Hello Hello!
Last Friday I learned that I won third place! in the July intern video challenge!!! I won a whole $75 Amazon giftcard. And now, am I trying to limit my Amazon purchases because I despise the entity that is Jeff Bezos and thinks his workers deserve more? Yes. However, this money is already allotted to me, so I may as well use it for necessary stuff I need in the future.
We are continuing the inking of the coloring book. It’s super fun for me to draw, if a little challenging. Here is what it looks like as I ink. And then usually at some point while I’m drawing I’ll turn the sketch layer off to see if I like what I’ve done without the sketch underneath.
The biggest challenge I experienced this week!!!! Has been the hardest challenge of the summer haha! Hurricane Isaiah has swept the East Coast and caused a lot of damage for everyone, luckily my house and neighborhood just saw a lot of wind, like a LOT of wind, but at 4:30 on Tuesday afternoon my power went kapoot. And it continued to stay out until Thursday 4:20 am lol. Almost 36 hours. We don’t have a generator, my mom was actually able to get one on Wednesday afternoon but it only brought power to our fridge and freezer and a few outlets. And at that point the workday was kind of over.
Luckily I don’t need wifi for a lot of my work, the drawing part can be done without it, but emails, meetings, downloading fonts from the internet, looking up references on the internet, working on a computer that needs power with no power, trying to work in 90 degree heat without a fan, are all more difficult things. But I did the best work I could in the circumstances and after the initial grumbling in the morning getting things sorted, it turned into a good day.
For this upcoming week I’m going to try and come up with some illustrations for the CHris website, and continue inking this bad boy out, and attend part of the Flock conference this weekend.
I hope you are all having a great week!
