'whats in my bag' WIP + i've moved! (Patreon)

hello! i wanted to show you guys this drawing WIP!~ i've been wanting to do the 'what's in my bag' meme for ages. especially because i am very attached to carrying a bag, and i'm that person who carries around tonnes of shit that I can't go without. i just now remembered the fact i have one shoulder higher than the other from carrying a shoulder bag around since i was a tween, LMAO.

the last couple of months have been a bit of a whirlwind. i needed to move again for money reasons, and last minute was my only option (because landlords gotta be greedy) so I hauled everything I own yet again into boxes, sold off a bunch of my furniture, and i moved into a really cute little apartment in a countryside village. (i got sick in the process with a bad head cold which really was the cherry on top.) going from an old cottage farmhouse in the middle of nowhere into an apartment--where i can hear my neighbors faintly above and below me, where people say hello in a courtyard--it's been like going into the sims apartment life expansion pack. i lived in the middle of a city when i first moved out, and then i got more and more remote with each house, and ultimately I kinda just wanted to find a detached cottage or cabin the middle of nowhere with no one bothering me. just me and my cat, bunker style. then i find myself here, so it's a weird shift, but welcome. and i do feel happier in a lighter airier space with amenities nearby.

missy B is enjoying it too, and settled in fast. ₊˚⊹♡

it's slow going at the moment when it comes to drawing, i'm just keeping up with LiC as much as possible but otherwise swamped with necessary non-art tasks. sometimes in life you just gotta make snap decisions and take yourself in a different direction, fast. i've been working at 110% capacity for a while and i'm definitely burned out as hell. trying to rest, but trying to unpack, but trying to get back to drawing, it's a lot at once, so i try to do a little bit of what feels most necessary and keep myself sane. i'm sure it'll all flow again soon. ❤︎⁠
