Golly golly gosh, week three already people!! Is time going by super quickly for you all or is it just me? Three weeks is a decent length for an everyday project but it really has flown by for me.
This has been my most challenging week so far due to a combination of not staying on top of the illustrations, and having to illustrate some HUGE constellations! I don't know why for sure, but my normal practice of doing the day's illustration the night before went right out the window for me this week. I often found myself quickly finishing them off right before I head off to work so I'm certain that I can photograph them well enough and get them posted for the day. Thankfully I haven't missed a day yet, but I certainly came very close to that a couple of times in the last week! I found this to be much more stressful and frustrating for me so I am making sure to go back to readying the illustrations the night before again! We also had some quite tricky constellations to illustrate this week. Carina, Centaurus and Cetus are all huge sprawling constellations in the sky, so trying to get the proportions and shape right in a teeny A6 illustration was quite challenging. I'm very happy with how Carina and Cetus turned out, but I planned Centaurus so badly that I had to cut off some of the constellation as I set it up far too big! I'm trying to be really careful with the larger constellations now so that doesn't happen again, so at least I have learnt my lesson!
So it's been a challenging week, but also the week where I have learnt the most in so I'm happy with that!
