I’ve noticed I sketch more freely when I put some texture on my canvas. This texture though I’ll probably not use again.

I spent some time every day for a few days drawing and abstracting grass.

I recently made some character-doodles based on the >>Garden Dormouse<<, which is the animal of the year 2023.
Also recently my wife and I talked about a Healthy Gamer episode in which “indecisiveness” was discussed.
Then I decided to try to combine the doodles with the topic of discussion and turn it into it’s own thing.

2022 was a tough year. Hopefully, 2023 will be better. I’m working towards being able to draw again.

First doodles I have done since November 2021.

Me: I don’t like painted rendering. So much time spent polishing stuff. I will stick to lineart and simple coloring, so much faster.
Also me:
For whatever reason, I wanted to go completely overboard (for my standards) with detailing. I wanted to push patterns/textures to an extent that made no sense. It was good for me to follow this urge because now I know with almost certainty that this is not for me.
There are individual parts that I like and which will lead me to further exploration, like the simplified outlined trees in the background or the heavy detailed lineart texturing in the foreground, but the combination of it all into illustrations like this is not where I want to go.
