I was able to correct my mistake in my drawing thanks to @Pyoopi & @Totoroki ’s suggestions. Now with the ground colored, I can now finally see progress. I am nervous about coloring some of the cut ins; atm I have some of Yusuke’s hair colored and not quite the right color; not sure how to make it the right color but I don’t think it looks bad. I have twelve panels left to color including Yusuke’s in case I decide to fully color him, a little on the bottom, and an area below the last cut in portrait on the far right. In spite of all my mistakes and lack of proper shading, knowledge or understanding about how to balance the colors, I am extremely pleased with how it looks so far, overall. Can’t wait until it’s all finished.
Been a stressful and tiresome few days (and I’m in desperate need of a shoulder massage now..), but my bf and I are finally English residents again! It’s so nice seeing family & being closer to old friends again. Can’t wait to build our future here
I got off of work super early for a Friday, usually it's much busier. Usually on Fridays I get off later and it feels like I have no time to do anythin before I have to eat dinner and go to sleep.
Into the SpiderVerse was also on TV so I FINALLY watched it. I liked it, and I can see what people mean by the movie being animated so well. Alot of the animation is pretty, I want to watch it again just for the animation lol.
The Bolts beat the Isles 1-0 in a super stressful Game 7 and advance! I'm so happy, and more importantly, super duper relieved that they pulled off the series win in the end. Just 4 more wins for back-to-back Stanley Cups, I can't believe it.
this probably isn’t going to make much sense lol, but i’m happy that i opened up the curtains in my room today. for most of the pandemic, i’ve been a shell of my former self without even really realizing it, one that has only gone outside a few times since early last year and always has her curtains closed to keep the sunlight out. today was one of those days where i just felt off, but rather than hide in my dark bedroom like i normally do, i opened up the curtains to let some light in and it actually improved my mood a bit! i’ve also been working on my health and hygiene the past few days - i’ve had a few slip ups but slowly i’m making progress, which i’m happy about. :’)
... and as for something less complicated, i did an animal crossing trade earlier that helped cheer me up, too! i always love trading with people; it makes me kind of anxious but it feels nice to socialize with the community here, even if only for a few minutes. ☺
My nephew officially turned 1 years old today. For a year now, I have tried my best in keeping his environment clean and have given up many days off so that my sis and bil could go shopping without taking him. I'm glad that we have made it to this milestone.
-My mom's Switch arrived! She got really interested in AC after seeing other people playing New Horizons and how much I've enjoyed New Leaf, and she's going to be starting her own island!! ^^ She also got Ring Fit Adventure, and I've agreed to be her Ring Fit buddy!
-Got myself a new Alpacasso for my collection! This time I decided on the pink one from the Pearl Ribbon series—I have a few pink Alpacassos already, but her serene closed-eye expression was too cute to pass up on.
-We ordered pizza for the first time in who-knows-how-long! It's super good; I also got to try fried eggplant as a topping and I quite like it!
I’m really happy and feeling like my usual self, which I haven’t felt in awhile. I’m just really glad everyone around me is being really sweet to me and I’m able to have good conversations with friends and family alike. I have a feeling I’ve been viewing both myself and others in the wrong light, but I think it’s time I change that and take a hold of my life. People have told me multiple times in the past that they see a lot of good in me, and every time I couldn’t see it myself. But now I think I have an idea of what it looks like, and it makes me happy.
I recently just got offered a permanent year-round position for the office I'm interning at. I'll be graduating with my BS at the end of this year. The idea of not going back to food service after four years of pure misery is making me so excited lmao. It's just been a really stressful year, and I'm glad a few good things are happening to me.
I won 5x 10€, so 50€ on a 5€ scratching ticket and my two Tamagotchis arrived today (well, I was able to pick them up today, as I'm back from holidays) AND I was able to buy another Tamagotchi today, yeay
I an almost done with my drawing. I think the hardest part was coloring, shading (even though I tried to avoid it as recommended until I learned how to properly), and lining (since that is where a lot of my mistakes happened). If I do manage to finish tonight, I’ll just post again, but change I might not since I am trying my best not to rush again. Yesterday, when doing the hair for one character and a hat for another, I totally thought my gamble at attempting the different shades ruined my drawing ; I took so many gambles while coloring and experimented way too much. They turned out good though surprisingly (or at least for now, until I start on their eyes and skin.) The shading of another character’s skin was tough but I think it turned out passable at the very least.
I’m still am really enjoying the diversity event. I was really surprised and happy to see my character in the banner; extremely grateful that so many people voted for mine. I am happy to see so many finding the courage to talk about their feelings on the subject and their experiences. I like learning more about people and feel this event has been very enlightening and informative.
I had a good dinner with my mom; she made pasta with butter and garlic along with a side of cucumbers and red peppers. she made pasta with clam sauce and garlic/butter for herself and my dad.
Can’t wait until it’s all finished.
