Musing about drawing

I haven't been drawing much of my own stuff, as in stuff that aren't fanart or digital drawing pratice.

And when I spend like 1 hour on a bust drawing with only neck shadows, I know I need to get back to drawing on paper very fast.

Sigh.

When will I ever finish my old stuff if I keep doing new stuff? It's a viscious cycle.

Or I should learn to let go.

There must be some reason why I left some of the unfinished stuff untouched for months or even years.

I couldn't find the urge to finish them, I supposed. Yet I can't bear to let them remain like that.

What a paradox. : /

Musing about photography

I have been editing photographs in PSE since I lost my PS program when reformatting the PC.

Sometimes I wonder how much editing to do. Editing too much seems to miss the point of using the camera. Editing too little seems to belittle the potential in that photograph.

I know you should try to take a photograph as best as you can and minimise editing.

But it's hard.

What you see is one thing and what your camera can capture can be another thing together.

Sometimes I edit the photographs like months after they were taken. By then, I might have fogotten what the original scene looked like and do the editing based on intuition.

Sometimes the photograph gives more zest in another colour scheme.

What I use is only a Nikon Coolpix 5600, the consumer camera and it was bought second hand.

And I'm trying to use it like a photographer's camera. Kinda dumb, huh?
