Sausage and smoked cheddar grits with a side of day old bread turned into french toast.

Cost per person is weird because I ate so much sausage but if it was evenly distributed in a healthy amount the cost per person would be about $2.18. as shown it's closer to $4.24.

It's not that I was burned out. It's that I was taking part in inktober and that was consuming all of my available draw time. This particular drawing started during then and is only working on a little bit at a time. Next week I have to be back to Sunday edits.

Ah! So how did the latest Inktober go for you, if I may ask?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I haven't really drawn much of anything in years other than the occasional Celtic knot or D&D critter. I picked up the necessary supplies to get back in just before inktober started and then I found out it existed so I decided it would be a good crash course for finding areas I need improvement on and cram in a lot of practice on a schedule.

Overall it was a success. I need to loosen up a lot. I need to work on figure drawing and faces.

Huh! Well right on!

I need to loosen up a lot. I need to work on figure drawing and faces.

Huh, that's a bit reminiscent for me. One thing that kinda fluffed with my head is that early on, people told me that "you're smart, and you're talented at art," but for some reason I chose to try to follow my Dad and step-dad in to STEM careers, completely outside of my domain. Me being absolutely dreadful in maths... I predictably crashed & burned.

But in terms of art, I neglected to get trained, and tried to 'figure it all out' myself. Goldang stoopidest decision I ever made in my life, but it also taught me something that my masters had realised long before, and it goes something like this-- "in the arts, you absolutely MASTER the technicalities, buddy, and THEN you learn how to unleash yourself with a savageness, ultimately producing a legit, new form."

Oof, something like that, anyway. :S
