Hello on a Wednesday morning!
Hope everyone's doing great. I have been passing my weak in peace until yesterday when I screwed up my art piece and it all started with good intentions. New year, new drama.
See, I created an illustration of a woman which I liked very much so Tuesday, I started another one just like that. It wasn't a portrait but almost full body, I'll say knee length. Anyway, as I worked on the second illustration, I made decisions which caused me to return to the first time make some significant changes and additions. By evening I had what I believed was a finished piece. I got all excited to post it since it was the start of a collection.
So there I was creating a new post when I thought "I should create another point of view; a portrait mode. So I cropped the canvas and created this;
All seems well, right?
It was at this point I made a crucial mistake. Usually when I finish a drawing, I always export it to a fresh canvas where I can experiments on colour options and canvas size(mostly reducing the size for better uploads online). For some reason I was 'self distracted', I altered the main project canvas. That in itself is not a problem provided you undo such changes before exiting the project file. Well you can already guess I did exit with undoing the cropping. Wah!!! It was a shock to my system when I realised what I did. No backups, just gone.

I destroyed my artwork so I'm going to redraw it!
Today I hope. It would make me feel better and it's a chance for revisions. But then again, I started playing some crafting and survival game last night that kept me up through the night. I'm going to need a serious pick me up meal because I am tired from not sleeping much. Afterwhich I suspect I'll continue playing that game again. So good luck to me on that redraw.
Thank you for your attention, take care and stay safe.
P.S the wonderful irony in it all, is that, the illustration had a speech bubble with the words "You better learn your lesson yourself". Made me laugh, dark humour. Did I predict this unfortunate event?
