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.

Sunset orange socks in k3p1 ribbing.

Casted on 64 st in Italian cast-on on one needle, 2.0 mm (US 0). Cuff 16 rounds k1p1 ribbing. Leg of sock 64 rounds k3p1 ribbing. Standard slip stitch heel flap, maintained slip st reinforcement through heel turn and gusset decrease up until returning to 64 total st. Foot of sock 53 rounds. Toe of sock decreased every 4 st. Grafted toe closed when 36 st remained.

Yarn is Knitpicks Hawthorne multi hand painted sock yarn, color Kenton.

Golden yellows and soft pinks and burgundy reds blending together into the most beautiful sunset. There are so many colors, yet the primary color used is not actually orange. But it feels like it's orange, and I am happy.

I’m no longer in shambles trying to write the next chapter.

I’m also knitting a pair of socks, so that might have had something to do with it.

"why does writing take so long" because 60% of it is coming up with a sentence, realizing that sentence doesn't work the way you want it to, and staring at a wall
