One thing I’ve learned to appreciate during this hellscape that is the ai-era… I find myself caring about perfection so much less, and being able to follow the passion itch while painting. Because we’ve seen what “perfected” (or maybe “perfectly expected”?) art looks like now and it sucks.

day 14
Benson’s golden birthday was the other day, but I found myself drawing Mill the next day 😂 I’ll end with Ben, because that’ll be on her bday lol. These pals are the entire light of my life.

Of the several years I’ve done these monthly challenges, never have I scrapped a painting to try a new one for the day. Until today. I had been working on one for hours when I realized I wasn’t going anywhere with it and started a new painting at midnight. I wasn’t even halfway through, but I was just fighting every stroke and I already hated it. I’m planning to go back to it, but with less pressure. This one came sooo much more naturally and showed me how to have fun again. I’ll revisit you by the end of the month, mark my words!

Also, I go into these thinking “oh it’s going to be so soft and boldly colored and moody” and then I’m just like “why does it look like a pastel y2k themed tumblr though” by the end. Practice makes better I guess.

day 7
The woman who owns these has over a hundred more and she is afraid of birds.

Focused on keep contrast while really limiting my value range. I think I let the painting get away from me in the meantime but I’m mostly happy with the mood I could get.
