Hey guys! Just making a quick lil' journal to let you all know that my next commission batch will be opening on the: 13th of FEBRUARY. I'm leaving next Thursday for a trip to Brazil and returning on the 11th of Feb, so I want to open my commission the first Sunday back which is a couple days after. I also want to make up got my December and January break so expect another big batch! Thank you guys so much! I'll post reminders closer to the date!

Happy New Year to you all! Hope you all had wonderful holidays and will have an even better and healthier 2022! I thought I'd write a journal and give a few updates about my plans for 2022 in regards to my art and commissions. First of all, I'm still currently in Spain right now with my bf visiting his relatives, we are HOPING to go home on the 5th, why I say "hoping" i will explain later in the journal. So for that reason I havent really been drawing much lately as I've been busy. Now, about commissions. Commissions will of course continue, and I plan to open my next batch sometime in FEBRUARY. I have about 3 weeks back in the UK until we leave again for Brazil end of January, and I'd rather use those three weeks to try to work on my own art. Last year was a huge struggle to work on personal art, as I was spending nearly all my motivation on commissions and had none left for my own art. But I'm really hoping to change that this year, maybe playing around with schedules, being a bit more disciplined, etc. For the most part I dont think my commission schedule will change, since that's literally my job, my income, and helps me pay for my bills. But I may take a little longer on batches (3-4 weeks rather than 2 weeks working on batches) so that I can have time to work on my own art inbetween. I'll probably try schedules like that and see what works, but I hope to find a good balance of commission work and personal work. I really want to draw more this year, and especially improve my human drawings. Its my main goal for 2022 and I hope I can find a schedule that helps me balance it all. I'll of course make another journal with exact dates to when I will open my February batch, right now I'm not sure when it'll be, but it will be Feb. On another note, regarding my current situation. My bf tested positive for covid yesterday. He is thankfully fine and only has mild cold symptoms. I tested negative (not sure if I am lucky or tested too soon) but regardless we are hoping we test negative before we travel next week so we can go home. Its been a great trip and I've really needed this break, but I miss my kittens, and I'm ready to go home and start my art journey for 2022. We are of course currently isolating, so might spend these last few days trying to draw. Not exactly the start we wanted to the year, but I won't let it put me down because there's an entire year of good things and and progress to be made and I'm honestly looking forward to working with you guys again for commissions, AND being able to work on my own projects inbetween. Hope you guys are well! Thank you as always for your support. Hopefully 2022 will be a blessed year full of positive things!! ♡
