Seems like I lost the point where my life got super challenging (but in a good way:)

Hi, guys!
So, everything goes fine at the moment, and I decided till I'm waiting for my guru to create a comic book tutorial I'll focus on my Eysy shop. My mom went to study on classes for on-line shops managers, and at the moment it feels like a dream come true - I never was good at keeping an eye on a shop. Or even at running it. Or even... Well, I always failed on the very beginning, it's too hard for me to fill the papers and try to understand how everything works. Actually it makes me really sad even seeing papers that I have to fill, hate those.

So now, when I have a person in my life who wants and who's ready to do the management - it's really a great luck and a great relief. I need to do what I do best - draw the pictures. And all the rest is not my problem anymore. Of course it's a source of inspiration - knowing, that I won't have to place these pictures to the market by myself.

When the shop will be already working I'll share the link.

But hey, what happens to my year plan with all of this??

It seems like I have three huge projects to create. First of all - my comic book. A great piece of work, and the further I move with it - the more horizons open, and the more I understand, that it's really huge and will take a lot of effort to get to the end. At the moment I got stuck with this "character turn around" thing, but it's a piece that needs to be done. When I talked to my illustration guru she said that this needs to be done not only because I have to develop my characters before I start drawing the book, but also to find out, if I will get sick of a particular character when I'll draw him for 10 times. 100 times. 1000 times. It's a comic book, come on, and the characters have to be drawn over and over again, the same ones.

Actually I already know that there will be a character that I will not like. As a character, I mean. But the plot requires it, and if I'll make a plot only of characters that I enjoy - it will be creepy, and it will ruin the story. They all will be quite the same, and there will be nothing interesting about them.

Second - on the 15th of May my drawing classes start. I failed with concept art classes (well, not exactly me, but more our teacher. I went to lots of drawing classes and never before I've seen a teacher who was such a pain in the ass). So I asked the manager to switch me to another class, another group, as far away from this idiot as possible, and they fulfilled my request. So I will study on an illustration course, and it will last for 6 months, and it's also quite a piece of work.

And the last, but not the least - my Etsy shop. It needs to be updated regularly, my guru says - at least once a week, so I need to put effort there too.

It's considered that it's ideal to have not more, than two big projects at a time. OK, I have three of them, and a brain that is really unstable. I hope I'll find a way to manage with all of this and still keep my sanity with me.

Some process again today, this time - of this stump:
