It's truly amazing that I have to convince myself that I didn't just waste the entirety of yesterday because I spent the whole day flat coloring old Confed uniforms. Yes, I didn't work on anything that could be of use for my portfolio or really anything but my old Character World files, but that's okay.
I had intended to paint eventually but I became focused and I was having fun. And there's nothing wrong with that. I opened the first one because I wanted a warmup and to test out the new monitor and workspace- which I like by the way. I no longer have to curl up into a little ball and can fit the tablet on the desk. I'm still hunched over, but I'm hunched over when I draw anyway, and at least I'm sitting like a normal human being.
Link for the curious.
Then I became completely focused on doing them. Five more to go and I can clear out an entire folder in my Unfinished, which is a good thing.
One step at a time.
