It’s been quite a crazy month.
I went home for two weeks … now I am staying for at least two months.
UK’s incredible, breathtaking, never seen in history measures (because they were non-existent) to deal with the upcoming pandemic were the reason I had to stay in quarantine alone for two weeks.
My extroverted personality went from “I need time for myself anyway, I can do yoga and draw” to “Jesus Christ I need people I am physically ill without human interactions.” So this post is about my mood swings expressed in my sketches/doodles/illustrations.
I bought a new marker, and I am trying to push myself to experiment more with shape and style by drawing without an outline. It is addictive, and I had to buy more paper because I was running low on it. Luckily, the best art shop is still open – because art is a necessity ya all. Enjoy:
In the second week, I decided to turn some of the sketches into illustrations. I called them “Love in Time of C(holera)orona” – spread love, not germs.
And finally, some random illustrations I made in the last days:
Now I am home, living with my parents for the first time in 5 years. Not gonna lie, now I started appreciating my quarantine.
I am learning to animate on procreate, but it is harder than it seems. I still can’t make it smooth, and it takes me a long time to make the character’s movement. What is more, I can’t work on different layers, and it makes coloring and adding additional elements harder.
Salt and Peaches,
