I'm convinced that 90% who've made it this far are bound to complete the entire challenge—I mean, we're already in so deep, it would be ludicrous to turn back now. So far, I say that Sketchtember made for major improvement in my ability to illustrate. Since I'm currently inking my sketching, the process is just making what already exists more permanent. Huevember, on the other hand, will be quite the adventure. Coloring isn't exactly my forte, so it'll be interesting to partake in the challenge.

And away we go!

. . . but unlike last year, this year my art development is climbing on my priority list. Hence why I've participated in Sketchtember, and currently partaking in Inktober, and will also hang in there until the bitter end of Huevember. My art has improved since the year prior, and for that I am insanely proud. Hard work most definitely pays off so long as you focus your energy on the things that you care about. Rather than posting from the first 3 days of #Inktober2019, I will share videos from my Inktober series on my YouTube channel . . .

If you touch her, you'll most certainly get burned.

Especially as adults, it's mentally and emotionally challenging to begin something from square one. More specifically, it's difficult to admit to being genuinely bad at something when starting out. Young people make mistakes—it's inherent. Adults on the other hand, are supposed to have everything together. We have unlocked the secrets to succeeding in school and work (or at least being exceptionally average), that being genuinely bad at something has become a foreign concept—it's frustrating, disheartening, and it's unfortunately enough to make so many people quit before they see the slightest improvement in their work. . .
