Traditional Art

26/02/2024

I decided to use zonelets for my blog because it's a lot neater than me hamming it haha.

I also...hm. I was going to write something here, had a topic floating around in my head but I lost it while doing all of this. Perhaps I'll revisit that when it comes back to me, but for now I'll just talk about what's been going on so far!

Recently, I picked up traditional art again. I’m a digital artist by trade, I haven’t had any time or reason to use traditional mediums. But I’ve been on a long string of ‘fuck it’ since last year, so…

Dug out my copic markers to see if they were still any good, and to my surprise, some still had ink! Some dried out, which is a shame but understandable after what- 7 to 8 years? That’s close to a decade! I bought them when I was still in secondary school…

Anyway, a few did work and that was pretty cool.

Similarly, I tried my dip pen again with black India ink. When I first bought it, I didn’t know how to use any of them! So I just dunked it in my cabinet, never to see the light of day for years until now. Picking it up again, it was…quite simple, actually! Maybe it’s the experience I have now that helped.

A lot of what’s spurring me to do traditional art again is mostly to just clear it out. I have so many things that I bought once on a whim and never used! It’s also incentive for me to uh, stop giving in to the urge to get more art supplies and hobby materials when I don’t actually need it lmao.

Keeps my brain occupied and happy – now that I think about it. Neocities is on the same vein.

I need to talk about how I hop about multiple activities/projects just to keep myself happy one day, Not now though.
