When I see a snail I always wonder where it comes from. You weren't on this wall five minutes ago, how did you get here, my little friend?🐌

I've been feeling quite badly about my art lately. Drawing these snails healed something inside my brain. I want to thank my bf for suggesting them when I said out loud that I didn't know what to draw. People, go draw some snails! They're fun!

#snails are so cute #i feel so sad when I accidentally step on them #snails #my art #artists on tumblr #illustration #art #sketchbook #traditional art #sketch

Today I saw a moth while cleaning the windows, a snail on my way back home and a rhinoceros beetle in my courtyard.

It's a nice day🪲🐌

Tiny, tiny kitten, does not know anything

The eternal cycle of planning a sculpture to use some leftover air dry clay, only to realise that I might need to buy a new pack because it's not enough clay for what I have in mind, thus leading me to plan another sculpture to finish the new clay, only to realise that it's not enough

Maybe I should go for something simpler.

Thank you so much for the tag @shivunin! I'm including non-fandom things as well, as much as I can share :3

Drawing

I have one exchange piece to do which I'm excited about. Pondering on which of the prompts to follow and getting infos and ideas, right now.

I want to finish a Morriwarden piece. One over 2 pages are almost done I hope to finish it today (bank holiday yay).

I'm wishing to stick in a birthday gift in the middle. Hopefully I can make it.

An illustration for work. I'm illustrating movies explaining one specific emotion to post on instagram, this time it's Breakfast at Tiffany's. I did sketches and am not sure over which one to finalize. Saw the movie again and Paul Varjak just fell with Andy's boyfriend in my category of "terrible movie partners".

Homework for school. We're into environment design, the theme we must follow is "Milan". I'm trying to reimagine Gorani Tower, one of the last medieval building in town in a post-apocalyptic desertic setting. I won't be able to show it, but I can talk about it.

Too many 3d projects to correct :"D

A new school project is starting on Tuesday and I have the feeling I'll be asked to take care of the 2D part once more, LOL. (fine with me, honestly)

Writing

I have an outline for the next DadWolf chapter and started to write it. We're in future Redcliffe, and exploring how it differs from the game one, and what changes if science bros have more ties to the whole endeavour is juicy. I'm proceeding slow because I want to do things right, and I need some more planning.

Trying to finish another chapter for Helping Hand (a collection of random pieces exploring some very early cullavellan approaching each other (in friendship still) and learning to appreciate the other past differences. All tied to medical stuff.

I'd like to write something more about Niamh and Cicero past last year's Winter festivities fic, but I'd need an idea for something brief and inspiration still hasn't struck.

I'd like to sit down and write some Morriwarden, but eh. Again, inspiration hasn't struck.

Tagging: @salsedinepicta @cute-ellyna @diesvitae @raflesia65 @zaahvi @wickedsnack-art @nerilefou (hi!) @nananarina @bumblerhizal @fenharel-apologist94 @bygonesigh and YOU reading!

Thank you @nerilefou, I always enjoy being tagged in this sort of things <3

Drawing

I've done five sketches for some practice illustrations for my portfolio. I don't like them at all but I'm pushing through because perfectionism is ruining my life and I need to challenge that

The more I draw, the more I realise that I don't know anything. It's disheartening. but I'm trying to re-frame all of that as a challenge and as a chance to keep discovering something new everyday.

I'm drawing fanart of me and my cat Otto because I can. He's my little old man and deserves to be portrayed any time I can

I should really finish a bunch of WIPs, I always forget to. I'm looking at you, giant drawing of my bf's cat stealing a whole fish from the counter (based off a true story)

I'd love to work on some sticker designs, prints etc. and I'd also like to record some sketchbook tours. I've been wanting to for quite a while, but I always put it off out of fear. FEAR SUCKS, JUST DO THE THING

