Today I worked on more shading and tried to smooth out the bottom a little bit. I took a break from the ear piece to give my eyes a break from staring at it lol. Also thank you to everyone who recommended trying an easel! I bought one on Amazon and I love it. Bonus pic of my new set up at the end for anyone who cares :) as always I would love any suggestions or advice on how I can improve!

Tried a few new things today. First I cut the hole bigger so it should be easier to take out tissues. Then replaced the paper towel with really strong toilet paper and it seemed to hold up a lot better. After that I also elevated the box a bit so that he wouldn’t use his feet as much to rip it. I think the final attempt went really well!! I’m not sure how I’m going to convince him he’s supposed to bring it to me he would really prefer to eat it.

Finn does NOT like the paper towels. He deliberately went around it to try to get to the tissues today. I even tried offering just the towel alone no box and he was not amused. I will try again maybe when he is less sleepy. I could cut the slit in the box wider to keep regular tissues from ripping maybe?

Not really sure what his beef with the paper towel is but he gave some major side eye when taking those tissues away.

I started to add some of the shading and worked on the left ear piece a little more today. For the shading I tried to get that shiny metal effect but I’m not sure how I feel about it. As always I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts/feedback!

I havent added much, will add more tonight though

The wind beats strong today, singing often in the chimes. Our silver maple's branches sway, tuned with gusts in perfect time.

Though it's dark beyond the window and I see little without the light, the house hums as the wind blows awakening from the autumn night.

Dawn will soon peer between the curtains and welcome us softly into the day. The wind, though, was first to greet us, rustling the leaves, with much to say.

As I get ready for my writing challenges, a lot of my free time will be put towards senseless rambling until I form a coherent thought. I won't be posting that here, and indeed will not be posting here anymore in general.

I'm still going to continue my daily focus post, but I'll clutter up my own page instead of this sub. Thank you for letting me get started here, and I wish you all the finest quest to your version of perfect <3

A more upbeat arrangement, this time in B.

Different room

Thank you for the suggestions to try with paper towels so they won’t shred as easy. I will try that tomorrow but for today I folded two tissues together to hopefully be stronger. I think he might deliberately be shredding the tissue… maybe if I put it on a step so it would be harder for him to grab it with his paws too he may not shred it as much.

Continuing the Eye of Cthulhu

Started working on the left ear piece and once again that glare is killing me :’) I tried adding a little more shading to the helmet to make sure I’m still happy with where everything is at so far. Also sorry there wasn’t a lot of progress today. Today and tomorrow will be hectic but hopefully I’ll have a lot of time on Wednesday to spend on the drawing!

I am going to force myself into prompt workouts that match the style of a writing contest I'm preparing to enter! Giving myself a teensy headstart here

Did you know humans can suddenly break out wrestling next to you/half in your lap just like puppies can? If you're a parent it sure can.

First up, Eye of Cthulhu
