Drawing Mood, Are You Coming Back?

1 min read

Despite my art block and my lack of motivation for drawing these past three months, I'm somewhat glad to have my DA account up and running once again.  I missed DA! :D  And I miss drawing.  But it feels like my long wait is about to end.  I can feel that mood slowly coming back, and I hope it comes back in full force. *crossing fingers*

New Beginning

3 min read
I think it's about time to have a new journal entry (and forget about my ravings about the Aerosmith concert last year).  It's a brand new year.  We're halfway through January, and quickly approaching Feb.  Time passes by so fast, I sometimes think it's playing tricks on me. 

The past year wasn't that very kind to me at all.  I lost 2 very important people in my life.  In a fit of depression, I didn't go out of the house for a whole month.  A whole month without sunshine and fresh air.  In order to find a distraction and stop myself from thinking about my heartaches too much, I let my workload swell and I burried myself in tons of work.  Which undoubtedly, stressed me up and made me even more depressed. But right when I think I was about to go crazy, I picked up my sketch pad and pencils and resorted to art, as what I always do during my dark times.  Slowly, healing came.  I lost myself in my drawings and I was happy especially when I'm in the zone.  I'm still in the process of healing until now, but I can say I'm so much better, and am on my way to total recovery.

I also stumbled upon this art-related group on facebook almost 3 months ago, which made me so inspired, I decided to finally start drawing with multi-colored ballpoint pens. I also met new people who make me feel so accepted and special. I started drawing like crazy, and I can see great improvement in my skills in just a short span of time.  I posted my art and WIPs on my facebook page, and now, there's been a flood of commission work requests.  I haven't done any commission works in the past because I'm not that confident with my skills just yet.  But because of the overwhelming feedback I received, I decided to give it a try. 

I thank God for giving me the talent and skills which gives me so much happiness during the most crucial times, and whenever I'm badly in need of it.  Now I can say I'm ready to forget all the pain that 2013 inflicted on me, and ready to face the new year with my chin up and a hopeful smile on my face. :)

AEROSMITH. Hell yeah!

4 min read
Well, since I still can't find time to finish my WIPs, I just decided to do something that'll definitely lift my bored spirits up.  As a part of their Global Warming Tour, Aerosmith is coming to town next month, and I'm not gonna miss it for the world!  Hell no!  The ticket prices literally made me gasp when I first saw it online, though.  So freaking expensive!  The VIP seats costs as much as a monthly salary of a regular teacher, or a nurse, or a lawyer, or a freaking writer like me (in this country, that is), and that almost makes me want to weep.  But I do understand, since the band is not just a small, mediocre and forgettable  group of people who just recently learned how to play music and perform.  This is Aerosmith, a band who's been around for forty years, a band behind a lot of chart-topping hits (I have no idea how many), a band whose lead vocalist is 64 years old, old enough to be my dad, but is still kicking ss on stage.  They are living legends.  So this may be a once in a lifetime event.  And this is the first time Aerosmith will be grazing the shores of the Pearl of the Orient.  So being a rock and roll fan, I will be a fool if I'll just gonna let it pass.  But since I'm not wealthy and I have bills to pay, I'm not gonna buy myself a VIP seat.  Probably the seat after that.  Or even the next one.... And I don't care if I have to go alone because my friends are scared of the ticket prices.  I'm going, and that's final!

Itchy Hands

3 min read
As an opposite of my previous journal entry, I'm finding it hard now to allot time for art.  Last month, I tried my best to spend even a day or two of my week for drawing.  But ever since April started, deadlines start to congest, and I had to set aside my drawing pad and pencils temporarily.  Right now, I have no choice other than to browse other people's works here (which is so amazing and so inspiring most of the time), but it sort of tires me.  My hands are itching and my pencils are calling me.  I'm hoping to find more time for art for the next few weeks.  Because if not, I'm afraid I'll drown in my own deadlines.

I'm actually supposed to be working on a script right now, but I'm here in DA taking a break.  Which I always do every hour, I think.  :pc:

Oh, well...

(I finally got an awesome journal skin, haha.  Thanks to NishithV nishithv.deviantart.com/..... Now back to my script. :yawnstretch:)

Less work load means less income.  But it also means more time for art!

Yes, I just have to look on the bright side. :)
