Fall Break

Hey guys! I had a super long day yesterday and crashed when I got back to my dorm, so update is a little bit late but that's okay! I've been hecka busy (when am I not anymore?) with assignments and going home for fall break, but I need to regroup and go through with work this month. 

Highlights from this week were going back home and seeing my friends! We did our yearly traditional corn maze, and I ate lots of delicious food! I'm already missing being in my bed. :( A bummer was that I worked all day on Friday to get a YouTube video uploaded, and then I realized that I had made the same exact video a couple months ago! I'm honestly so embarrassed, but I think that just shows how absolutely tired I've been. I got so little sleep this past weekend (I went to bed at like 4 every night), so right now I'm pooped. I tried digital painting, and that absolutely killed my wrist, so I'm a teeny bit discouraged but determined to make it through everything. And lastly, I managed to bring a car and get a permit here on campus! I'm so liberated hahaha, she's just my foster child for the moment (I pay all the car payments but don't own the car oooof) so I'm excited for adventures! Maybe going for a super long drive tomorrow...

The thank you stickers finnaaaaallly arrived, so I'm going to be packaging all your rewards and shipping them out by Wednesday. I know I'm a little bit late with them, but I couldn't really help the sticker place being hecka slow on production. 

Oh! So one big thing that you might have noticed if you follow me on Instagram; I'm not posting for Inktober-- I don't have time honestly. I don't have good ideas, and I'm so tired from all my other assignments and basic living to draw daily masterpieces. And not gonna lie, ink isn't inspiring me right now. I was so ready for what I was going to create until I saw a tweet saying how the artist didn't care about Inktober because it's too much stress. Honestly it's true! Last year, there was so much drama and controversy around it, and I would dedicate at least an hour every day to the drawings, but I felt more inspired then. At the moment, I'm focusing on my assignments which call for a lot of design. I think I haven't been feeling passionate about my illustration recently since I am learning so many useful design concepts, and I'm trying to soak them all in and keep up with deadlines (as well as knowing how to make better product design before adding more stickers and patches to the shop). 

I should have a YouTube video up sometime this week (fingers crossed), and it's supposed to be tips/tutorial, so let me know what you guys would like to see from me-- you guys get first dibs on subject matter!

No good movies this week, just New Girl as I've been cleaning up and doing assignments.
