Wednesday 01292025 - Still Working

When I was growing up, an adult told me every generation thinks the world is ending in their time. I revisit that sentiment a lot, but especially now. I find myself thinking, “Okay but this time it really is” and then thinking about how people my age must have felt that way during every single historical event we learned about in school, and all the ones I’ve learned about since then because school couldn’t teach us evvverything.

I’m doing my best to remain realistic, but keep things in perspective. Not burning myself out, but not burying my head in the sand either. Working on this drawing has been amazing for that. I’m working on her hair and it’s such a soothing process. I know it might look tedious, but I find it comfortable knowing exactly what I need to do, and that if I take my time and do it well, the result will be beautiful. I also want to finish it before mid-February, so I have GOT to stay on it. I still have the whole background!
