Day 141: Week 21 Summary

I had another "last man standing" kind of week.  First my daughter got a fever, then my son got an ear infection, then my wife had a turn at the fever.  So far I've managed to avoid the bug that's going around but picking up the extra slack around the house ate into my drawing time.

The time I did come by I used to work on gesture drawings and some Yokai watch doodles for my daughter.  It does make me wonder what kind of witch craft you have to know to make colored pencils look good.  Even the expensive ones I have are just a small step above crayons.  The combination of their waxy tips and the grain of my paper makes it nearly impossible to get a smooth consistent color anywhere.

Probably my main motivation for doing this whole drawing bit this late in life is because I want to at least try to spark an interest in my own kids while they are still young.  I fell in love with comics and drawing thanks to my dad drawing my favorite characters, so I'd really like to pass that on.

I don't really have any big goals for the upcoming week, just going to keep putting in the time for now.  I think my daughter wants me to draw Pikachu next so I'll probably play around with that a bit.

* I'm considering Friday to be the end of the week for tracking metrics so that it lines up with my summary posts.

** I had to use a some fuzzy math to figure the page count for some of my Kindle books since they only have location tagging.
