For my next picture, I’m gonna try to challenge myself. I’ll try to make some laptop wallpaper of August and Elly eating ice cream together. Here’s the work schedule I’m looking to go by:

July 28–Polished Hand Drawing

July 29–Polished Line Art and Begin Coloring

July 30–Finish Coloring and Begin Shading

July 31–Finish Shading and Begin and Finish Background

Given the pace of my last set of pics (Elly’s shading situation was hell and a half, but even still), I kind of wanna see how much in over my head I am or if I can actually pull it off. Feels like a 50-50 thing, honestly, but I got the basic premise down for it all, at least. Schedule-wise, I think shading and layers are the things that’ll end up fucking me over. Thus far, they’ve been notorious factors in time management.

Welp, wish me luck. I’ll give you guys the play by play with each day’s end.
