Admin Post: Community Check-In for January 2021

[goss]

Tomorrow's the last day of January, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you this past month?

Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in January, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Also, we have a new drawing challenge for the month of February, which will be posted tomorrow. :)

Post hand surgery I’ve been taking it very easy and slow getting back into art endeavors. I bullet journal daily and have video chat art sessions weekly that have been steady and not taxing, so I added some more intense painting sessions in the last few months.

I finished two personal painting projects: https://www.instagram.com/p/CKG95IzBDST/?igshid=jwclzqb7iv8z

I also oil painted in my bullet journal for January’s set up: https://youtu.be/u0ZydiUZ-ls

No fandom activities and no deadline for me yet. I’m attempting a bullet journaling YouTube channel and that’s all I feel like doing. My hand still aches and now the other hand is doing what the right one did, so I’m trying not to get upset about it.

That paintings are great!

I like the paintings! Sometimes having a hand or limb out of commission temporarily puts more stress on the other side - fingers crossed it'll get better soon.

Insta won‘t let me see the paintings without accepting all their cookies (that‘s illegal in the EU btw) so I can‘t comment on these.

I LOVED your video though, a great landscape for January and it was fascinating watching the process with oils (I only do watercolour).
