Getting myself ready to focus a lot on academic #art and classical #drawing and painting in the near future 😁

After every challenge like this, even if it lasts only a week, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction from actually finishing it.
And the biggest bonus is that now I’m not as afraid of making a bad drawing and sharing it somewhere. Feeling unhappy with yourself and your work still happens sometimes, but the main thing is not to get stuck on it and to keep drawing.

But if you don’t give up and keep reminding yourself that you’re doing it mainly for fun, it becomes much easier.
I don’t choose challenges longer than a month, because I’m pretty sure I would burn out quickly. Right now, I really like the format where I take a short break for a few days after each challenge until I feel ready to dive into something new again.

A little bit about #drawing every day.
Lately, I’ve really started to enjoy different kinds of challenges, like “drawing every day for a month.”
Surprisingly, at first it feels like pressure: you have to draw something every single day. And if you don’t have the energy, inspiration, or everything just turns out wrong - your inner critic immediately grabs a flag and starts a whole parade 😅

A small #sketch with watercolor pencils.
I should probably get some good colored pencils, ones that blend well but don’t crumble.
Which ones are you using now? Are you happy with them? 😊

Yay! I’ve completed my little 30-day #drawing #challenge: drawing without a pencil, straight onto the final piece.
For a long time, I didn’t feel any effect from this exercise: I still had the fear of the blank page, a shaky hand, and tension. Only toward the end did I realize that the practice was actually working.
Of course, I still can’t start and finish a drawing that easily without measuring and construction lines. I guess I’ll need to repeat this challenge a couple more times 😁

Today I didn’t have time to #draw during the day, and in the evening I didn’t have my sketchbook with me. But I decided not to break the rhythm, so I sketched what I saw in the Notes app on my phone, using my finger 😁

A tiny crypto adoption moment from my morning:
I made a Bybit card, added it to Apple Pay, and paid for groceries with it 😁
For a very technical person this may sound boring. But for me, as someone who is not deeply technical, this kind of simplicity matters a lot.
Crypto and #Bitcoin become much more interesting when they stop feeling like something complicated and far away and start working in normal everyday situations.

After I sketched the girl, I decided to add some random strokes to the background, and it only made the #sketch look worse. Tomorrow, I’ll probably skip the spontaneous experiments 🙂

#Watercolor studies from the past couple of months. Before I laid them all out on one surface, it felt like I had painted a lot this winter. But now I’m looking at them and thinking I should probably practice more often 😅

Yesterday was March 8, and I decided to share a little about the haenyeo - female divers from Jeju Island in Korea.
I was inspired by the Korean series When Life Gives You Tangerines, where they are mentioned. It was hard and dangerous work done exclusively by women, who spent decades diving without scuba gear. They gathered seafood to feed their families, but it came at the cost of their health, and many died young.
This profession is still alive today, but very few divers remain.
