This week was pretty bad, motivation-wise. My sleep rhythm had gone upside-down, and trying to fix that is always an exhausting process. On top of that, I had to draw... Needless to say it took me more effort than usual to get myself to pick up my pencil.

Still, drew some good stuff. In my opinion, that is. I like the "scale" pit, the isometric thing with lots of stuff happening, the face with pointy teeth, and the woman doing the pose. I feel like I'm getting a little bit better, in general. Nice!

With these drawings, I have finished this sketchbook. It was one I bought in 2016... That makes it 8 years old! Holy moly. Anyways, the 50% drawings I've done consist of a third of the sketchbook. A third in 1.5 months! Two thirds in 8 years!

It makes me a little sad, honestly. All that time I spent on a lot of things, but never took anything seriously because I was afraid of... Well, a lot of things. This sketchbook reminds me of those times... I'm glad that I filled it, but honestly, I'm just relieved I can put it somewhere where I don't need to see it anymore. The earlier drawings have become a mess, anyway, because the graphite gets rubbed on the opposing page when the book is closed.

In the end, what I feel more strongly towards is what I'll be drawing in the next week of 50%. Probably ink, but maybe I'll try pixel art. Damn, I'm excited! A new age is upon us!

The scale wall is pretty neat

Wescott Grid Ruler

Wescott Grid Ruler

Every now and then I'll get someone asking me about which ruler I use in my videos. It's this Wescott grid ruler that I picked up ages ago. While having a transparent grid is useful for figuring out spacing and perpendicularity, it ultimately not something that you can't achieve with any old ruler (or a piece of paper you've folded into a hard edge). Might require a little more attention, a little more focus, but you don't need a fancy tool for this.

But hey, if you want one, who am I to stop you?
