In Which we Wrap up February and I think of my upcoming appointments with the doctors...

Good morning, friend! Happy Saturday! The last week of February went by quite fast, and here it is, the end of such month, one to set the tone for 2026, or at least parts of it. I am happy to have you here today in the divagation store and society. How are you? As for me, I am okay, it is that moment of the month when food misses the fridge, and the gas misses the stove, it means it is almost time for more grocery shopping, to be done ideally as soon as possible, with the first day of March, or so. As for the month, I can say with some degree of fulfillment that at least it was a productive one. I have worked on 7 drawings in total, which is quite above average concerning this area. I did write about the same quantity on the blog as well, and I did reach around 900 entries, which I am so happy to have done it.  The weather has become decidedly hotter, given February is the apex of summer on that regard. I am dreaming of the rains that will come at some point, but for now I just hop...

In Which I chat about drawing plans and so on

Good morning, dear reader of this post, and happy Sunday Funday! How are you today? How are things going? As usual, I wish you the best, and hope you had a nice thanksgiving week overall! I am recovering mentally from that accident, where I lost my tooth, so I am once again struck with the desire to draw, play games, do my errands, and also write on the blog, it is a good thing, I think so! I did lose a lot of time this morning trying to set up a photo editing software alternative to Lightroom. It did not work out, and I already requested a refund for the product. Well, I haven't drawn so far, but I really hope I can do it soon, maybe today at some point, maybe tomorrow morning, now that I have scanned all the four drawings I had on my scanning list, and don't have to worry about the photo software failing. One step at a time. I'd like to share a drawing I worked on a while back with you all, it was finished in October the 15th, and I posted it already on my patreon blog. Let's jump to it!



This small description was taken out of my patreon blog, HERE is the link to it. 

Drawing buildings and the whole scenario around it is a huge challenge! A reason why I am not doing it as often as I’d like, even if I also love drawing the faces I draw, the flowers, and so on… it is a challenge because of all the details, the its and bits that come with it! I mean, every drawing has them, every good one at least, but well, something about buildings, the ones I do, inspired in proper classical architecture, of the german, sometimes russian, rococo branch! It can be a huge challenge (...) a happy day is one where I finish a drawing.

I am working on another drawing of a building right now, it does have a lot of detail and I'm a bit (maybe more than a bit) intimidated by it... It is a Christmas house inspired in the gingerbread stuff we see during this blessed time of year. I do hope I may finish it at some point, but I doubt it will be this month. I am praying to have the desire to draw a lot this December, as to make another landmark of this holiday. I am at the house of grandma for this week, which is nice, but also it means the chairs I have available to me suck a lot. I miss the one I have at home, and dang it, I forgot my sitting pillow... maybe I can ask my brother to bring it to me at some point, or maybe I just gotta return home earlier than anticipated, I don't know, when I am at my grandma's house I miss my mom's apartment, and when I'm at my mom's apartment I miss grandma's house, hence I am always going back and fourth. Someday I may have my own house, and I hope it may be a nice one, though I'm not really looking forward to the cleaning process and so on... well, one day, one step, at a time, because if I start thinking of the details, I will be anxious and struggling, and that is not a very useful productive mood. I believe I should wrap up this post here, and come back next time, real soon, with more stuff! I have somethings to look forward to, such as the patch update for Vic3, that will improve the already very nice game, and also the new DLC for Anno 1800, that will add a lot to the already packed game. God may allow that we don't have many game breaking bugs when the DLC and update are released, in a week or so... Well, I wish you the best, my friend, and I see you again real real soon!
