... If you guys are still there.

I know its been a long while since I have posted anything! 

I've been busying working, and being an adult... >.<'   So boring! Anyway, I have been somewhat drawing during my unplanned hiatus. Although, I've been posting my works on my social media sites like Facebook, and Instagram. They haven't been huge cool things, but just some doodles here and there.

I'm sad to announce my poor outdated Macbook that has been my buddy for years is slowly becoming that old thing I don't want to use anymore. I plan on keeping it and updating the OS, but I also would like a new Macbook or iMac that will be faster, slimmer, and have a nice crisp display! 

Things I also plan to save up for is a new Wacom Tablet! I don't know what I'll get, but that is on my list! I'll probably be borrowing my husband's Macbook for the time being if I get a new tablet. My Macbook is seriously that old and can't take much anymore like it used to. I would also like to find a different drawing software. I previously was using Corel Painter's Essentials 4, and Pixelmator. I would like to start new with something else. However, I don't really like drawing on my computer much. I have been drawing on paper... eww! There are pros and cons for traditional vs digital, but for now its easier for me to draw on paper.

I would also like to do other crafty things like origami, clay modeling, painting, and crochet!

So just bare with me, and hopefully I'll start getting my groove back here!

5 years...

My laptop is 5 YEARS old!! It doesn't seem that long, but sad to see the slowness kicking in. My poor Macbook has surely taken a beating! It has small cracks near the hinges (probably from constant opening and closing shut the screen), the bottom rubber is all warped (known issue for the white MacBook model), and I recently made a small crack on the trackpad (Got a little frustrated). 

Anywho... Its been sluggish now trying to keep up with my demands! I use chrome, spotify, itunes, pixelmator. I can't run all those programs while not plugged in. My battery gets used up very quickly! I used to be able to run these things, and while at school and have no issues whatsoever. The battery isn't that bad though due to an older laptop that couldn't last 10 minutes on battery. However, I get about and hour or two on a charge. It runs really warm and I have already used up all the storage space on it. As much as I would like a new Macbook or iMac I still like this one. The RAM has already been updated and to its maximum. I will be getting a new battery, and later a new hard drive. Luckily I didn't destroy my trackpad when I was frustrated, and if I did i have a wireless trackpad or my wacom tablet to use. They sell replacement rubber bottoms for my model so I can replace the warped one. I didn't know that it was an issue and you could get that replaced for free, but I missed out.

So in other news... I have been drawing in my sketchbook. I don't upload often because I use my phone more than my computer, but I use the computer to edit my drawings if i'm going to upload. I just don't like to upload things to my computer because its heavy and not a phone. (Look what technology has done!)

I would like to keep up with my art, and had an issue with my own drawings because I want it to look really cool. However, what I draw or color is my style and I shouldn't be asking for more than what it me. I sometimes stress or refuse to show my work because its not like the others. It doesn't have that skill that the popular deviants have. Which I figured that people do like my stuff, and its whats me and thats what matters. It is just silly what goes on in my head. I mostly worry about nothing. Who cares if some don't like it because someone else does. My style is cute and I've been told that my art shows personality. Others are amazed by the way I color and the work I bring out. Its the little things that make me happy.

I wan't to draw more and I would like to someday draw commission for others! I've been drawing to practice what it will take to do these drawings for others and myself. I want to start timing how long it takes and the steps it takes to show what process I do when I draw or create. I want to be a bit quicker and learn to color a bit better. I want to practice different mediums. I need to create a new portfolio of my artworks. Even if its cute things and animals.

I also been away from the computer because I get strained from looking at screens for long time. I do have glasses I place over my current glasses to help reduce it. I don't want to be in hiatus anymore! I want to be a bit more active with my uploads but also active in my life away from my screens and be outside. I need to find a balance that works!!

So there you have it!

Hello my deviants!! Unless you forgot me I'm here and hopefully back! 

SEVERAL SETBACKS, but I'm trying my best to show for it. IN FACT!! I have been posting my artwork on my facebook, BUT most importantly I now have INSTAGRAM!! You can find me there under the same username LIZZICHU!! I most likely post there more than I will on here and facebook. The reason its faster and its kinda fun. For a LONG while I really dreaded being asked to get instagram. Really wasn't my thing and felt like I was being forced. Which many people do ask or force others to get. I felt like it was easier to share or sneak peek of my art or silly things I do. I also have twitter which was one that I became forced to get which I rarely get on. I use it mostly to vent because I really don't use it and I really don't care. You can also check that out if you want still under Lizzichu.

ABOUT THE SETBACKS!! Sorry for all the ALLCAPS lol I just figure it stands out more when I make a point. About 2 weeks or 3 weeks ago I got a PUPPY!! HE is adorable, tons of work, and super fun! I was DRAINED during the first week, and started to get second thoughts about the puppy. He is super smart though and picks things up so quick. I still get frustrated with this pup, but he is learning and full of energy its hard not to stay mad at him for long. His name is Figg and is a black Labrador mix (I'm thinking maybe some Border Collie) My boyfriend and I adopted him from a rescue group called Rescue Rovers. My friend that helped me back then with a place to stay fosters for them. We went to visit the pups to play with them, and didn't know that we would end up with one. It was a long process to get the OK from the rescue group and the apartment. We got the OK from the apartment, but miscommunication happened and it was a mess. All and all we now have him, and I can't wait to spend years with him. 

