started my second draft of moon jellyfish kiss!

it’s looking like it’ll be longer than I’d initially planned lol, but I think I’ve almost got the structure/pacing down now

I learnt a lot about the story from my first draft, and I’m looking forwards to learning more with this draft! :-)

just moved all of my moon jellyfish kiss stuff over to obsidian and man. I really like this editor, it feels so much better to write in!

notion was nice but it felt a little clunky to me? obsidian feels a little closer to writing in a code editor, and for whatever reason I find that a lot more intuitive lol

started editing my first draft today, and there’s A LOT to rewrite but. progress is being made!

made some clip studio paint brushes! download link

they’re based on pens I have irl and it took a bit of faffing but they feel really nice to draw with :-)

it’s interesting to think about the phases I’ve gone through with my taste in brushes. I’ve used soft brushes, hard brushes, textured brushes, untextured brushes… a lot of it is about striking a balance that feels good to me, and what “feels good” is often mood-dependant!

I went on a walk today and I’m feeling a lot better :-)

starting to feel a lil burnt-out on drawing, I have a long weekend this week though, so hopefully that’ll give me some time to recharge :)

it may also be that I need to get better sleep or go outside. maybe I’ll go on a walk tomorrow.
