@BichonBistro also, I found it super helpful to go find some illustration references to help me think up new thumbnail ideas. It’s cool, because I ended up with a few that were very different than my original idea. I don’t think my original idea even made the cut to the fives. If I had done it just by trying to think up stuff on my own... well I’m tapped out. I need some creative bank account deposits. ️

@BichonBistro thanks Patty! We have other house projects, so my studio hasn’t gotten much love. That’s why it still looks like it did a few weeks ago. ‍️I should post some updated house pictures on Instagram, though. Scott and I have been working on building the deck the past few nights. It’s fun, but we’re losing daylight so quickly I’m going to need to find my headlamp soon!

Working on Slowvember and using Lee’s process outlined in his “How To do great illustrations every time video.” Is it still slowvember if I started during inktober? I did a lot of research on this one. Looked at tons of images... Read, walked. And then I did 50 thumbnails. All 50! I’m so proud of me! I felt very stuck at many times because I don’t have the drawing experience to really drastically shift camera angles and things, but I found reference and used other illustrations as ideas. I just narrowed down my 50 into my five favorite thumbnails today. I redrew them a bit bigger. I feel a little behind, but I also feel really good about where things are going. And, I haven’t had a moment of panic yet. Because, none of these drawings really matter yet. I guess that’s the point right? To work out all the problems in a low pressure environment?
Feel free to comment on the five bigger thumbnails. I’m posting the 50 just to show I did them. Also, I haven’t waited to fully unpack my office to do this. I’m crammed in, but I need to get back to it again or I’ll grow crazy. I’ll put a picture of my ridiculous room too.

@Jon-Anderson @lmrush Thank you!

@rizzyfig that’s all I’m seeing too. Same episodes, audio only.

@Jake-Parker Just a random side note to this episode. I just listened to it for a second time and I was cracking up at the stories you guys had about snow. We live in Alaska and one of the first things I learned when I moved here was that the Inuit people have something like 50 different words for snow. (hardened icy snow, softly falling, flurries, blizzarding, the slushie stuff...) Just thought I'd share that little tidbit.

Just listened to this. Good timing for me. Its good to hit the reset button every now and then and remember to think about the direction we want to go. What Jake said about internal need vs. external acceptance...
Also, I love your rabbit @Cory-Shaw He's ridiculously cute.

@Heather-Boyd thank you! Hopefully they will post the video! ️

I haven’t been able to log in the the forums for a few days due to a family emergency. But, SVS told me “congrats” on Instagram today? What am I missing? I didn’t see an announcement and I haven’t gotten any emails...

@Lee-White thank you for putting it in your shop! I ordered one for my boys room! ️
