  • I am a grandkid now!

    What am I even doing, out partying on a weeknight! But in a stroke of luck while checking in on some of the artists I listen to, I spotted grandson on tour in Aus!

    Alas, it wasn’t a city venue and I had to travel out to Freo, which wouldn’t have been an issue except that 1. the performance started an hour late due to technical issues and 2. there was minor trackwork that required a bus connection before catching the train the rest of the way home, so I didn’t get home till after midnight!

    It was definitely very fun though and I enjoyed it a lot!

  • Prints!

    My computer monitor looks nothing like my phone screen, and I need to get better with colours, so I decided to go get some of my digital pieces printed today!

    It was just a standard Officeworks print on heavy paper, but omg why is everything so off lol. My monitor is definitely not calibrated; everything I do on the screen looks lighter than every other devices, and these prints show it too!

    I’m no good at figuring out how to make my monitor accurate though ugh zzz

  • Grandson portrait

    This one was interesting to draw! As always, displaying my Photoshop Takes Zero Skill heavily filtered pic, but I do want to post some WIPs too!

    I wanted to try something different for this – I really like the angle and lighting of this shot, but it was too daunting to approach with pencil because it was extremely black heavy, and I don’t like having to spend so much pencil lead on paper because it’s so tedious, not to mention the graphite goes everywhere and is prone to smudging! So I decided to start my digital canvas black, and worked my way towards white. It kind of worked???

  • XX

    I still can’t get the tilt angle right so his head isn’t quite as far back as the original picture. The arms are iffy but still okay, and the most enjoyable bit? The XX tattoo haha.
