<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nA little amateur brushwork and a quick doodle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hands up who else is as lazy as I am? I have never drawn guidelines for calligraphy, and I am just too freaking lazy to do so. Would I improve faster if I do guidelines? Maybe. But I might also never learn to write properly without guidelines. I don\u2019t know\u2026. But I want to be able to do brush lettering without guidelines, and I can say for sure that practice has definitely helped a lot. If only I kept up with it. From the letters being completely slanted and falling off the page, to this\u2026 Most of it was when I pushed through with the 100 day challenge and then kept up with the lettering prompts for a little bit longer afterwards\u2026 So maybe, 4 months or half a year\u2019s work? And by work I really mean, like 5 – 10 minutes of work a day on average. I might give that one word 1 or 3 attempts and that\u2019s it. Hardly what you\u2019d call practice, but still a lot more than I\u2019ve been doing in the past\u2026 3.5 years. That\u2019s how frigging long it\u2019s been since I last practiced, honest. I pretty much stopped when I changed jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s certainly nice to have a job that\u2019s a lot more mentally engaging. But it seems like regardless, I just don\u2019t have sufficient energy\/brain power or well, stamina and willpower to constantly be super productive after work. These days the most productive I might be is to practice on my speedcube a little before bed. But more often then not I\u2019m just reading some webnovels, playing some games, and watching some YouTube. I should really make the effort to spend my time better huh. At least a portion of the time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s 1:15am right now and strangly I\u2019m not the slightest bit sleepy. Ok, maybe just slightly sleepy\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using my pens again recently made me remember how nice it is to use them\u2026 AND that foxy doodle on the postcard made me realise how much I actually love that plasticky sort of feel. Personally I find it really nice to write on and I love it. And that\u2019s why I love the Iroful paper. You might beg to differ too and that\u2019s fine\u2026 It\u2019s really a personal preference kind of thing. You do you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alright. Shall end off here today. Till next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
That\u2019s my mental state and motivation levels I guess\u2026 I did finally dabble in a little bit of art, but not quite anything \u2018proper\u2019 so to speak. And no video again\u2026 Really glad that I did do something artsy though\u2026 And also sent out a couple of letters. That\u2019s something at least, even though I […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
