AUGUST  -  (1886, Helen Hunt Jackson)

Silence again. The glorious symphony
Hath need of pause and interval of peace.
Some subtle signal bids all sweet sounds cease,
Save hum of insects' aimless industry.
Pathetic summer seeks by blazonry
Of color to conceal her swift decrease.
Weak subterfuge! Each mocking day doth fleece
A blossom, and lay bare her poverty.
Poor middle-aged summer! Vain this show!
Whole fields of golden-rod cannot offset
One meadow with a single violet;
And well the singing thrush and lily know,
Spite of all artifice which her regret
Can deck in splendid guise, their time to go!

Woah..... I really did not notice, that July is already over now....

Dang what even is time?!

Either way, welcome to another month!
So... for a while now I've been looking at my art and how I am unsatisfied again.

The cell-shading was really cool n stuff, but I realise how I got more a tendency to paint things, through it. So I thought I'd take what I learnt from cell-shading and have some more fun with a half-rendered shading technique ^-^

Other than that I realised how I slowly am sick of working purely digital. I miss my watercolours, inks, markers and hours of just sitting there to get that lineart just right. So expect some more sketchbook- and traditional content!

So yeah! I also want to experiment a bit more... go bolder and not be afraid of trying things out. I've become to comfortable with what I know and only slowly work out of my comfort zone, which is a process I would like to speed up a bit, since I miss studying and practising fundamentals.

I also have two larger projects coming along!
First of all, I'm currently working on the webcomic of "Crystal Bones" which is Cevronds story. I'll keep you updated on the process and probably hype it all up, once I start uploading it to Webtoon hehe
Second of all, I wanted to make a tutorial series, explaining different aspects of my drawing and stylisation, as well as hopefully helping you guys out with your own work ^-^

Either way, that's all I got for now. I am extremely thankful for all your support btw, and just wanted to give yall a big fat THANK YOU.
