This shows how much I know about Deviantart these days: I wrote an 'update status' instead of a journal entry!

I'll be posting more soon...

Good gracious, it's been a while.

I've been pretty busy as of late.  I've had a couple commissions in the works (actual, real jobs!), but for the most part I've just been cranking out t-shirt designs.

I love it, but from a former non-shirt designer's point of view...it's a very odd process.  I find that when I go back to drawing 'regularly' (i.e. not being limited to a certain amount of color or having to make separate layers), my mind is in a box.  At times, I forget I can even USE other colors or use only one layer.   It's odd.

But when I *do* remember, it's such a great feeling.  Hah, like discovering digital painting all over again.

Weird, I know.  

Honestly, I should probably try delving into real media for a change..

Okay, so I've had this for a while...but just recently decided to start posting in it properly.

We'll see how long that lasts, hah!  I'm going to try and do a sketch a day.  Even if it's terrible.  Erm...starting tomorrow.

(psst, thank you :iconkouotsu:  I seem to be new at this internets thing)

So, I went back through my gallery and noticed how many shirt designs I really need to overhaul.  Some of them had a great idea to them, but I just didn't have the skills to make them as fantastical as I wanted.

As artists, I'm sure everyone gets this feeling.  It's a good one though.  One of my favorite things to do is re-create a picture or painting to see how far I've come.  

Still have a long way to go though.  I need to work harder.  I'm really excited about getting to it though.  

The really great thing is, seeing other artists progress proves something: anyone can be a (good) artist.  Most (normal) people are born into this world and then work, work, work at getting better their whole lives.  It's not just 'Oh! I can draw suddenly!'.

So, if you're one of those people who thinks they can't draw, but you're really passionate about wanting to: do it.  Draw.  Draw until you can't draw anymore. Then draw more.

I've *actually* been working on things!  Soon, I'll have more to put in my gallery.

Hopefully, I'll also have more to put on shirts! :)
