I'm in bed and I can't sleep
My teeth ache
I feel like shit, depressed
I just don't have it in me to draw

What was your resolution?

[Anonymous No.3756912]

>>3756894
You failed? Bah, restart it. Who decides when your year begins anyways? Why aren't there birthday resolutions? You could take a January 8th resolution. Do that, and try not failing again.

[Anonymous No.3756922]

today I learned the anatomy of the knees and legs for around 5-6 hours

feels good but I barely improved my drawing per se, only focused on theory meaning my technique deteriorated or stayed the same

[Anonymous No.3756923]

I just signed a contract to return to work at my old studio. No more warehouse work for me.

[Anonymous No.3756927]

That's good anon. Take care of your back. Mind your wrist too.

Oh if only you knew the things that this job has done to my hands.

But thank you. 2018 was a miserable year. 2019 is already looking better.

[Anonymous No.3757006]

Absolutely disgusting.

[Anonymous No.3757024]

>>3756980
The gloves did nothing. I was scrupulous about wearing them too, since it had happened before.
>>3756982
Chemical primers designed to make ink adhere to plastic and metal. Apparently I am VIOLENTLY allergic to them.

If it doesn't hurt, could you post a video of you peeling off the white bits. It would make for a good animation study.

[Anonymous No.3757034]

Pretty well actually. I've been reaching out more to other artist and making art friends, and collaborating with them. I also have been maintaining a good relationship with art, and it really starting to feel fun again. I also started a character design/ world building project that I'm really quite excited about, and 2 more on the back burner.These were my only three solid resolutions I had. Things are looking up guys.

[Anonymous No.3757084]

>>3757033
I'm afraid I've already peeled off all the dead skin, and it was extremely painful. The worst was my thumb. I've just finished regrowing my fingerprints.

Nothing like trying to draw with my hand all wrapped up in bandages like an 18th century gout victim.

I am so happy to be back doing art for a living.

[Anonymous No.3757090]

Fantastic!
I've been getting up early, drawing every day, and writing personal affirmations to improve my self image

Go to the dentist
Hope you feel better

[Anonymous No.3757118]

>>3757084
anon that's great, hope your hands stay healthy for the rest of your life.

[Anonymous No.3757242]

>>3757118
Aw thanks. So long as I don't touch any more weird chemicals I should be fine.

[Anonymous No.3757259]

>>3757024
if that was me I'd bathe in lotion until the hands had grown back.

[Anonymous No.3757260]

>>3757259
Basically what I did, except it was cortisone cream.

[Anonymous No.3757261]

>>3756894
Slowly fucking up anon. My poster of Ruan Jia’s painting is laughing at me. Totally ngmi.

[Anonymous No.3757272]

I've kept my promise to draw at least half an hour everyday. It's not much but i'm trying to slowly build up my discipline. Also I promised myself three things: finishing studying all of Hyperangle, charles Bargue, and Perspective made easy.

[Anonymous No.3757275]

>making a resolution
Why not constantly better yourself instead of putting it off until January, failing, then putting it off until next January?
You fail one day, do better starting the next day. Fuck new year’s resolutions.

I don't wanna go to the dentist, he'll give me a root canal and it hurts
I'm trying to put it off for as long as possible

[Anonymous No.3757420]

>>3757410
I just had 2 root canals simultaneously, the process itself doesn't hurt aside from the initial anesthetic injection. get a second/third opinion before going through root canal though. and don't go putting it off for months/years the pus from infection will eat your jaw bones.

[Anonymous No.3757423]

>>3757420
I just had a cavity medicated but it keeps hurting especially when I eat something hot. The doc told me I'd have to get a root canal if it hurt, so I know already.

[Anonymous No.3757426]

>>3757423
how long was that cavity filling? if it's just a week or so then let it heal first, don't eat hot/cold on it and use the other side of your mouth. I used to have a filling that is very sensitive for about 2 months before it heals. you can also get an x-ray to see if the canal are infected.

[Anonymous No.3757433]

>>3757426
Something like a week ago, yeah. I really hope it will stop hurting.

[Anonymous No.3757444]

>>3757433
just don't think and dwell too much on it, it actually amplifies the pain. find something to amuse yourself even like games. and you also take painkillers like ibuprofen if it really hurts and you can't sleep at night just don't abuse it too much.

[Anonymous No.3757455]

this is how i imagine every chink and specifically Ruan Jia admirers.

The best part was seeing the little strings of sticky viscous bodily fluids between the raw flesh on either finger.

Or maybe it was when my hand was so swollen I could barely hold a pencil and had to put my hand in ice for two hours just so I could draw.

[Anonymous No.3758563]

[Anonymous No.3758587]

not bad, got more motivation. every winter all my old girlfriends check up on me at once, its pretty hilarious how consistent it is. they reminded me that they loved my art and if theres one thing i should never give up on, its drawing.

Well that's to be expected I suppose.

For the others though, it's nice to think that even if a romance didn't work out, the other person still cares about you in some regard.
