision man! Although the consequences do start to hurt more and more the older we get. How I wish I was reckless youth who just went and did all sorts of bad stuff to learn from :P

Ramalooke: Hey Rama, just stopping by and saying hi is already very nice of you :) I'll keep pushing on for sure *thumb up*

Not much to show so far because whereas I started month 1 energetic, I started month 2 while still trying to finish month 1, and already exhausted from staying up too many times. So only 1 batch of thumbnails, and a couple random doodles. I should have another one to update this post after tonight's drawing meetup, but depends, I might have just a crap sketch. So here's what's presentable... and I really, really need to be more intentional and arbitrary at starting and ending every single tasks, and stop letting my tasks manage me instead. Time for a coup and take over leadership in Kingdom Yen D:<#

This video shows John Park randomly picking a daily object, and really forcing himself to draw and come up with designs somehow. Just forcing himself to break out of the box and be inventive. Good practice I say, although not all daily objects are created equal - brocoli has more shape material to work with than a tomato!

Also a very belated shout out to US and UK friends for national coming out day and spirit day! Never give in! Verbal bullying is same as physical bullying. No guilt! Just fight!

Lately I've been pretending to work in a nice cafe by combining Coffitivity with Youtube cafe music, and if you like the coffee house setting, that's worth a try. 

Very random, yes. Now, picture time: 

drawing meetup last Saturday: 



Robotpencil mentorship month 2 thumbnail batch:



For someone who can't ever keep up something regular for longer than a week, I impulsively started making these doodles to send them as good morning cards to my girlfriend in a different time zone. Some are rougher and some are more wholesome-looking (like these 2). It started after having the Smithsonian Natural History book perceptually opened on my desk and under my elbow. 

Note to self: google how to restore book that's coming apart.
