January Monthly Check-in and some February Stuff Too…

Hey All!

Oops I kind of disappeared there for a bit, sorry about that. I guess I just really needed a week off. I didn’t draw, read, or blog for 6 days… I’m feeling a bit better and hoping to get back to it.

I’m going to combine the beginning of February and the end of January in this post.

February

I’ve created this month’s dailies thingy… what do I even call it? Check list?

.

As you can see, I’ve signed up for Procreate Bootcamp, it’s a 7 week event where we get several prompts a week and a weekly live online workshop… it’s a great community and I enjoyed myself last year.

.

Hourly Comics Day is Feb. 8, and I thought it would be fun to do Willow’s day… although, I must admit I don’t know what she gets up to in a day yet. But I did end up going down a rabbit hole and found out that several flowers bloom at specific times of day… I don’t yet know how I’m going to use it… but I finished drawing some of the flowers…

January Dailies Experiment

I’ve been collecting the urls to the books and classes I’ve done for the month so that it is all in one place, in case something was interesting to you and you wanted to go check it out yourself.

I seriously got off track near the end of the month. I’m hoping to get back on track, I think I just needed a short break from it all.

.

In January, I was able to:

  • read 1 book and 3 short stories/novellas
  • blogged nearly daily (except weekends)
  • drew nearly daily
  • learned all kinds of new stuff
  • played with creating a new character, Willow, and then having her do fun adventures

Until next time…
