rynlingShanah tova! New year, new art goals:
(1) I've got three September 15 deadlines. If I can manage to make them, my art and comics will appear in print!
(2) I'd like to create a font from my handwriting using Calligraphr. I think this is free, and it seems fairly easy.
(3) I want to learn how to make animated GIFs, which also seems fairly easy. I'd like to start with steam rising from a cup of tea.
(4) If I get accepted to table at DC Zinefest, I'll print my "Growth" comic as a minizine.
(5) I want to create a new botanical sticker design to go with it, which I'll print even if I don't end up printing the minizine.
(6) I want to polish the two character designs for An Unfound Door, ideally in collaboration with a professional artist.
I haven't really thought beyond that. Maybe I want to draw ghost Pokémon for Halloween? Put a lot of love and care into a botanical illustration for Yule? Figure out how to draw isometic interiors? Maybe finally figure out perspective instead? Idk idk idk. It's tough when my creative ideas are all completely beyond my skill level, but I am doing my best.
