WWN: a very chill week


Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 162

[GREETING GOES HERE]

I feel like this newsletter is a really good representative sample of where my skillset is right now

What's Going On

Portraits

I forget how fun it is to paint portraits

  • It's pretty "braindead rendering" (no big decisions to make)
  • faces are just fun to draw. there are so many cool shapes in there
  • I like how it turns out

I've been listening to a science show

Pourtables

I did some more art for my friends at Pourtables!

Planet Project

I wanted to draw a character for each planet. I started some of them, but I'm starting to get busy with other stuff...so lowkey I'm probably not going to actually finish these

Random Drawings

I drew this for my sister's wall! It grew me a lot because it pushed me to use ink and markers; something I don't really do.


What I've been thinking about

I've been reading a good amount recently (a lot of short stories and essays), which is crazzyyy....

I'm learning how beneficial it is to spend time in the idea phase. In the past I tend to just rush straight into drawing, but recently I'm trying to think more...and hopefully the end result is better?

I made banana bread


Thank you!

I went to a Christian Comic Con called Koinonia Con. It wasn't very crowded, so I got the chance to have really good conversations with folks! Also got to play some board games.

My parents got me a toilet seat for my birthday

Next Newsletter on November 11th!

I missed being able to have the flexibility to draw elsewhere I got a keyboard shortcut thing I had this Ipad since 2020....so it's kind of cringe to look back at my old stuff aforementioned cringe It's quite nice so far, but it feels like a whole different medium. There's a different feel to the texture and drawing than my Clip Studio...

Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 159 [GREETING GOES HERE] from udon What's Going On Mark I wanted to create a series to more intentionally practice integrating my drawings with some sort of design, and also better practice thinking conceptually.
