94.

Have felt kinda crummy physically for the past few weeks--throat infection, then period cramps, then the back-shoulder-neck-ache being far more tenacious than usual, and falling asleep during the day all the way through--and it's been a real bummer. Slamming down iron supplements and hoping that will help.

Have been very quiet as a result, and fell behind a bit in my studies so have to spend extra time catching up rather than working on the mystery hobby or on anything more interesting. Well, I say that, but university is pretty interesting (I'm writing an essay on Caravaggio, who was a Hot Mess) and I've been reading/watching/playing stuff here and there. Watching Jojo part 2 with someone who doesn't know what to expect is pretty entertaining, it turns out.

I haven't drawn anything substantial for months, mainly due to a lack of reason/inspiration. I enrolled in a graphic novel unit next semester, and I kinda need to draw for that :U so I'm forcing myself back into it. I am at the point where I can sketch full figures, but need to go back to daily gesture/figure drawing practice. Writing this mainly as a reminder to myself!

I've found I enjoy doodling weird stuff, like strangely phallic shapes and distorted faces with shiny anime eyes and teeth in the wrong place--I'd draw more of those but I'm concerned people will think it's me making the statement Anime Sucks; nah I just like goofy grotesque nonsense.
