Hello dear my patrons,

This month, various tasks are not progressing as planned. I'm behind on my work. Sorry about that :(

But while I've been taking a lot of time off, I've been able to sleep more than last month. Up until last month, I was averaging about 4 hours of sleep. It was not so good.

I also discussed with my doctor about my health problems during this season. I'm working on a schedule that doesn't overwhelm me, but I'm still getting a little anxious about my income.

So, I would like to take plenty of time off in November so that I can start working again in December.

There may be fewer art works/posts in November. I'm sorry.

It's a very nice season for a walk!

But I can't get an IRL stream yet due to internet issues. I'm not sure about that. I have no idea when I'll be able to resume the IRL stream, as it's up to my husband.

All I can do is wait. But, the cold season is coming! XO

iPad procreate study

I've been taking my time and studying procreate on my iPad. I can't find a good watercolor brush. It was the same with Photoshop, which I have been using for a long time.

The colored pencils look good, but.... I wonder if it is super super difficult to express watercolor expression digitally. Or just I don't know how to do it...

Anyway, for now, rather than aiming for watercolor expression, I'm thinking of changing my direction to find a digital painting method that I enjoy painting with!!! :D

Games!

I've been taking a lot of time off, so I've been playing games for the first time in a while: Animal Crossing and Final Fantasy XIV. Some of you may know that I have started playing FFXIV again since I streamed it. I hadn't played in over two years since I started to stream.

The main story of FFXIV is difficult for me to understand, so I enjoy talking about the main story with my old friends. 

I realized that I hadn't played with my friends for a long time.

A big update is coming in December. I don't know if I'll be able to finish my main story quest by then, but if I can, I hope I'll be able to play the same way I do now :)

My favorite baseball team won the league championship and then the climax series as well!

Next up is the Japan Series, a six-game series starting on November 20th. If they win the Japan Series, it will be their first win in Japan in 20 years! Since I became a fan, I have never seen it. So I'm very excited!

But the baseball broadcast is late at night. Because of COVID, there are no extra innings and the game ends in the bottom of the 9th inning, but it still goes past 10pm sometimes.

During the regular season, I gave up watching the games and went to bed early, but this time I want to watch every game of the Japan Series.

I'm so happy that we won the Climax Series in a row (and the first two wins were complete games!). When I was watching the last game on TV, I yelled: if they win this one, I'm buying myself DanielSmith lapis lazuli genuine paint to celebrate!. So I did. (Blue is one of my favorite team theme colors!)

According to the description, it contains 80% lapis lazuli. As soon as I received it, I tested it. It has a very unique texture. Can't wait to use it!

Thank you so much for your amazing supports!I hope you are having a wonderful November♡

Love,Tachibana Lita
