Very Tired

I had drawing projects that I wanted to complete recently, but this last week I have had no energy. It's very hard for me to get out of bed or even go outside of my home. Today I figured out what the problem might be- I had recently stopped drinking Sweet Tea/Iced Tea. Not for good, but I wanted to take a break and see how long I could go without sweet tea. I really wanted to stop feeling the need to drink tea everyday and decrease my sugar consumption which is pretty high, in my opinion.

The problem is that not only do I lose the energy from sugar but, more importantly, I lose the caffeine boost. You would not think black tea had enough caffeine to even matter. However, I brewed some tea today (unsweet) and after consuming most of it, I felt a lot better and instantly regained my energy. I'm still trying to cut back on sugar, so I will have to suffer through unsweet for awhile. It's either drink unsweet tea or feel tired all the time and never get around to completing any of my artwork. And I'm pretty slow with my drawing even with the tea, so meh.

Some mini art




I feel bad for not updating in awhile. I still draw/sketch, though... Here are some ACEOs (Art cards, editions and originals) that I have completed- they were all done with Prismacolor color pencils and gouache paint. It's interesting trying to create a drawing on something that's only 2.5x3.5 in size.

I will soon put them up for sale in my Etsy shop. ^-^
