 This is just a quick drawing to show that I did anything at all today. I considered skipping because I was, frustratingly, busy for longer than I'd have liked today, and I'm also not feeling super well. I figured though that it would be better to do any amount of drawing because it'll keep me in the rhythm.
 
 I started following a mikeymegamega tutorial on hair (trying to pick out the tutorials that aren't horny af) and followed along with drawing the first head. It's interesting so far because I haven't really had a feeling for three-dimensionally mapping out hair yet. It feels like something that could be quite complicated, but I'm in for the ride.

+No drawing today. I'm feeling unwell and I can't get myself to start drawing. It feels like I'm on the tail end of a sickness, but this only started yesterday, so I don't know where this is going, but I do trust my immune system to get me back up to speed soon.

+I did go outside early-ish in the day today, partly to catch some fresh air (which did make me feel a little better), and also to get new art supplies! Nothing too fancy; I bought an art pad with higher-weight paper than what my current notebook has: 180g/m² instead of 80g/m². This'll most assuredly help with the sketches shining through pages. It also has a different paper texture. It's a little rougher. Actually, each sheet has a finer and a rougher side, which is pretty cool.
+
+I bought this at an art supply store, which felt a bit odd to do. Last time I went there, I was there with a friend who's really into art (also studying art and painting her own paintings, really cool stuff). I never really had a reason to go to that store unfortunately, because my hobbies just didn't align with their inventory. Until now!
+
+I wasn't, and still am not, sure whether a pad is better than a book, because it means I'll have loose sheets instead of a cohesive book. I can't carry this with me quite as easily. However, not having a book means I'll be less worried about fucking up a drawing and 'spoiling' the book (which is a silly concept anyway).
+
+Anyway, I'll try to rest for the remainder of the day. I'll drink some tea and lie in bed. Hopefully be back with cool drawings tomorrow.

+ok... you get a small doodle. just so i did *something* today.
