Summer Goals: End of June Checkup

When summer began, I made a lovely and illustrated list of the things I hoped to accomplish this summer. As the month draws sharply to a close, I thought I'd review.

get a job
Yay! Score! I got a job. I'm working in foodservice, which was definitely not my first choice, BUT it's literally a 5 minute walk from my apartment, which really feels great after work. Sometimes it's even shorter if someone's coming out the exit gate in a car and I can get in that way.
No cash register handling either, a lovely plus.

practice drawing everyday
oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I've been drawing and stuff, I don't know if it's as much as usual… but it definitely hasn't been working on perspective or proportion or anything important like that. And it DEFINITELY hasn't been every day.

blog 3 times a week
I'm just barely making this one. It's surprising how much less I seem to have to say to the Internet when the Internet is not right there in my face.
Plus my life is basically work and reading Harry Potter right now, so what am I to talk about? Well, maybe I could make an art update…

move to austin
A+ success! I was feeling some stress in the form of headaches and feeling generally under the weather at the beginning, but I adapted beautifully and the 45 minute commute to Elgin now feels pretty long.

webcomic 1-2 pages per week
ANOTHER FAILURE
Okay, I have a sort-of excuse. For the first couple weeks we had no scanner. However, I had an already scanned panel that I could have colored… and didn't.
And I drew no new ones. I storyboarded nothing. I did a lot less than I could have.

Let's hope my art goals are more on track for the rest of the summer. See y'all later in the day (or possibly tomorrow) for my monthly wrap-up post… once I'm back in contact with my journal-calendar.
