Hello guys, I took a week off from 30min sketches, but I finally did a few today. I'm done playing Terraria and was feeling a bit melancholic. Like when you finish a book series and know there won't be more. Do you get the feeling with movies/books/shows/games?

I'm fortunate that I work from home and I can take breaks when I want/need and when I feel motivated I make up for the missed time. I get highs and lows in motivation constantly and I try to accept it, since alternative frustration doesn't help anyways. Are you consistent with your creative work?
For Daily Spitpaints there are 4 new themes every day and I picked Crystal cave, since it was easiest for me. I've painted crystal caves several times before.
I've been using a lot of blues in these sketches, I plan to use them more until I feel I've mastered them.
The main challenge was getting the sense of depth. In general what's closer appears stronger/darker/more saturated. However, since there is no proper light source, I inverted this "rule".
I wasn't exactly sure of the brush strokes, but I just relaxed and didn't think too much about it. These sketches are meant more as exploration than finished works. I've been considering trying more style variations, will see how that goes :D
