- - edit: ever since I uploaded this I felt like something was off with the eyes and it was bugging me. I realized it was a matter of how they should look from that perspective -not so round, despite the fact that I wanted them pretty round and harsh. Even though I wanted them in that style though they just seemed not to work alright as they looked like eyes should be looking when you're facing them. So I edited them slightly and I feel like it's a little bit better. It's still not working for the right eye but that's an even more complex problem to solve because the facial structure at that point and angle is actually plain out wrong so... I'd have to paint again that whole side of the head/cheek and honestly, it was just a speedpaint without much thought for complete accuracy. So I'm not feeling like it - -

So I thought I'd try these Core Membership Thursday Prompts at least once. At first this prompt to start 2019 wasn't the most inspiring --The Promise, you have to tell about your New Year's Resolution as an artist-- since I don't do these New Years resolutions for real. And yet... What about actually trying to answer the prompt and start 2019 by applying some of the stuff I'm supposed to be doing for months?

As in painting for myself, a little bit; experiencing new things that I have either discovered and want to try out or skills I should practice, and taking at least a few illustrations to an end even when it's not owned work.

I struggle a lot with achieving the goals I constantly set for myself, most of the time I just don't know where to start. And while I have thousands of ideas blossoming at random times I cannot manage to get them straight and in order when wanting to draw something, or else I end up not feeling good enough to even do anything at all, even practice. Talk about a virtuous circle :'D Not feeling ok most of the time and living in a wrong environment for my personal growth don't help either, but that's another whole story.

So I wanted to enter this prompt, and while the drawing may seem mostly unrelated in the end (to me that's what prompts are for anyway, releasing an idea into an open space and letting it grow on its own with your personal interpretation) the point is I'm glad to have achieved this smol painting. It's not much, but it's something. I guess I wanted to draw something related to the fact that I keep bringing back the same old promises everytime in the sheer hope I might succeed at some point, even though they often burn to the ground, fall apart and go back to the shadows. But I know that I'll manage, someday, when the conditions are reunited.

That's why I keep going back to bring them into the light.