I want to do some studies focused on values and maybe some anatomy stuff as well

Everything else

Reading all the comics and books I've bought recently. There's no room left on my shelves. I have a growing pile of books on my nightstand, it's the first thing I see when I wake up. Equal amounts of fascinating and scary. One day it will all collapse on my head, what a way to leave this earth

Thinking about it, I want to live, I should really look at some new bookcases. Something with sliding doors and glass panes, possibly a warm wood. Impossible dreams in my budget

I'm working on befriending some kittens. Their very feral mother decided to birth them in my garden and I really want to make them used to the presence of humans. I dream of finding them a new home. I can't describe how cute they are, they are eleven days old as of now

I want to visit a local botanical garden with my friends. I heard that you can taste some pretty good tea there. It's a physiological need, at the base of my own pyramid. Tea first, sleep and food later

And that's it, I have to stop as I have to go back to my boring day job. Let's proceed with the tags @tentacleburnout @kyacchan-comics @valevntine @ixylapescamagicah and anyone else who'd like to tag along :)

Byeeee

Sorry, your email can't find me, I'm ascending somewhere else listening to Tomora's debut album

#tomora #aurora music #aurora aksnes #aurora #come closer #somewhere else #tom rowlands #altergioia thinks too much

Basking in the sunlight, I'm looking at a swallow doing graceful stunts in the sky, the latter being so intensely blue that it almost looks unreal. Bells are ringing loudly: it's midday.

Sometimes living is just so magical.

#altergioia thinks too much

I've disappeared for a bit, I don't even know how. I guess I was trying to live life for a bit? Idk

Little pic of Gino with two drawings I've made of him. I don't know if he's displeased or just confused. He also sat on my sketchbook while I was working on the right page, he was purring loudly and demanding adequate amounts of attention.

What have I been up to?

- I've been to Switzerland for a week to visit my boyfriend's family. My first time in the snow, I really miss it

- I'm witnessing interesting horrors beyond my comprehension but I'm trying to build tools to keep my soul alive

- I'm job hunting and that's scary and depressing in equal amounts

- I'm momentarily back to my old job so at least I have something to do as I look for a new one

- I feel kinda sick, not sick enough to go to a doc and stay in bed but not well enough to have energy to do things. Just kinda sick

- I'm slowly working on my portfolio. Too slowly but better than nothing

That's it, I guess

Writing a resume is a special type of hell. You search for some tips online, thinking they will make your life easier, and you see people writing "add this, write it like this" only to see someone else say to "absolutely avoid that or you'll die jobless and unloved"

What the fuck am I supposed to do, why is teaching my parents how to use their phones much easier than any of this? HOW???

Anyway, if you survived my rant, here's a little bonus from my tiny sketchbook:

I'm not sketching much as I'm trying to force myself to fight my fears and work on some portfolio pieces. I'm tired of not achieving anything, I want my dreams to come true but I need to fight my ghosts first. Kinda hard but also kinda fun eheh 🌞

#i hate resumes so much argh #doing all of this just in the hope to get a part time job wish me luck #toad #artists on tumblr #illustration #sketchbook #sketch #my art #sketchbook page

Every time I sit and think "o should work on my portfolio" I end up getting sick. First bronchitis in December, now a nasty stomach flu with fever. I'm starting to think that something somewhere doesn't want me to create. Too bad I'll do that anyway once I get better eheh

Museum sketches!🏛️✨

My boyfriend and I started the week with a spontaneous little trip to the province. Drawing statues from life was so fun. All the different halls were so quiet, perfect for silently going insane with a pen on paper. I really love how ancient Romans sculpted hair on their statues, the waves and the curls always look so good! I'm still feeling a bit existential from looking at artifacts that have existed for much longer than my mind can comprehend.

I spent the night before the trip carefully choosing my supplies, only to end up using just a blue pen. My backpack was too bulky, I had to leave it in the luggage storage of the museum. Once I got back home I looked at the pages and they felt a bit too white. I slapped on some colour with my trusty highlighters, stuck the ticket with some tape and done.

Go to museums! They're fun and full of references!
