I knew my "daily" sketches wouldn't be followed every single day the moment I started it. XD I'm just at my 3rd day and the streak was already broken haha. But I don't punish myself nor feel bad about this because it's not a big deal for me yet I still want to commit myself into doing this everyday.
It's one of the things I really wanted to do in my daily life. I'm a very big overthinker and I want everything to be perfect and go with my plans. But obviously it doesn't just happen no matter how much we try. With this exercise (the daily sketches) I want to do something for myself that makes me feel good and accomplished and practice my art at the same time - but also if I didn't do it in a day then I won't feel disappointed about myself. It's been doing great so far even though I missed for 3 days. :D
One of the reasons why I broke my streak was that I got discouraged when I read the 3rd drawing to be "A cozy book nook" and I was like wtf is a book nook. I googled it and the results just doesn't make sense. A space you create in the middle of the books for a hidden world or whatever? Bruh. I ain't got no time to figure that out.
I also have to organize my room since my table wasn't enough anymore. I got a new pc and monitor so my Macbook and 24" pen display needed another table so I spent a day figuring out how to arrange them all without being "too much" for the one table and not to make the space tight as well. I figured it out in the end and got an "L" shaped workspace. <3
Next is I started taking isotretinoin recently and I was already feeling the side effects. I spent 1 day just literally sleeping maybe for 10+ hours and being so tired and had back and joint pains as well. Apart from those I also am experiencing dry lips and kinda dry skin despite the low dosage per day. This should only last a month tho so I should be good in the next few weeks.
So I googled what book nook is again and found another description that says it is a reading nook, a dedicated space where you can get really comfy while reading a book without it having to be necessarily a library type of space. I don't have that in the house so I found this on Pinterest and drew it.
I didn't wanna spend too much time on the shadows for the drawing although I wanted it to be more "loose sketch" next time. :D And my cute lil desk faces the window and I just realized I should have done this long ago. Now I can face the window even though I don't really have a nice view. :P
looks well done to me , @sagterberg have a look :)
Thank you! :D
Looks really good indeed! And don’t be to harsh on yourself of not drawing daily. I made a weekly challenge and I can’t keep on it either. U shouldn’t push your creativity
I'm glad to hear that you're not beating yourself up over breaking your streak with the daily sketches. It's important to be kind to yourself and to remember that these things are supposed to be enjoyable.
really like your drawing of the book nook. It looks very cozy and inviting. I also like that you decided to face your desk towards the window, even though you don't have a great view. Natural light is always nice to have, and it can help you to stay productive.
Wow, you know....what I love so much about the pictures is your tools, they contribute to such a great work you've done there. More love
Thank you! Yeah those were some nice pencils. :D
I like it when you share your tools of the trade, hope you get better. @hiddenblade 🤗
Thank you very much <3
