Day 174: Hairflip

I'm feeling a bit better about my trip this weekend. I still have so much to do! I gotta print up Sometimes Foodie business cards for the event, and pick out my outfits, a pack in general, and blarrrrg. Okay, time to calm down and make to-do lists. I'm a list maker, making lists and crossing things off them makes me feel so much better. Is that normal? Or do I have like some kind of list-related anxiety?

Day 173: Not a Clue

Oh my god. I'm freaking out so badly.

So I've been running my food blog, Sometimes Foodie, for almost 4 years now, and this past year it has gotten a lot more attention. I'm collaborating with other food bloggers, I'm doing a food related podcast, and Youtube videos, and now I'm going to a food industry event in New York!

This has kind of been in the works for a while, and I've been stalking the event website for months. I applied for a press pass, and I got in! Look at me being a member of the press.

The only downside is that when I had this whole idea, I was with someone, and I figured they'd be going with me and traveling to New York, and staying with me at the hotel. But now, things are different, and it'll just be me all alone going to NY with public transportation and staying in the room and eating all the food. It feels a bit lonely to do all that, and a bit scary to be honest, but I can do it. Due to my awful sense of direction I'll get lost a bit, but I'll eventually get there.

URGGGG I'm still freaking out. I'll feel better when I'm in the hotel this weekend. It's the journey that's freaking me out, not the event itself. I just gotta figure out how to get to the hotel from here. That's all. It's not that hard, right?

Day 170: Weird Hair

If I don't sleep, the day never ends, right? It's 5:30 in the morning right now. My sleeping schedule is so fucked. (Pardon my language.)

The hair here is what I've been doodling on my little witch character. The idea behind it is that I have several chunks of hair that feel really nice, nicer than other frizzier parts, so I imagine leaving only the soft sections and cutting out all the frizz.

Day 169: WItchy Woman

I think I might make some mini prints featuring this witchy little woman. I was thinking of adding "Hexes not Exes," at the bottom and making a final version of this as a print and stuff.

Day 165: Let's forget yesterday's post ever happened, okay? Okay.

I put more effort into tonight's drawing to make up for the abomination I posted yesterday. I'm not the type of person to typically have a celebrity crush, but Kit Harington, and his adorable black-sheep-like hair, has a special place in my heart.

Day 163: Nickles

Not even 24 hours later, and I am 5 episodes deep into the new season of Orange is the New Black. I gotta stop and pace myself!

Day 158: Comfy and Cozy

I really need to figure out what I am doing with my hair. I wear it up in a lazy bun 90% of the time. I need to hack it off and force myself to do something with it.

Also, WTF Game of Thrones, right? I spent the last hour screaming at the TV. Not even words. Just screaming. Thank god the finale is next week. I don't know how much more I can take. I am really hoping Orange is the New Black will not be horrifically depressing right off the bat. I need some good TV that won't horribly depress me.

Day 155: A Rare Man Doodle

Another fill an awkward empty sketchbook spot doodle. Based on Jaime Lannister, but it doesn't really look like him. At least not the actor that plays him in the TV show. The nose is all wrong. Oh well, I'm still pretty happy for a random pen doodle done at 1:32 AM in the morning.

Day 152: Doodle Dump Break

I was having a really hard time focusing today, so I did a few really random doodles instead. I really like the evil looking little cat-thing, but the Pizazz-Jasper was a lot of fun too. I even used some color pencils on it.

Day 149: WIP

Working on a little Jem and the Holograms themed Steven Universe piece for Otakon 2015. Mixing two of my animated musical loves with Pink leading ladies. I am so incredibly happy about this mash-up. I'm sure it's been done before, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

Day 148: Doodle with all the colors of the rainbow!

I've been cleaning my room to make it easier for me to work in, and I found this super old pack of colored lead for a .07 mechanical pencil. A lot of the colors were brittle and kind of chalky looking due to their age, but I thought it'd be fun to use them up making colored sketches for the next few days.

Day 147: That's Better

More messing around with quick doodles and these Spectrum Noir markers. This one is so much better than yesterday's. I got way too carried away, less is definitely more.

Day 146: Grayscale

I got these cheap fake Copic markers (called Spectrum Noir) and I wanted to try them out. I only bought a gray-scale pack, and I thought these might be fun to mess around with at Otakon and take gray-scale commissions or something. So far these are fun, but they aren't as good as my old Prismacolor ones. (But here were pretty darn cheap.) I made the eyes way too big.

Day 145: Something a little different

I saw this fancy headdress post on tumblr and did a little doodle of one. Not really my style, but I like the tiny skull part.

Day 144: More watery doodles

Played around with a few things tonight on the tablet, this is the one that’s the most finished. I gotta get more nibs for my tablet, this one is already worn down. I saw a DIY nib video on youtube, so I might try doing that.

Day 143: Guess who fell asleep on the floor?

Very sleepy. Today I made crab wontons and nachos, did three loads on laundry, cleaned my room, charged my camera batteries, finished up more earrings for Otakon, did my nightly workout and eventually fell asleep on the floor.

I rushed tonight's drawing because I am very tired and I'm looking forward to sleeping in my real-person bed and not on the floor.

Day 141: Doodle Pop

Random doodles tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to make something more worthwhile during the long weekend. My brain is still all over the place. I can't focus at all.

Day 140: Sleepy Puff

Not much to say today, it's just a pencil sketch of my snuggly little dog. He sleeps in my bed more than I do. Today was a really long day, but only two more to go until the weekend, then it's more Otakon Artist Alley prep madness!

Day 139: Hair

Today was a very weird day filled with a lot of family stuff. I've been having a really hard time focusing lately, and I hope that will get a bit better now, but tonight I just couldn't get myself into anything. Drawing, food reviewing, art making...this really needs to be fixed ASAP.

Day 138: Another aimless doodle

I have been having a really hard time focusing and even typing lately. I don't know how to refocus. Hopefully I get out of this funk soon.
