February, Helen Hunt Jackson (1886)

Still lie the sheltering snows, undimmed and white;
And reigns the winter's pregnant silence still;
No sign of spring, save that the catkins fill,
And willow stems grow daily red and bright.
These are the days when ancients held a rite
Of expiation for the old year's ill,
And prayer to purify the new year's will:
Fit days, ere yet the spring rains blur the sight,
Ere yet the bounding blood grows hot with haste,
And dreaming thoughts grow heavy with a greed
The ardent summer's joy to have and taste;
Fit days, to give to last year's losses heed,
To reckon clear the new life's sterner need;
Fit days, for Feast of Expiation placed!

Oh boy, did January go by in a fly. Noticed rather late that we've started another month xDD

Anyways, I hope you like the Artbook so far! Didn't quite get to finish Leaves yet (two more chapters to go QwQ), but.... that'll be done before the end of february.

What else do I have planned art-wise for this month? Several things:
- Finishing all challenges, requests, etc. by the end of the month
- Doing more sketch-drawing on my tablet that I can record and then post on YouTube
- Migrating my artblog over into my artbook (since I have the feeling that I'll reach a larger audience over here)
- Creating more tutorials for the ArtClub
- Starting a "How to Bullet Journal" series on the ArtClub account, as well as share some of my Journalling ideas and methods in Jade ^-^

So yeah. A lot of things to look forward too, but also a small thing I'd like to say:
I probably won't be drawing as much in february as in january, since I want to focus more on school and my writing. I still will draw (mostly requests, etc. and characters from the story) but I might not sit down everyday for a few hours and draw, so be prepared for less chapters with finished drawings and more WIPs ^-^
