Day 26: Stretch

Just a little time Just a little something else instead Just a little time Just a little something up ahead I'm dreaming of... A #dtiys a while back 😭 This was such a memorable show with heartfelt songs, story and lovable characters. I'm grateful for this masterpiece ❤️ Are there any shows that you're currently watching? I hope you're having a nice Sunday, and have a good week!

Today is my birthday! (11/23) So I would like to gift you all with this announcement:

I have (finally) created my own food blog! @comfydarkeats ✨🍽✨

Food and art are both things that I greatly enjoy. When I was asked what my dream career would be, I answered that I'd want to be a food illustrator.

I say "finally" because, to be honest, even though they are my passions, it took me a while to just get started. Maybe it's the fear of making mistakes, or that the results won't turn out the way I want it to. Does anyone else feel this? 😭

A very wise friend told me, "Why not start with a 'bad drawing'? Why not paint a 'bad thing.' And just keep going until you finally get something good." In other words, I won't know if the piece is bad if I don't get started at ALL.

I'm also trying to apply this mindset in other aspects of my life. I admit to not accomplishing a lot of goals (let alone daily tasks) because of this fear of failure, fear of not getting it right the first try, which causes me to stop on my tracks and just be stagnant overall.

I know this is something I need to work on, but as I'm getting older, I'm learning that it's okay to make mistakes, as long as there's the eagerness and acceptance of bettering myself. I'm also trying to take in this saying, "There's no better time than the present." It's been said so many times, but I never really had that sink in until now.

Creating this blog is a small step, but it's important to me that I initiate at all instead of going, "someday." So here's to starting new things that may turn into accomplishments!

Is there something that you've been wanting or needing to do?

Chinese New Year is approaching! 🧧

I've actually been wanting to revisit the Rabbit painting. Looking at my other zodiac animals, I'd prefer to have them all look the same style and aesthetic, so I cleaned up the rabbit without spots and swirls.

What are your thoughts? Do you prefer the old design or this new design? Also, any plans for the upcoming CNY? 😄

Day 27: Thunder. Kind of a throwback to a piece last year, so it's nice to see the improvement 👏