DUE TO THAT... with the constant watching so he wont pee on the carpet or chew on a cord...ect. I felt trapped and strained. I tried to draw, but we lack a table and chair. I tried to just doodle on the couch, but this dog is a handful. My hands are dry from constantly cleaning. He is now about 95% potty trained inside. He finally gets his last set of puppy shots this weekend so we can finally get to learn outside! I've been wanting to take him on walks and to the pet store, rides in the car. 

Now that I don't really have to keep an eye on him so much I have a little wiggle room to either play my DS, watch TV, clean, or draw. I haven't tried, but I really want to draw at my desk in the office area. I can't really trust him alone, and also with the cat. If we get a gate it will help but the cat will be able to jump over and enter the office. SO I might need to just draw without my desk. I would like a mini table or something though. I get the most ideas when I can't be able to draw at that moment. When I can draw I can't think of anything or lose sight on it. Grr its confusing being my mind!! 

Also I am NOT WORKING for now. I quit my job before I left to my christmas vacation. I want to focus on my artwork and creativity. I want to be selling my art, and whatever I make. So I'll be sure to fill in when that time comes. I also might be making a slight career change. I'm a graphic designer, but I just don't feel like that is what I want to do. What I might end up doing still can use my graphic design touch, but more fun.

I am open to some suggestions on what to draw! Anything from these categories-
~Anime
~Animals
~Cartoon Characters
~Pokemon (150 and Johto) NO NEW!
~Ponies MLP
~Videogame Charaters
~Your OC
~Your Pet

I would really like to see some ideas!! I would love to draw something you place with my touch! It will have me expand my drawing thoughts. If you give me an idea that is not from the list above it better be something amazing like a (cat with a flamethrower) If its too extreme or crazy I may not do it, but it doesn't hurt to try. I would like at least something!!

Thank you!!

What it feels like, and not because its October/Halloween. I haven't been active like I used to, and I still draw quite a lot. I just don't post much of what I draw since it has been in my book than on my laptop. 

What tends to happen is when I get off work rounding to 4-7 I get home and want to rest, eat, watch TV. On a day off I catch up on chores or relax, shop, hang with a friend, read, go outside, etc... So drawing isn't a top priority sometime. That also bites me in the butt because I want to help out a friend but I just procrastinate or get tired when I get home that she waits 3 months for nothing. I also loose interest or draw something else I have in mind. I would like to draw commissions, but once I get a more stable schedule for myself. I also think a reason is that my desk is upstairs, and I don't want to feel isolated to everyone and be part of the group. Sometimes I will take my book or computer downstairs, but there isn't the table space or room that I need to draw. Or I mostly end up bringing so much downstairs that it collects and makes it messy. For example, when I color I use colored pencils and there will be colored pencils on the floor, sofa, coffee table. I don't have a spot for my pencil or eraser shavings and so I would color things later when I go upstairs which I usually forget about. I'm also trying to think of new things to draw and styles. I feel like a mess sometimes. 

Although, I think that will be a change since I will be moving this weekend! We will be in an apartment flat and so my desk will be near the living room. There will be no more taking trips upstairs and downstairs to gather my material. Hopefully that way my desk will be close by and will be eager to me more crafty. We will eventually have another office room, but that still wont be as bad as it is now. I feel like I need two desks one for my computer and the other for crafts! I have just been on the biggest hiatus and once I pickup on my digital art again I'll be posting my art.

I have a lot of traditional and photos that I would like to share. It will just be some time before I get around to uploading them. I'm just so sorry for my absence from here... I miss you all and I also miss out of my watchers and see popular or amazing things late. Oh! I also have a 3 week vacation planned, and I'm so happy because all my previous jobs its been difficult to even get that much time off especially since its during the holidays and working retail sucks. I have the most coolest boss and I'll finally be home for Christmas and New Years this year!! Yay!! I'm not a retail person and even though I kinda like the location of my job (Aquarium) the gift shop is such a busy thing and stressful.

No promises if I'll post a lot of y drawings, but I'll try my best in 2015 if I can! 

I'm kinda glad that its fall, but I just don't like change. Mostly time changes and the sun going down so early... I DON'T LIKE IT!! I do like the cool weather though until it drops to the cold temps... I wonder when I'll start seeing snow this year. I heard it's going to be a harsh winter :p 

Anywho that is about it.

... And now I'm slowly trying to get back on track with my artwork. It's been so long from drawing that I'm back to the difficult part of picking it back up to speed. I want to just go, but I can't seem to get some ideas right and bring that to paper or my computer. It used to be so easy to just draw and create things. I;m starting off slow and hopefully I can get back on track.

The last big break I took I couldn't draw humans, anime, people.. etc and I began to draw animals. I feel like now I can't draw both or I may be slowing coming back and trying to draw people. 

I'm trying new things and I'm not sure if work is affecting my imagination. 

I might also be just lazy.

I have been drawing but on paper and I don't take pictures of all of what I draw or too lazy to post them up. 

My boyfriend wants me to begin sketching and to sketch or draw something everyday. He has brought up for me to make small comics draw things I see... 

I don't know why when I think about drawing I feel like I'm going to get a headache... ugh whats wrong with me. 

I'm probably repeating myself now... I'm just venting I guess and hoping this is what I need to let out so I can draw or keep busy with something.

I would like to continue school again and get a bachelors degree...

Blah blah blah.... Oh yeah, I'll be getting a tattoo sometime in the near future. This will be my first and I'm scared!! I will surely post that since I designed the tattoo myself :D
