@Wave: Thanks so much man... no you keep inspiring me!
@mikey: glad you learned something man, even if it was from my mistakes

@Dream i get up around 7:30-9:00 depending how sore i am and eat breakfast, then i check forums/email and start drawing analog
till about 12:30 then i eat lunch then i go back to drawing till 6 and i switch over digital at that point and i just basically
work on studies and doodles and such till about 2 or 3; sometimes i take a walk because i have kidney stones and i
have to make sure that i get some exercise during the day to keep them from solidifying. i get kinda nervous when i do though
because i am not working and i kind of feel lke i have a gun pointed at my head to make it with this since it's backup plan #3 for
me.
If you're drawing casual though, enjoy it; like if you're at Uni/highsc on your parents money, really savor that and enjoy your
time there, you just have like a pass to relax and not stress about this stuff too much. It's just a year of my life working like
this and i've been on this schedule since i quit my job back in may 20ish when i realized that i had to do this. it's a long story,
my failures and achievements, but i am only 19 and i hate that i feel like time is running out so quickly..
I'm really gonna have to take tomorrow off though; this is starting to affect my health. This girl over at daggers named smrrfette
(who's also getting super intense/hardworking)started around the same time i did as far as sketchbooks and her hand has crapped
out on her. I feel mine is really close to that point too and i just don't wanna push it over the edge, so today i was
experimenting a bit with water color since it forces me to not scribble so much and just focus on contour, which isn't all
bad to do. I also found that wearin a cotton glove really helps me put less pressure on the paper and relieves some of the wrist
pain. I've even considered training my left had if that doesn't years just so i have another arm to keep learning with haha. but
you don't have to put pen to paper to learn; i just feel more productive.
my friend who isn't an artist would joke with me aboutwhat studying is; we'd say stuff like, you are just staring at
photos/paintings for hours like with your face pushed up against the screen. as you get better you can tell what the
person who painted it had for breakfast and how many pets they had.
i dunno i just feel really strange right now; i'm worried that if i draw i'll start having the dan luvisi hand crapping out
syndrome <.<
