Novel, Severance, vampire kids.
It’s been a month, I believe. And what a month.
Life has been getting to me way more than I’d like to admit, and writing about writing has become a difficult thing. Not because I can’t, but because everything else around me feels like it’s on fire.
I’ve been concentrating all my writing efforts into writing the webnovel, so my little reflections on the craft have lost space. I apologize, but not so much so.
My novel is out and about
Last week the first two episodes of My Prince Doesn’t Want the Crown went online on Tapas and, as I was working on setting them up, I decided to also make them available through this newsletter. But as I know not everyone would want to read it, I created it as a section, so you can unsubscribe to only the novel if you do not wish to receive every episode on your inbox.
My Prince Doesn’t Want the Crow is a story about a woman trying to survive and bringing change into a magical medieval country. It’s about finding hope and fighting for freedom, while navigating the highs and lows of a fantastical medieval society being aware that there are other ways to live life — it doesn’t need to be like that. Somehow it’s starting to feel a lot like how we are currently living in trying times in our very real, very current world.
Watching
I’ve been catching up to the Severance train and, I have to say, it’s been fun. I’m still finishing the first season, but I do hope it will not go Lost on me. I’m always afraid when I start to watch a series with A MYSTERIOUS MYSTERY to be solved, if you know what I mean. The series have also been reminding me a lot of Control, a game I loved the atmosphere and the gameplay, but overall just didn’t click with the story.
Drawing
I’ve been, for a reason I am not too sure, been really into drawing cute vampire kids. Here’s a bunch of them.
Aside from vampire kids, I’ve been playing around with a bunch of brushes on procreate, messing with their configurations and etc. It’s been a fun way to experiment with what I can do and understanding what I want to learn next. Hopefully I’ll get to sign Skillshare again next month and get back into to some of the classes I was doing earlier last year — when my subscription ended and I couldn’t renew it.
If you do subscribe to Skillshare and wants to go through some drawing lessons, I highly recommend this guys’ classes. A lot of things I learned almost 20 years ago and that were in dire need of refreshment.
From my playing around with the procreate brushes come these other kids and older lady. I’ve been mostly playing around with the brushes shape and grain, trying to find a texture I like when I’m not using a liner to define the drawing. I think this will be even more fun as I start to study composition, which is next on my list of things I want to learn.
That’s it.
I’ll see you guys around!
