I come to you from one of the first Mondays where I have a few hours free time, as O has a few hours of nursery in the morning. It still manages to be a stressful time (at least the beginning) as O still hasn't gotten used to the new nursery so gets upset when we leave her there... But I'm gradually becoming more able to get things done from my to do list. Annoyingly there are still lots of mundane, bureaucratic type things that need doing but we're getting there. I did spend some time doing some drawing and pixel art too!
Now it's post nursery, post lunch and I just walked her to sleep so thought I'd write a little update.
I've been making good on my small goal to play more video games this year and had a good amount of time going through Hades 1 pre Christmas and then have put in a bunch of hours into Hades 2 since then. A modest amount compared to most gamers but pretty good for me!
I've been sketching and pixel arting as I mentioned and honestly have been disillusioned with my own abilities, having looked back on my work from the pandemic and earlier, it's so bad! And luckily there's been improvement since but with clearer eyes I can still see areas that could do with improvement. Yet then I wonder, what for? Is it so I can use my art in ceramics? Do better at my job? Or do something in drawing outside of work? I haven't worked it out yet. Of course it would be good for my work, but I don't think that's a strong enough motivator for a long term art practice.
I'll continue to mull it over... At some point I'll post about my ceramic progress, which also happens to be underwhelming; maybe it's just the season I'm in! Anyway, a sketch below... I had to concentrate a lot on it and it took a bunch of brain power. A lot of resistance while working on it!
