i'm only happy when it's complicated
I've been sorting out drawings for doing watercolour paintings, and transferring them onto watercolour paper. Yesterday, I got to the end of a pad, and mentioned this to mum. To which the reply came, "Errr, well, I didn't really buy you that so you could put things in the middle of it, and that'd be it."
I shrugged it off by replying that that was just how I worked, and I wasn't very good at backgrounds (true).
I don't know if she expected me to produce rolling landscapes or what, but that's just not my thing. I'm really trying to embrace what is my thing, which is cartoony type things and stuff. Because that's what makes me happy. (Though I'm not really happy right now, my mood is spectacularly shit. I don't know what happened, but it suddenly started going downhill this afternoon and now here I am, feeling like blergh).
Anyway, I was going to draw tonight instead of glancing at tumblr because if I'm in a cruddy mood, that's only going to make me feel worse (whether it means to or not). And I haven't done any drawing today. I have instead been image editing (I rediscovered the joy of quickmasking!*) and sorting out posts for my new art blog, which I will link to once there's something on there (first post is scheduled for tomorrow).
(I also uploaded higher quality images/some new stuff to my redbubble shop, so there's more to choose from/things available on more things!)

*I used to know how to do this before, once! I learnt how to do it at uni, and then stopped for whatever reason. And then today, I realised that I had backgrounds I needed to remove from pics, and that was the perfect way to do it.
