Hello!! I haven't been to Tumblr for a couple of years and today I decided to check it out again - and saw you on my feed again. It's awesome to see this leap of development and I'm really happy for you!! You're doing great :D

Thank you! I really need some extra motivation these days to keep up, so your feedback is just in time! Much appreciated! ^_^

Trees always were my weak point. So it’s either surrendering or keep fighting. And here I am, in a forest.

Achievement unlocked: painting digitally outdoors.

Fishing isn’t always about fishing. Sometimes it’s about drawing.

Some pen sketches (all from life/outdoors). Somehow pens become one of my favorite media.

Sketching under the rain isn’t the best idea ever, though a fun experience anyway.

Art Summary: May, 2019

Okay, finally I did it. The most unproductive month ever, since the very beginning. One drawing in total, and not even a "drawing", just a quick doodle, "at least something"...

And the funny thing is, I've purchased lots of different pens to sketch at the beginning of the month, but I still haven't unpacked them... Yeah, I have plans to sketch a lot this month, but yet again, something went wrong. Nope, it isn't an "art block", just a pure mess with all my other routines and duties, so no room for drawing, and that's in regard to overall attitude, not a time. It's quite easy to find at least a bit of spare time to draw, but attitude is a key. I wasn't too busy, I was too overwhelmed.

But being optimistic, I can see a bright side as well. I mean, the following months will be much, much better. Because it couldn't be any worse, unless, of course, I'll give up. But I will not.

Art Summary: April, 2019

Ah, well... Just another one unproductive month, probably around 10 hours of drawing in total, for the whole month. Sad.

On the other hand, it wasn't so bad as well, because I've tried a few things I've always wanted to, but never did, for one reason or another.

The first thing I've finally tried, was sketching from videos. Without stopping or pausing it. And yep, I consider it as a must have practice. Don't get the wrong idea, though. The real goal should be practicing live/life sketching, i. e. sketching in public places, in transport, in cafes, in parks, etc. And not architecture or nature, but people or animals, something that is constantly moving. In this case there will be no option to "copy", only to "sketch", grasping the essence, the gesture. Blah-blah-blah.

Sounds cool, but at the same time it's something hard to maintain as a regular habit. For one reason or another. It may be "not comfortable yet" to draw in public, or no time to go and sit somewhere in the middle of the day.

So, then what? Endless "photo studies"? But it's a whole different story, not about "quick grasping"...

Sketching from streaming videos! Quite a good (semi)solution without any other options available. I have this idea in mind for a long, long time, but actually tried it only this month.

Perhaps just a coincidence, but I was watching lots of Ray Dalio interviews lately.

And so, let it be!

And the result is... not a pure fail, just a pure trash. Which is different. Failing something in drawing is just not drawing it, that's all. While "trash" is at least something. At least not a fail. Sounds not so bad from that point of view, huh.

After a few watched/sketched interviews, some sketches appears to be kinda "okay". Nothing new, though. Practice makes whatever it makes.

Thumbnail sketches, all by imagination. Something one should do daily. Something I don't do daily. Something I will do daily. I hope I will.

Geometrical compositions, misc sketches, some of them in colour (finally!) Nothing interesting nor special, just a regular practice. I mean, just a practice that is supposed to be regular... Ah, well, whatever...

And one sheet of paper with generic random scribbles:

Okay... But that's not all. The one thing I've also wanted to draw is a fan-art based on music videos. Yep, I'm a big fan of music videos. For me it's just like a short films. But with music.

Started, but didn't finish. Have no time, have no energy... Anyways, that's not important (or bad). What is really important (or good) is that I've finally started to do what I wanted to do.

Source, btw:

And now that's all. So, this month was bad. But wasn't completely failed at the same time. In other words, "as always". Which is sad.

March 2019 summary.

Worst month ever, was drawing only for an hour or so for the whole month. On the bright side, April will be much better. Because it couldn’t be any worse.

All March’s drawings: http://allmydrawings.com/month/64

Also, I’ve completely updated allmydrawings.com project, and have lots of plans to push it further and further (i. e. making it a valuable educational resource), all of them (plans/ideas) are listed on this public Trello board as a tasks. And launched patreon.com/tulvit as well, because why not.

In other words, I’m not dead yet, and it’s just an another one beginning (probably, not the last one, though).
