I had some personal things come up at the beginning of October that ended up taking over and then I had some work that took over last week. So about 3 weeks. But I've continued learning during that time, just not posting.

Much appreciated! Excited to get back on the grind and level up! The break was good.

Also throwing this out to the bluesky dev gods, but can we *please* get a following feed that leaves out reposts?

I love that my follows are so supportive of others but I'm following them to see their content and I want to support that work.

Clicking "media" on every account is so sloooow.

Definitely was overtaken by some game development tasks for the last bit, but I'm coming back to continue my journey to 100 this week!

Hoping I can make it to 50 by the end of October!

Thank you!

Nice!!! Yeah that sounds good. ❤️

Still Practicing @stillpracticing.bsky.social · 22d

Yesss. Go go go!!! It seems like everyone does an art share, but maybe celebrate by drawing something you've always wanted to draw.

Thank you! I'm by no means an expert. I'm still trying to figure it out, so I appreciate the compliment. ❤️

Thanks for the love on this! Working purely digital has been pretty eye opening for me the last few days and I wish I hadn't hesitated on it so much.

Looking forward to getting more out there and hitting that first 100 followers! 😋

Thanks for coming along on the journey.

Wrapped up my #KaraneInda study from #100Kanojo today.

Made some proportion fixes with liquify and mirrored a hair tail to balance things. Happy with how it came together!

It's the same writer as Aho-Girl! You GOTTA watch. It's so much dumb fun. Same pace of comedy. Just pure wackiness.

Thank you!!! I'm only about halfway through my study of this image of her. So I'll be posting the final result today or tomorrow. But I'm glad you like it so far!

And yes! This manga/show cracks me up. I'm a big fan of silly slap-sticky romances. Kanojo mo Kanojo and Aho-Girl are similarly great.

Working on a study of #KaraneInda from #100Kanojo. Only got about half way I think but was starting to get tired.

Working digitally continues to be fun now that I switched to CSP for iPad.

Partial digital sketch of Karane Inda from “The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You.” Her expression is annoyed or pouty, and her twin braids are tied with bows. Dated 09/25 with initials “SP.”

Okay! Feels like 1 step forward, 1 step back, but I’ll keep working this way for a bit and push on. Thanks for sticking around. I'm learning a lot on this road to 100. 💪

Okay, I swear I set up my CSP and tablet! I'm going to do some digital work today or tomorrow, but wanted to get a quick pencil doodle in!

Probably my favorite plot line for a character in that game. Such an awesome idea. Great job with it!
