{feeling} tired. And tired of being tired. But apparently my inflammatory marker level (only bit of the blood test that’s back) is normal. Not that I have any idea what that means.
{pushing} boundaries on drawing. Tonight I drew my sktchy portrait with a magic crayon. It was my 50th submission to the platform as well, which feels like quite a good milestone, although as there are some people submitting two and three a day I’m not going to be going into the headlines any time soon.
{looping} back to tired. But with a side helping of determined. I need to pace myself and achieve stuff in and between bouts of extra sleep I think. (I’m turning into a sloth. It’s not fun. And I’m not even getting cute with it.)
{enjoying} skies.
Snapshots.
Big marked her 17th this week, which should have a post of its own when I’m not quite so tired. (Did I already mention that?) Small got his first iGCSE result, an A in computer science. Go him 🙂 Smallest is reading every picture book after I read it now – just waiting for her to make the leap to chapter books. I have a shelf of rainbow fairies waiting 😉 (And a whole lot of other things, but rainbow fairies have a long and honoured history here as gateway books to the real stuff!) Tigerboy is hovering in the not quite reading stages, but I think he’s absorbing a lot of what Smallest is up to, so it probably won’t be long.
A question. There are quite a few things I’d like to buy for myself to continue arting, not least a couple of anime style movable mannequins in lieu of making it to a life drawing class. I’d like art to be self funding though, and I’m not sure how best to achieve that. I started a patreon, but haven’t poked it, and while I’ve got a kofi button and have put it on book review posts I don’t feel right just asking for handouts. If there is something art related – cards, sketches, prints of mine that you’d consider buying, what would it be? And would you rather buy through something like etsy, or redbubble? Lots of examples on instagram, although I think sometime this week I’ll try to put together a portfolio page too.
