My new apartment is particularly more cold than back at home. The location is just colder, it’s in a lower elevation than my old place. I’m still trying to manage this cold weather, but like every winter, I tend to handle the cold very badly :s. I’m just a tropical creature by nature!

Now I  know it’s probably like 10 times cooler in other parts of the U.S. (I’m in California) but here on the west coast, we experience drastic weather shifts all throughout the year. In the summer time, it’s burning hot and in the winter, it’s freezing cold! The weather is never ‘just right’ like how they depict our state in movies. It makes me mad sometimes because tourists come here with the perception that California is a “sunny state” all year around, when that’s definitely not the case at all.

On a side note, be sure to check out the resources page sometime to find the new tutorials I’ve posted up lately. I’ve been trying to add 1 new tutorial everyday, i’m still on my roll. :3

So anyway, I just realized how much I multitask while I draw sometimes…I think it has a lot to do with my tight schedule and how little time I have these days. 90% of the time that I’m drawing something, I’ve either got the t.v. going on in front of me, I’m watching a video or studying for a test (I know that’s really crazy and probably a little bit irresponsible, but what can I do?)

I was actually watching videos on Youtube while coloring this drawing. Something tells me that I’m not alone in this. I’m pretty sure that there are many artists who also have tight schedules as well and find themselves multitasking more times than they are not.

Back when I used to play video games, I was really, really bad with the multitasking thing. When I was a Wow fanatic, I used to draw my comic pages while my toon was flying to her destination. If you’ve ever played Wow, sometimes it would literally take about 30-45 minutes just to get to one place, so rather than waiting around and doing nothing, I got to drawing! And you know what, it actually worked for me xD.

On another not, I have a new tutorial up! You can access it through the link I posted or in the resources section of this blog. Also, be sure to check out my latest  screen cast as well. Have a good day!
