I’m declaring myself DONE with the (first?) hundred hours drawing project! I think I’ve improved some, less than it might seem from the outside – I regard a lot of what I’ve worked through to be reawakening old skills more than learning new things – but still, enough to be satisfied with. I’ve definitely improved on proportions and perspective, and I think I’ve also improved in my ability to see what I’m doing wrong, although the ability to then do it correctly seems to be lagging behind that awareness somewhat.…

Fic: How Sussie Got His Hat
I was trying to get up to 50K written in 2 weeks (for reasons, and I succeeded), but I didn’t have enough brain to write my book, so I asked for fic prompts and someone suggested a Kpop Demon Hunters prompt of “How Sussie ended up with Derpy’s hat” and I thought, I can do that!

art project: done vs good
I’ve realized that I’ve got two goals which are arguably antithetical to one another. :p Goal One, which has been in the forefront of my mind, is that I want to do my silly little web comic, which even I recognize I was good enough to DO before I started this 100 Hours project, even if I didn’t feel I was good ENOUGH by my own standards. But I’ve now drawn enough again that I feel like, ok, I probably CAN do it. Unfortunately, what I’ve realized is I also…

The truth is many of you have seen this before, but somehow I haven’t blogged about it, so I’m doing a COVER REVEAL today! Muahahahah! I would like to introduce you to the cover art for BONE & BLOOD, my upcoming retelling of the fairy tale Snow White, Rose Red. Dun dun dunnnnnnn!!!!! LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF THIS COVER ART. :D Cover designer Ravven, whose work I absolutely adore, did this as a pre-made cover. I saw it about 18 months ago now and I went OH.…
art project: materials
A few people have asked for this, and far be it from me to deny my audience :D First question: what course would I recommend for people who haven’t drawn in a really long time? Answer: Technically speaking, everything you could possibly want to learn is available for free somewhere on YouTube. I, however, lack the capacity to FIND all that material and not be overwhelmed by it, so I used courses that somebody else had put together. And yes, that does say courses, plural, because I can’t do anything…
