New things

1 min read

So in the beggining of the year I got new tablet - Huion Kamvas 16. Its so different of my old Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch that I don't know where to begin. Its a screen tablet and he have so good color pallete and all. With it I can finally draw more natural so I will update my gallery more often if I got time.

I decidet that I change my gallery a bit. Some of my old work will go to folders, and I leave only things that I like the most. So if you search for somethin and its not there try folders.

I started watching some people that teach how to draw and I can recomend some of them If you still struggle and want to learn new things. There are my 3 of choice, there all on youtube, but you can find them on instagram too.

https://www.youtube.com/c/EthanBecker70 - Ethan Becker (the best teacher I was able to find)

https://www.youtube.com/c/bluefley00 - Marc Brunet (good tips and give classes)

https://www.youtube.com/c/Dospordos - Kooleen (good tips)

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everybody!
How do you spend your New Year's eve? My was at home, alone with my cat, becouse of my leg. My next operation is delayed because I had to take an antibiotic. There will be another survey to check if im okay, and then, I hope, I get operated that damn leg. So maybe I got nice present for my birthday, and finaly I will be able to bend my knee?
I got some cool present for christmas, two mannequins (male and female), to draw.
Mannequins by SelenaDeadShadow
They look exacly like this (my boyfreind buy them for me from joom.com, one of them cost 30-40 złotych), they have somethin between 10-15 cm, so they small but that is not important to me. They have to more pairs of hand - fist, and one where they can hold things, and one more pair of feet where you cant move fingers. They both have something like hanger (I dont remember how its called), where you can put them and they can stand in different poses. They made from some resin, so its nice in touch, and most important they move almost in every possible way.
So I hope I will use them to improve my drawing skills. I still got my old one wooden mannequin, but it has it limits. Hope you got some nice presents for christmas too.
Oh and almost forgot! I make a LiteratureClubPL group, but is for polish people. If you write something, anythig, youre welcome there!

Last dance

Sometimes I wonder why I have such bad luck? On saturday, almost two weeks ago I was at disco having fun with my sister and her boyfriend. Actually, I was in a bad mood because my boyfriend did not come with us. But then I walk on parquet and was dancing like in this song 'maniac' when the dancer becomes the dance, and I forgot that I was mad, just all gone...till something snap in my knee and I fell on the floor. I was laying there for a monent not being able to get up by myself. Some guy and my sister boyfriend helped me get to the chair, but till then I can move my knee. Still waiting for results from resonance, but I know for sure my leg is broken, and probably I get surgery for this. So this was my last dance I suppose....for a long time.

EDIT
So I'm after surgery, and I lerned a few things. My kneecap was broden badly in back of my knee, that piece almost for-five centimeter long bone was stuck between side meniscus and kneecap, so that why I wasn't able to move my leg (It was on the outside side of my leg). Second info, I have a dysplasia, that means my side meniscus are a little shorter so probably my kneecap can dislocate again in the future. In the end I have to take care of both of my legs. My rehabilitation will be long and painfull (im after 5 days), but I will move eventually with full, now its move like at forty degrees of less. I have to exercise and cover with ice that knee, and its unpleasant. Can't slepp to good not to mention that I have to sit on a chair in the shower when I have to take a bath (good I have a big shower). I dont know when I will be moving without crutches, maybe something like two or more months, but that wont be to fast...so I dont know when I put here some artworks, the reason? Its simple, I can't sit properly in bed, my back hurts when I stay in one position for too long, so no more arts for now. I try to write, but it will take a month or so...sorry to let everyone - who still watching - down.

And almost forgot, thanks for favs all! I dont remember to thank every single one person, but that means a lot.

Trying

Ok so I was watching some youtube videos, and just by curiosity I clicked a video of some girl named Brushes and Bunnies. She said that she trying to sketch something every day, and by this she improved her drawing skills. That is really good video so you can check this --->  [link] its very inspiring. To tell the truth I don't know when I literally stop drawing. I was telling myself that Im not good enough and maybe its the best to not to do anything becouse I don't want or care anymore...I just lost my willingness to draw. There was some fanart I did not to long ago, and that was nice to draw, but in the end im not improving. Im standing in one place, waiting for something that will never happen. Juts watching videos on youtube or arts on DA and telling myself ill never will draw like this. Thats depressing....but when I saw this video some small light showed up and I hope it stay for long. From now on I try to do some sketches every day, just draw anything, and maybe that will help...maybe my willingness will return, and them you see more of my work not just fanarts.
