Getting back in the game - Art and music.

YAY! Uploads!
Drawing, coloring, photography/photo editing, hopefully I'll even start posting my paintings that I've been working on. Even considering posting my still life & life sketch book that I've been using since 2009. It feels very good to be back in the habits. As a matter of fact, I've recently taken on a coloring commission that is opening a new door to me: colored pencils. It is a series of six line art prints she wants me to color for her so she can paint them on some kind of fabric screen; basically I'm coming up with a kind of "paint by numbers." But I haven't had much experience in colored pencils, so I've been learning quite a bit as I go and will most likely continue working with them after this commission is done.
 
Also, I have another genre I'm starting to learn - music. I got my first guitar on 12 Dec '15 and have been learning and practicing every day since. It is a Mitchell MD100 acoustic I got at my local Guitar Center for a very cheep price and I am in love! Fingerpicking is what is coming more naturally to me as playing with a pick is a frustrating pain in the ass - in other words, what I need to work more on. The chords and notes are actually rather easy to pick up on, though. Generally, I play a bit before work, during my breaks and lunches, and after I get some artwork done at home. It is very relaxing to play, hear, and feel at the end of the night.
