@ancha-aus had a silly thought and I had to illustrate it because it is so funny and so so true

Context:

i am a firm believer that ocs are a reflection of the self in the way that every character you create has to hold some piece of you to really feel alive. sometimes this is why all your ocs have certain traits, sometimes this is why you can track your various issues and traumas all the way from middleschool to now based on what your ocs are like. this is a feature not a bug

maybe your fanfic doesn’t have to change someone’s life maybe it can just brighten someone’s day for a bit

Me: *writes an amazing chapter*

Me: Ah yes. That is amazing. Can't wait to begin the next one. So many possibilities!

Me: *turns off my laptop and goes into a month-long depression*

Here, Today

I am so, so tired.

And the trees tire, too, their leaves drooping from their branches

Patterned in burnished bronze and scarlet, how the trees glow gold in the sunlight.

And the shadows of today are sharp against the grasses clinging to their color

Littering the ground in yesterday's summer.

There is still some time left in this now and here

Until the greenery burns out

And the leaves scatter in ashes to the wind

As the warmth of today's world fades for the last time.

Drawing tablet studies and drawing tablet issues.

Single layer test sketch.

I... cannot believe how easy it was to draw using a screen tablet, holy shit.

It had always taken me more effort to do digital drawing compared to traditional drawing. I just thought I wasn't skilled enough-- I just needed to use the drawing tablet more frequently, get good at navigating the drawing program.

All I did was try out a drawing tablet with a screen for an hour.

Digital drawing had never felt so easy until now. It felt ridiculously freeing, because I could actually sketch in the drawing program the same way I would sketch with pen and paper. Because I could actually put down the lineart where I wanted it, and not have to put in so much effort doing hand-eye coordination between the pen and the cursor. Because I can actually draw long, flowing hair now.

I don't know what to think anymore.

A quick sketch of Jen Rosotto.

When you’ve got the eyes of a hawk and too much common sense, of course you’ll look like a pissed off schoolgirl.
