Hi, guys!

Lately I've been having a hard time focusing and blogging regularly. The city is now insanely hot, and my body, in principle, refuses to move from any point A to point B, let alone conduct some kind of vigorous activity.

But it still has to be carried out, a lot of work has accumulated that needs to be done, and it always seems to me that if it were at least five degrees colder, it would be much easier to cope with the tasks.

Yesterday, while I walked 200 meters to the gym, it already seemed to me that I could smell the smell of fried meat from myself. And it was also very hard to train, despite the air conditioning. I even doubt that it is very useful - training in such conditions, but since without training I lose even more health - I have to get out.

My portrait stylization course continues and gradually flows into the second course, in which I will draw movie and cartoon characters. It is taught by the same teacher, and I really hope that I will have enough perseverance to do everything right. There are two months of summer left, my least favorite time of the year (yes, all because of the terrible heat), when I really can’t walk the dog because the hot asphalt burns her little paws, and I better spend this time usefully.

The war continues, and, of course, it puts a lot of pressure on the psyche. I won't go into detail about exactly how. I just want this nightmare to end.

My latest work from the portrait course:
