Trying to get back on track...

Hey everyone,

I don't think I can say this enough (nor convince myself that it really is okay...) I apologize in advance that I've once again neglected to keep myself in the loop to update my Deviant Art gallery. I'm ashamed that I suck at keeping personal promises, but yet somehow it doesn't quite apply when the promises are towards others (probably because I relegate myself to avoid being too much a burden on others).

I've started keeping a digitally prepared weekly schedule (updated before each Sunday ends) to *hopefully* better ensure I get my tasks and personal projects active and most importantly of all... DONE. So far it's doing better than me just vocally reminding myself, though there it is still evident that there is definitely room for improvement; which is why, I need to be more strict and greatly enforce myself to get my schedule done. I'm still feeling the effects to pretty severe lack of motivation, but I still want to press on, so I will have to be much harder on myself.

One of the main tasks, which should be no surprise, is trying to get my Deviant Art gallery updated. This includes populating my favorites section (and hopefully the main gallery). In addition to updating, I need to practice more drawing; even though I feel that my drawing talents are still proficient, it could be better honed, especially for the personal art projects I'm in the process of planning. Since I lack a scanner available to scan my work for upload, I'll need to consider very soon to invest in getting a graphics tablet (preferably with WACOM technology). This would definitely assist in the long run because of my future projects which are expected to be very lengthy. Unfortunate that the most ideal one I'd want is a "draw-on-screen" graphics tablet by WACOM which goes for a hefty $2100... (and even better one is priced at $2700 USD) perhaps when I earn more in my part-time job... or win the lottery... who knows... I do want something like this in the future though. For now I'm looking at my options on graphics tablets with WACOM technology or buy a BAMBOO, perhaps a CREATE, but it might take a while for me to draw on the latter; having done primarily paper-based drawings, but it should still be better than drawing with the stupid mouse.

One last thing I'll mention is that I'm in the process of setting up (or I should rephrase... I SHOULD'VE GOTTEN UP) my blog, and I'll be publishing my link once I get all the blog aesthetics done. This also accounts as another task on my schedule. After the blog is set up, I plan to start a Twitter account as well, since both branch very well with one another in terms of amateur journalism.

*I've finished uploading the only 2 artworks I have scanned; however, more line art I am able to scan is unfortunately is left as is for now. But at least, I'm putting in more time to draw and I'm feeling better about it and myself. As for getting a WACOM tablet, that'll be on hold since I suffered a major setback in that my laptop needed to be repaired. So it'll be a while til I am able to get a more accessible option to create digital art and practice it as well. For the time being, I'm going to focus on drawing more and working on my (long overdue) blog.
