Short post this week, since I'm too busy freaking out over my academic workload to write much. I've still just been trying to get my fantasy eBook prototype finished (not going anywhere near as smoothly as I'd hoped). I tutored (well, co-tutored) my first class on Thursday, which was fun (though weird, since some of the students were friends from other classes I've done as a student lol). At the moment, I'm brainstorming story concept ideas for my illustrated children's book. So far I've come up with four or five ideas, though there are two in particular that I'm leaning towards. However, I'll have to play around with a few illustration styles first, to find a balance between getting them done quickly and making them look nice. Once I've chosen a style I can then decide which story it might suit better (or vice versa).
While I was in a lecture on Tuesday night, I decided to attempt a sketch of Rex (a.k.a. Judgemental Dog) from memory. Didn't come out perfect - his chest should have been broader - but it isn't too bad:
On that note, I shall leave you with this week's Judgemental Dog photo, taken by my friend, Carly, and edited on her iPhone:
See how other ROW80ers are going here.
I am very impressed with your drawing! There's nothing worse than a migraine, so hope you are feeling much better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Depression Cookies. I love the ROW80 support!
Wow, another person with RL issues in the way of writing. I think I discovered a club in my bloghopping today! Good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteMigraines are miserable! I hope you are doing better today. Absolutely love your sketch! I draw too - stick figures and smiley faces, lol. Those count, right? You're very talented :) Don't beat yourself up too much, you have a lot going on! When I feel like I can't make time for writing, I set a timer for 15 minutes and just type until the thing dings. If I've made progress on the story then I celebrate, if it's useless mumbo, well...I save it in my useless mumbo file and still pat myself on the back for having given it a shot :)
ReplyDeleteSending encouraging vibes your way!
