Good morning dear reader of this post, my friend! How are you today? How are things going? I do wish you the best! I am here, waking up way earlier than I should, and really wanted to update the blog! I love this feeling indeed! Though yesterday was not a day In which I was mentally 100%, because I felt overwhelmed of things to do and at a certain point I just wanted to stay in bed, I did manage to scan the total of 9 drawings! So, I mean, sometimes you have a productive time, but doesn’t feel good, does it? It sucks. I really don’t wanna force myself to draw, but I also have all those ideas I’d love to see on paper… can be a pain! I have a whole list of drawings to do, a Christmas project I am thinking about… I know it is Halloween, and I appreciate the holiday very much, but I don’t feel too inspired by it this season… anyway, Halloween has been a time of melancholy for me since 2016. And there is college, that is about to begin. I am concerned for college, because I want to do the stuff for it, and I must, as well, and unlike drawing, this is my formation, not a hobby, so forcing myself, though never ideal, may seem like the way to do it sometimes… my mind can be chaotic… I am glad, though, in spite of those many issues, because I at least am struggling due to have a lot to do, not the opposite, struggling because of boredom and lack of direction is worse than that. I suppose we don’t have flawless things, do we? And we do strive for it anyway, and I think it is not a bad thing to strive for ideal… the point is, also: scanning has its downsides, since I like to have high resolution drawings on my digital library, the scanning can take as much as 15 minutes to complete, in this very tiring process. The file is a bit big, and overexposed, so you also gotta tone down the lights on it, through editing. Editing a drawing is dangerous, because it has that evil incentive of you to distort the colors, make it pop more, which I’m not about. I like to have the drawing faithful to its paper version. Taking a picture of the drawing is, I believe, still worse than that, though, because you have external factors, such as shadows and the camera distortion into it. It is fast and simple to take a picture, and the file has way less megabytes, but I do like the scanned quality… I could also scan it with my phone. This is a nice alternative, still I prefer the scanning machine because the quality is better still. I like to really zoom into the drawing and look at the pores of the paper, if you may.
Here is a sample of one of my scanned drawings, this chaotic guy with three jumpers was done at some point in July 2022, a period of productivity I'd say!
This is what I wanted to share with you guys today, if you saw value in that, I am grateful! Thank you! I believe the post is getting quite long so I will be wrapping it up, but hope to return here real soon with more stuff! Real real soon! Hopefully on the weekend? I mean, let’s pray that God grant me the inspiration and the energy to do it! Until the next entry, see you real real soon, real soon.
