Half a Year

I have to say, 2020 has been a weird year.  I mean, it is an election year after all.  But the way it's gone so far is headache inducing.  Between the pandemic scare, riots, division, and goodness knows what else the rest of the year holds, all I can do is sip my iced coffee and watch the world burn.  

In the process of watching everything go up in smoke, I'm still taking the time to draw.  Unfortunately, many of my sketches had to take a backseat due to work and school demands.  Even the requests from DeviantArt got pushed to the back burner.  Comics I started? Those are still on the shelf too! Half the trouble was zero consistency at work, and being bombarded with extra coursework during the spring semester.  But thankfully, my manager worked with me on changing my availability to permanent closer, which leaves the mornings open (at least for the summer) to do the fun stuff: gardening, drawing, filming videos for YouTube, and knitting/crocheting. 

Currently, some new drawings made their way into my sketchbook.  I have two different toned papers I love drawing on, and only ever reserve for masterpieces.  The latest one that was filmed is Simple Moment, which oddly got a dislike - whatever.  Simple Moment is part of a series of Looney Tunes fan art drawings that continued from my county college days.  The idea was to publish a bunch of one- or two-page scenarios between the Looney Tune original characters and my own characters.  The concepts are still in my head - just need to be revisited and revised at some point. 

So that's all I have for today! If you haven't been on my Gigi's Sketches Facebook page, then go check it out! I post my best drawings and crazy doodles on there, along with other fun artsy stuff.  Hop on over and give the page a like!

Until next time!
