In Which the Blog reach 950 posts! A lovely Holiday Season approaches!

Good morning, my dear friend, and I wish you a happy Wednesday! How are you, this fine hour? As for me, I am okay, just waking up, really. The weather here is one of quiet transition, to spring. I can still use thicker blankets, but the days are longer, and the sun is more bright. Not exactly a good thing, I don't like summer, that is approaching. The only saving grace is to have Christmas season also upon us, the season of 2026! And all the memories of happy summer vacations, with the christmas trees and the great deal of lovely santas around it. Grandma used to go all in for the decor. How I miss it... I pray I can emulate it, when I can. Today, grandma is 82 years old, she is aging, as it rarely can be helped. She is tired, and she lives in an apartment nowadays, as such, she does not do the Christmas stuff as vigorously as some years before, alas.  There is no such thing as forsaking the long holiday tradition just because "times changed", whatever that means.

In which I talk about plans for sketching!

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday to you and good night! How are you today and how are things? As usual, I wish you the best and hope things are going well! How is the weather where you are? If you live in the North, are you feeling the fall season? As for me, I don't have fall, but its influence are happily felt over here, quite lovely! The weather is mild, today was fine I must say, I'm doing okay for the most part, Monday was a day filled with emotions, many of them are bad ones, specially on the night, but yesterday was nice, and today was quite alright! I'm thinking on plans on sketching, I made some sketches I feel mildly satisfied with today, I plan on coloring them soon, and making some more as well, I need a new set of color pencils as well, my plans for the future, and I plan on start studying an art book that I have here with me, I know, I always say I will do so and I never do actually, I still have a book to read, I need to organize my routine a bit more, maybe return on reading the book I'm reading, I promised myself to doodle at least a page of paper per diem, so far I've been doing some progress, creative block sucks though, wish I could make a proper art course so I could have a proper place and time to practice. My plans for the future is trying to finish the drawings I started today, one by one, getting new color pencils, reading this drawing book that I have, and on other notice return on reading my book on the prince Grigori Potemkin, this wonderful gentleman that was so much more than the famous lover of Catherine II of Russia, other one of my favorite historic personalities. Today it would be naturally sketch of the week, so I have one for you guys, one that I made on Autodesk Sketchbook, here is the final result, it was made with mouse and the ruler helped me a lot


So here we have it, his name is Thomas and his favorite color is Purple, the color on the background! And he was born on an attempt to do something different with my new laptop. Thomas makes me excited for the future as I plan to keep on doing those digital sketches like I also do on paper and pencil, let us see how it goes! Well, this is it for today, thank you so much for being here, dear reader, you are the best, I see you next time!
