There was an extremely severe thunderstorm last night, which kept the entire family up pretty late. I would have slept through it if not for my daughter needing comfort, which I’m glad I was able to give.
But…yeah. It feels like I’m going on day 500+ of no sleep, even though I’ve had a night or two of good sleep over the past couple of weeks.
Today was also an early day at the studio, with a long break between shop meeting and my tattoo, so I did some sketching in the mean-time:
Then knocked out a kid’s first tattoo — his mother got it for him for this 18th birthday:
Finally, I did some writing when I made it home for the night.
What was awesome?
Not breaking the chain.
Remember Reilly rhythms for quicksketch. I forgot how useful they were. I just started dropping some lines in while I was sketching today and things seemed to pull together.
I should probably study more Reilly head drawing…
What needs work?
Sleep. I need more sleep. A lot more sleep. My sketching suffers immensely when I don’t get a good night’s rest.
What did I learn?
As long as I set my priorities…then I can take it from there.
