#right now the gold pops wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much and is a bit distracting

[dawntheduckrb]

I don't wanna fight exporting a half done picture so here's a picture of my tablet I took with my phone (very scuffed lol, I know)

Long post 🦆

Alright, I do not like moping for long time when physical ailment strikes, so today I:

went and got a brace to keep my thumb still when I'm not using it

looked up a couple extra stretches for my wrist

set a timer on everything I did to be no longer than an hour

finally applied that "drawing from the shoulder" thing my professors try to hammer in

And, as of right now, I feel much better than I did 24 hours ago :D it's definitely still hurting a little, but I don't think I'm gonna have to take more than the recommended amount of ibuprofen and drown my hand in ice just to go to sleep now haha. I'm still very mad this even happened >:( buut freaking out about it last night made me extra proactive about it today, so all is well (relatively)

I was able to work on that project today, I'm very excited to show it off so here's a progress picture :3. I'm only just now realizing I made the left eyebrow/hand shorter than the right lol. Ran out of time for the feathers on the coat, but I think it's in a good spot right now. I only had the face drawn when I picked it back up today, so I made a decent amount of progress. I can't make any clean lines right now (see above), so this is really still just a draft. Hopefully I'll get it done by Monday night!

Last thing; I learned that clip studio can actually record time lapses for you, and doing it this way didn't freak out my computer, so voila (flashing lights cw, I flashbang myself a lot by accidentally removing the background):

It took me so long to draw out the top lol (I made his face really fluffy, and idk yet if I'm gonna keep that change or not)

#i got my sads out yesterday so today with filled with productive spite #i have also stopped using my thumbs to type when i text/reply to people on this hellsite #i look like a dumbass pecking at my phone with my pointer finger but i'm a dumbass who can finally draw >:) #oh yeah my personal goal was to be more intentional about my colors #trying to make something a bit more vibrant for once #and only picking colors based on a color scheme #indigo looks more purple when put up against a ton of blue (i think????) #and yellow is a complimentary color to blue #so everything will be close to blue and very dark #while the few areas that were gold are going to be a lot brighter #i think in the final version all of the shadows need to be blue; even for the gold areas #right now the gold pops wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much and is a bit distracting #or maybe i just make it less bright #i just need to mess with it a bit more i think #not rb
