A mini-epiphany last night while thinking about drawing.

How I work with traditionally (semi-realistic/portrait style) is something that almost led to an art career.
Ironically my digital art polarizes my traditional art too much in favor of trying new perspectives and streams of consciousness. I think I've somehow divided my creative mindset in some weird way. My digital art should really be more of an extension of what I do well enough and not really an escape.
Hopefully I can fold my digital art in so I can get back to coloring soon!!!

Hey y'all
Just a quick question: how is the weather where you are? I mean it's just the beginning of the winter but I'm already sick of this cold and greyness outside

[Kelheor]

Ahahahaaaaaaa... yeah
I kinda miss my hometown weather, it had quite a lot of sunlight even in winter, when there is a lot of snow. The southern region is much better in that regard too ._.

@LCT_m_a_d I hope you find your way soon! ^^ I don't know if I can help anyhow, but if you need advice or anything, I'm here for you =)

Btw guys who are regular as I know you can change topic category, right? Could you please drop all the novel themed topics that appear in the forum from art/comic section to writing/novel

It's very cold, at night it's -23 and peak was -27 of cold. Br-r-r-r. Snow is everywhere, cold is everywhere, my car can't even start in this weather > _ <

[LCT_m_a_d]

@alextsarace
We got hit pretty hard Monday evening with snow but the last couple of days have been fairly decent.

@Kelheor
You've given me plenty of awesome sound advice! Hopefully I don't come off as too gloomy or discouraged about making art. I'm actually a lot more content making art, just not used to this mindset.

[Legendofgenii]

It has rained all day here (UK south Coast).

[Kelheor]

Oh, no, you totally don't! On the contrary, you are one of the most optimistic people about your art We all have our struggles ^^

drawing on iPad is difficult when I am used to holding my drawing pencil horizontal than vertically

[nostalgicroxas]

overall grey or sunny. But cold. The last few weeks have been super cold - like bring a blanket and a winter down coat to work/drive home in at midnight/1am. The other day we had a wind storm blip through that the weather reports didn't say was coming or was happening. "Gusts over 15mph." reality: sustained wind of 20mph

[carreonaiwille]

It's a bit cloudy, no snow though because we're in a tropical country. I miss the days when temperature reaches 25 degree celsius at midnight. Just reminds me of Christmas. Typhoons have already passed and there is no more storm being monitored as of the moment.

[vothnthorvaldson]

Lot of snow here in Central Canada. As my place is cold but semi-desertic, I'm not too used to that. It is also very warm (around freezing) these days (it could be as cold as -35C by now, but it is very variable)

It has only rained twice this Winter we are dying in California Please send water.
