a new tool

I got a new toy in the mail this week.


A stylus.  I've been wanting one for a while, but just hadn't gotten around to getting one.  I had ordered a new case for my ipad and a stylus came with it.  Even though it's just a cheap little thing, I immediately wanted to try it out for my blog doodles.


Prior to this point, I've been drawing my doodles with just my finger on my ipad sketch app.  Not the most precision tool, clearly.  So, naturally I was excited at the possibility that maybe a stylus could improve the quality of my blog sketches, at least so my characters could look like actual people.


But, as so often it happens, my expectations don't always meet the reality of just how lazy I am when it comes to "art":


And so, dear readers of this crap blog, I'm afraid to report that while a stylus might improve upon the time it takes to make these posts, it most certainly does not improve the quality.  At first, I was disappointed. 


But then I came to terms with the reality of the nature of this blog.  If the art was good, then I'm not sure I would actually enjoy telling my silly mundane stories.  However, for now, I will just reflect upon my disappointing narratives and mediocre talents. 


I have the makings of a new post underway!  Hopefully I won't wait too long to get it out.  I realized I didn't post at all in June, but hopefully now that my summer internship is almost over I can blog a little more often.  Until then... Cheerio loves!
