The first week of this month I spend only reading in my free time, plus relaxing more than normal to account for some changes/busyness in my schedule. Then two weeks to draw a 14 page story in color (one of these), which was doing entirely digitally. That’s not something I do often and it wouldn’t work for me in most cases but for this stories I think that was a useful and impactful choice in a few ways. Once the comic is done maybe I’ll write about that more. Finally, the past week was again spent reading as well as editing several article It’s nice and feels important at the moment not to leapt straight from one project into the next, though half a month off is perhaps more than I would prefer. I’m looking forward to starting a new project this week as my urge to draw has become fairly acute.
