My tablet's pressure sensitivity has been broken for so long. Since before I went overseas. So more than a year.
Today I found out it isn't broken at all. There was just some stupid, obscure setting that was wrong. I HAVE BEEN DRAWING WITH NO PRESSURE SENSITIVITY FOR OVER A YEAR, FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.
That just goes to show how little I've been drawing this past year, and how much less of a priority it is; so much so that I never properly looked into the problem.
On a brighter note - look forward more frequent and better quality illustrations in the future! Yay!
PS - I'm dressing up as Charlie Chaplin for Halloween.
Just a quick update to let you know that my blog Hello, Lovely is up and running. You can check it out here: [link]
It will be regularly updated with posts on fashion, illustration and design, as well as the progress of my own personal illustration and design projects. Drop by and leave me a comment if you have the time!
Sorry for the lack of updates; I have a massive art-block right now. Not even an art block, really, but just a sentiment of absolutely hating everything I draw. Lately, I've been training myself to draw more loosely and quickly. I find it very difficult, as I'm used to such precise and controlled drawing. Oh well, I'm going to keep practicing.
Not much has been going on for me right now. I'm just searching for work, but there aren't many jobs in my industry right now (digital design) and it's very competitive. Still doing freelance illustration on the side to make rent and eat.
I'm planning another backpacking trip and I'm really torn. I want to go back to Colombia and live for a year or so, but then I'd also really love to backpack around India, Cambodia, Vietnam and Loas for a few months. I'm actually leaning towards Colombia right now, because I miss everyone there so much!
While I was backpacking around South America I was constantly moving, running around with kids, climbing, treking, horseriding, swimming etc. So I decided to maintain my fitness when I got back to Australia. Since I've been back I've been jogging for 30 minutes, four times a week. I'm also taking Boxercise and Pilates Mat once each a week. I never really had to exercise before, because even though I'm average build, I don't put on weight easily. But I love exercise! It makes me feel less guilty for sitting at a computer all day.
Oh, and I dyed my hair a dark brown colour a couple of week ago. I naturally have blonde hair, but I prefer brown so much more. I think the colour right now is a little too dark, though - my eyes are pale green so it looks a bit freaky. Next time I'm going to go for a medium brown.
