Okay, this month I started a project that I’m excited about. Or, rather, I finished part one of said project. I want to fill up a full visual diary with polished drawings/ paintings etc. Polished. So each one has to have a decent amount of work put into it. I finished the first one in around 5 hours, and I think I’m most proud of that for this month. It was my first time ever drawing on black paper with white mediums, and it turned out surprisingly good. I am even more motivated to push myself to experiment and create more since. I also exercised more yesterday than I have pretty much all holidays. So that’s a step in the right direction.
I am also pretty proud of everything from White Night weekend. I woke up early to help my friend on a Channel 31 shoot. Did my best, learned a lot. I hadn’t worked in a studio before so I was nervous, but I knew I had to learn sooner or later. So I’m really glad I went outside of my comfort zone and learned something new (as well as helping out a friend of course!). I then went home very briefly to refresh and meet up with another friend. Then we both went back to the city for White Night pretty dang early. Got there at about 8:30. We ended up staying there until it was well and truly over. So, not counting my brief stop home, I was in the city, awake and functioning for over 24 hours. Which is a pretty solid effort I think. I’m proud of such a thing because it has legitimately been a while since I’ve done anything like that. Particularly this holidays I’ve been pretty lazy and whenever I go out or meet with friends it has been a fairly comfortable occasion, so I’m glad I went outside my comfort zone.
Additionally, I have been practicing guitar a lot more and have been learning as much as I can, both practical and theory, and I already see a huge improvement. I can play one of my favourite songs and have been getting good feedback online. I’m pumped for the next month to see what more I can do.
