When the inspiration strikes, it really amazes me what I can achieve. I mean I'm not finished yet and it's only just the head so far (and the head needs to be worked on still) but I can't help but be proud of what I can really do. Jeez.




Also question for anyone who might be able to answer, when doing commissions, should the final piece be a .png or .jpg?

But it's alright. Life is kind of in a lull of a lot of things. I just don't really have that inspiration. I've got the motivation though. It sucks. I want to- I NEED to draw but can't. But I did draw this tonight, but I don't think it's really worthy enough of being it's own deviation.

Okay so like in either 2009 or 2010 when I worked at a Jerry's Artarama, I bought about $300 worth of Copic markers. For the next few years, I'd try to use them and then give up in them completely and have contemplated selling them.

But no. I have a better idea.

For the year 2016, I will (attempt) to draw/doodle and color 365 pieces with my Copic markers. They can be wips, they can be silly ugly doodles, but that will be my goal/resolution. My main goal is to get better at (copic) marker coloring and I've learned a lot by digitally coloring these last few years. I think it's time for me to not forget about traditional art

It's funny how my last journal entry mentions I hadn't posted in two years. Well now I haven't posted in three years since my last journal entry.

I'm thinking of becoming more active on deviantart since I've gotten a lot of people asking me if I have one. Not to mention I've become a little bit proud of my latest work. After an almost year long artist block, or what I like to call it: expanding phase, I think I've finally "leveled up" so to speak. I mean, I can still see a lot of imperfections in my work, but now I'm doing things I wasn't able to achieve in the past. So at least I've got that going for me.

I've also been critiquing a lot of artist's artwork lately who are around or below my skill level. I feel like I've got a better understanding of art these days, even though I know I still struggle. I don't know how to explain it exactly, but it's like I see beyond what my hands are physically capable doing. I feel like I'm critiquing myself when I critique other artists.

And now what I really wanted to talk about: commissions. I tried to get attention and do commissions on my tumblr, but it hasn't worked out well. Perhaps doing commissions on deviantart will work better for me. Who knows. I think I might need a better setup with my commission. Also I'm not sure if I should lower my prices? I hear it's not good to lower prices, but I wonder if I priced myself too high for my skill level?

Expect another journal entry soon. Hopefully not four years from now.

Its been two years since I have updated this journal. Wow.

Nobody reads this anyway, but I just wanted to get rid of that silly older entry of mine and just make things look up to date at least.

Anyway I'm home for the weekend with delicious uncensored internet. Its refreshing. I'm almost complete with school and I'm hoping to get a job soon. Still crossing my fingers for that interview I had. If anyone has noticed I've been drawing a lot this year ever since I got SAI and I think my art is really improving these last few months and it makes me happy. But it also feels like a waste since I've got nothing I can do with my art and its not on the level that I could sell anything.

BUT I digress. Everything is looking pretty good in my life right now. 2012 has been one hell of a roller coaster for me and the year isn't even over yet. Jeez. I do keep planning to cosplay, and I really want to and I'm so envious of all my friends who are, but I can't even begin to cosplay lately. I regained all the weight I lost last summer so I'd just look horrendous. But I plan to in the future though!!

I've got nothing to say so.... OLLIES OUTTIE.
