Hello, I thought I would give you all a brief update on what I'm doing at the moment!
Artwise, I'm currently still working on my portfolio, while just doing some sketches for fun to keep me going as well, that's why there's so much unfinished work in my gallery at the moment, and I apologise for that. I've been trying to make the sketches relatively polished by shading them, it's also good practice for me anyway .
I'm also working on a collaboration with , so I'll post that at some point.
""
I actually posted another Youtube video! For the first time in months :'). As I've mentioned before, I work full time, and I only have three hours when I get home in the evening to eat, work on my portfolio, and have any kind of social life, so Saturdays are really the only days I have to record and edit, that's one of the main reasons I just can't upload to my Youtube account as often as I'd like. As well as that, my laptop struggles with the video editing process, making it slow, and frustrating, so that's another issue. I'm hoping to save up for a mac, or a higher quality pc so that I can do digital artwork, and edit videos more easily, but that won't be for a while yet. Until then, I'm going to TRY and upload more often, but I apologise for being unable to keep to a fixed schedule, and hope that you understand . I've pr-recorded a second sketchbook tour, and an artwork tour, and due to the nature of these, they require minimal editing, meaning that I should be able to get these uploaded much more quickly than a regular art video. I'm hoping to get that uploaded on Sunday, or sometime next week. I'm attempting to work to a bi-weekly schedule, but I won't promise that I'll be able to stick to it.
In other news, I've finally put a new website together for myself...and a blog! Again, I don't have as much time as I would like to work on the blog either, but as I mentioned in a previous journal entry, I have more time to work on blog posts than videos, so HOPEFULLY I'll be able to update that a bit more often!
I don't have a fixed theme for my blog, I'll be writing about whatever takes my interest really. About issues I'm passionate about, and I'm hoping to write some reviews on art supplies, books, TV series, a variety of things. I'm really excited about this because I don't feel like I HAVE to focus on one area, it gives me a lot of freedom to talk about whatever I like. Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to review, or talk about, I have a list of ideas, but I wouldn't say no to more!
I've currently only posted one entry, and it's an introduction, just explaining a little bit about myself, and what I'm hoping to achieve with this blog. Please feel free to give it a read if you'd like you can find it here: truequeenoficeands.wixsite.com…
Thank you to everyone who is still following me. I apologise for not being as active on here as I once was. I'm afraid I'm struggling to set a strict schedule for myself, as my job is obviously my priority. I try to post daily on Instagram, so if you have an account, you can follow me on there GrimoireDesReves, to those of you who don't, thank you for your continued support on here, and on Youtube. I hope that I can make more content soon .

New Year!
I hope that everyone had a great New Year. I'm sick...so not the best start to things, but oh well! =). I'm making this journal more for myself than anyone else, but I thought I'd make a list of art goals for myself. I don't believe in New Year's resolutions...I find that for most people, they tend to have a counter-productive effect. I think setting a HUGE list of things that you absolutely will do before next year CAN be a tad unreasonable, especially if those goals are 'Find a new job' 'Move house' 'become the best artist ever to exist' 'reinvent the wheel'. Or they often end up being the things we know we SHOULD do (exercise for a whole h
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! :love:
I hope that everyone has had a really lovely day =).
I was considering doing a 'year in review' type journal, but given the fact that I'm not often active on here nowadays, it seems a bit pointless to be honest. I might do one closer to New Year's, if the mood takes me =).
In any case, every year, I like to share a list of everything I received for Christmas (I used to do this for my birthday as well xD). It seems a shame to break a tradition, so I thought that I'd do that again this year =). Just a disclaimer, I am in no way trying to brag, I personally love to read about the gifts everyone received for Christmas!
Question for digital artists!
Hello! I'm sorry this isn't really an update, but I have a question for digital artists in particular:
Which computers would you recommend for creating digital art?
Which computers would you recommend avoiding?
I'd like to start creating more digital art. I want to try and get into an art career, as you may know from previous journal entries, and while I've been working very hard to improve my traditional work, I know that I need to start working on my digital skills as well. Before anyone tells me this: I know that having the best art supplies won't make you the best artist, I understand that completely, and don't believe that by buying
What do you use Pinterest for?
Hello again! Another social media based question for you all! (Or for anyone who uses Pinterest at least!)
I have a Pinterest account, but I don't usually share it with anyone. I don't post my artwork on Pinterest, so it seemed a bit pointless. That said...I'm curious if you have a Pinterest account, do you follow anyone on there? If you do, what do follow them for? Is it because they post their own work? Or do you like the boards they put together?
Personally, I just use Pinterest for inspiration and more natural references and ideas, so I don't actually follow anyone on there, but I'm beginning to see how it could be really useful to fol
