I woke up after a mediocre night of sleep ready to tackle the day today! And fell flat on my face. I don’t know what happened.
It feels like all of the life was just sucked out of me, which doesn’t make much sense. I actually slept decent-ish last night, my heart rate was low, my HRV was back to normal, and I still felt like I had a head full of cotton today.
I tried napping, which was a success on the sleep part, but didn’t help my energy levels at all.
Still, I had a fairly successful day with my Weekly Review, TONS of studying, and hitting my “floor” for art today.

You can tell I had no energy and focus while I was working on my warmup for the day.

I still managed to make some progress on the long pose I’m working on. More rendering, tightening the hand and the face, and a little bit of work on the hair.
And a tiny bit of work on my client’s design for tomorrow, which I forgot to save before I left the cabin.
What went well?
- Not breaking the chain.
- Catching up just in time with my client drawings.
- Plenty of study time.
What needs work?
- My energy and focus.
What did I learn?
Today I was learning a lot about mindset when it comes to networking and collaboration. I’m excited to bring high-quality people into my life!
