Two day weekends are so nice, it's amazing what a difference fourty-eight hours makes relative to twenty-four.
It was weirdly warm most of the day, though, which made the fall atmosphere rather hard to enjoy. 80-degreee weather with acorns on the ground is never fun.
I spent most of my day drawing a flower, I'm trying to repeat a technique I did previously that uses both ink and acrylic, preferably without it looking weird, once again, and after that, spent several hours uploading some sketchbook pages to my website. I've got all the original works I want finished (minus one or two I'm still thinking on), but haven't ginned up the pages or links for my fannish stuff, yet. I reckon I'll do that tomorrow, after a bit of sleep.
My favorite out of the lot, for what it's worth:
Imagebox does not like loading high-detail images with any speed, so it may take a bit.
Frankly, this is a finished work, and really should go in my finished-work section, but I think of it as a "sketch", even if I did go overboard, in the end, so into the for-fun, incomplete, and doodle section it goes.
Layering colored inks over a greyscale underlayer is so easy to mess up, but looks so good when I get it right - I wish had the bravery to try stuff like this more often.
I forgot to mention this on my website proper, but this has also been lightly edited in procreate - not a lot, but there's an overlay layer at low opacity there to pull some of the yellow out. My lights are are tinted, which is great for everyday living but much less fun when you're trying to take pictures of your art. Everything gets this sepia look to it that isn't actually there IRL, and needs at least a little filtering to really look right.
I don't know why, but making the individual pages I hold my artworks on is by far the most annoying and least fun portion of building my website. It's basically all copy/paste, so it's not like I'm working all that much, it's just not very fun.
I also need to re-work the basic template I'm using, since it's by far the oldest portion of my site that's still live and in-use, but that would mean actively pulling and swapping out well over a dozen different files, so I keep putting it off.
