Hello!
Few weeks ago I mentioned that I deleted and stopped using Twitter for good.
Well I ended up creating a new account and just follow artist, and brands that I enjoy following.
It’s still off my phone and I will never download it there again! Only using it on the desktop. I even made sure I could block it on the web.
And the biggest reason for all this is because many companies like Procreate, Escape Motions among other is still on there. And I wanna know what they are up to.
But then I came up with that really cool idea. Let’s see how much I can grow it during this year.
So when I started this challenge on January 5, I had 4 followers. As of this writing its…..
But then. Last Monday of January Twitter suspends me out of the blue. And I’m still suspended til this day. With no respond on why they did it.
Well no hurt feelings, just a good reason to just stop 🤣
❄️My Wacom Cintiq Is Breaking on Me
I own the Cintiq Pro 24. Bought it at the end of 2018, same year it came out. For a very expensive price. *(Notice recently that price is even higher today)*
But after I got my new Macbook I have started to notice something very annoying. That the line doesn’t stay straight. Its get a small curve to it.
So reached out to support about it. And they say it is a hardware problem. And because my warranty is gone, I have to pay almost 300€ for repair and even more for shipping… To Germany….
I could just go and buy a new Huion Pen Display with the same amount of money.
So no I will not send it away. I will keep using it until it gets worse. Sucks that it start messing with me 5 years after I bought it.
And when I spoke to the support it felt like this is a common problem. Because they never asked me to try different cables, re-install drivers etc. Those steps they ALWAYS tell you to do. (Pretty annoying)
But once I said I can’t sent it back. The support guy becomes silent. Not even a ”hey try this might get it work for little longer” or ”Ah I understand”. Nothing…. Kind of rude. Because he was really annoying about the papers on when I bought it…
Didn’t want to tell me before hand what was the problem until I gave him the papers…
I have already started to look at replacement. Been thinking of a Huion. But also another brand called Xencelabs. But that brand is on the same price level as Wacom. So we will see about that.
❄️My Art Journey
Do you know what?
This week I signed my very first NDA!
Maybe this is the year something is about to happen with my art journey! 😁
Wait a second. Did I just break the NDA, by mention it ? 😱
Also the group training is no go anymore. I got panic attack before getting there, so no I don’t wanna have those feelings before doing something I do enjoy.
Will reach out to a physiotherapist for a different route. Don’t wanna give it up! I want to reduce my Anxiety and Depression!
Other than that I have been working on the Beginner Drawing course over at ArtWod. Been doing those Perspective stuff. 3 Point perspective is still my enemy, but I’m getting there!
Working traditional with this because:
1. I want to stay away from the screens more.
2. because I want to be able to do it both traditional and digital.
And not just relay on the digital fancy stuff. Perspective guides, etc.
But this week I entered a breakdown. Started to cry and just felt very useless. Like I forgot everything I have learned so far. Not knowing what programs to use.
Or what kind of rendering style I should try to focus on.
I will write more about it at a later date.
Sometimes I just hate having a different working brain….
❄️The World of Urban Sketching
I have never been doing Urban Sketching. But I have lately wanted to try it out. But never done it.
This books will change that big time!
So much inspiration by so many artist around the world!
So many different styles and more! Gosh I love this book a lot.
And it’s perfect for people that is into Urban Sketching as well as those who want to get started!
This is not a how to book. But they do show small step-by step here and there.
