Set myself a schedule, in a multi-faceted attempt to learn more/practice/use my time better/ show some self-control/stop goofing off and wasting money.
Every other day, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday is drawing practice. So, I better be uploading some stuff fairly regularly.

Again.
For being a slacker. For not posting anything for almost two weeks now. For not drawing anything in almost two weeks.
I've just been so tired from work, and life, and trying to keep getting by...
Inktober was a bust after the 17th day, I got so disheartened with the time I had to work in, as usual, that I gave up.
You really can get better if you really practice, but you HAVE TO PRACTICE and I need to practice. Try what I can't do, go where I'm scared to, don't do what you know to.
So maybe if I catch my muse again I can put something up, but it will likely be practice. I need tutorial review, anatomy basics, lips, hair, clothes....
Bear with my true believers.
Plowing through some fog.

Hope everyone is having fun, I was planning on going to DragonCon this year, but the money dried up way before it even arrived.
My son got married on the 27th of August and I couldn't even afford to make that trip. Being a working class American really sucks, you will work your entire life, hard work, and very few of us ever have anything to show for it by the time we retire.
Uurrrrgghhhh!!
Anywhom, before I start ranting, I just wanted to say I LOVE YOU GUYS to all the people and fellow Deviants who keep liking, sharing, and just acknowledging my work. I know I'm not very good, but I enjoy drawing a lot, and it makes me very happy when someone likes my stuff.

I will be spending the brunt of this weekend getting to know PS6 and maybe Illustrator. I really need to learn how to do some of this digital stuff.
Though I don't have a tablet, I did get an inexpensive pen mouse that seems to work okay, I just had to slow the mouse settings down on the PC.
So, yeah, looking forward to learning something new, and hopefully not getting too frustrated! LOL!
All part of the process, if you haven't screamed, cried, or thrown your art, your not trying!

    Just wanted to catch everyone up. I do plan on following through with the Mare Madness that I announced a while back, once again my regular job ( you know, the one that covers all of everything) is kicking my behind daily keeping me from arting as much as I'd like to.
So I'm behind. Again. I know, tighten up Siberian.
    That being said, hopefully I'll catch up this weekend. I have two whole days off, and the shift changes up to 2nd (2pm - 11pm) so I can draw even on Monday!
Here is my list of the characters I plan on trying out, and I'd like to draw them as I feel and not just parrot the canonical style.
1) Se1/05 Granny Smith
2) Se1/11 Mayor Mare
3) Se1/01 Apple Fritter
4) Se2/01 Cheerilee
5) Se2/18 Matilda (mule)
6) Se2/26 Chrysalis
7) Se3/15 Trixie!!  (Insider secret: Trixie is my waifu!)
8) Se3/12 the Mustang pony from Mustangia
9) Se3/12 Ms. Harsh Whinny
