I'm trying to advance as much as possible with projects and drawings I was owing, this is the month I can advance as much as I can, in February times will become crazy once again, I will be some time out, but I'm planning to open for very simple commissions to be doing all along February, just to not be short on money. That I don't know what happens with modern times, everything is so expensive. Since when Mexico stopped being affordable? Or I don't know what I am doing wrong with my expenses, but I barely can pay things, I just receive payments that in old times I would have said "Oh wow, this pays completely my whole month!" and now it just pays something small and I need to be worrying how I'm going to get more money to survive the rest of the month. Also this tends to happen in January, I don't know if it is worldwide similar but we call it here "La cuesta de Enero" (January slope). Since I was a kid I always heard about it but I never got to experience it until I was adult. Many times I wish I could go back and to ignore all these aspects from adult life; many times I wish I could live in a cave and just enjoy my life drawing and painting.
But indeed, I'm very grateul with life that I can call as a job something that I enjoy to do, out of all the adult aspects that I still need to face anyway, but this is thanks to all of you who are supporting me monthly, without Patreon I don't know how I would do this, I would be stuck in eternal commissions.
And as you can see, I'm even able to work again on the Art & Biro comic, I started sketching the 2nd page, the 1st page is completely sketched but of course it still needs a lot of work. I'm really excited for the continuation of this project, and that despite I'm working on so many projects at the same time I'm able to continue it.
Also I've been working on stickers for Sheriff Raccoon (as Patreon reward); and Zander and Skylar, which stickers pack is too long that I haven't been able to finish X_X I almost sketch all of them!
I've been working a really lot in traditional media lately. Last week I finished a traditional piece that I will share with all of you in some weeks (it happened to be a surprise picture, a gift, so I prefer to keep the surprise not showing it to anyone yet.
Then here is this piece I'm showing you now, in acrylics. And I'm about to start a new one, that probably I will work with acrylis + color pencils.
This is the description I will share tomorrow on my galleries:

The weight of our thoughts feels lighter when we let them drift with the clouds. In that quiet moment, we find ourselves caught between reflection and introspection, looking at everything and nothing all at once.

And that's it!
As I've been repeating on the last months: I'm very sorry for being so away from Telegram, I still have tons of unread messages, I'm gonna be replying them when I can.
Roni and I's birthdays are upcoming! Yay! One year older!
I'm also gonna work on the new Clubhouse pin for 2025, I already have some ideas.
And uff, I thought this month was going to be exclusively for working and staying in my house but my family is planning things that are making me to visit them in my hometown, I will try to keep advancing there (despite it is very difficult to keep working at my parents house, my mom always wants me to help her in thousand things, and even when she knows this is my work, when she sees me in my tablet or drawing in a sketchbook, she thinks I'm doing nothing and she really wants me to be more productive, aaah) (I love my parents so much, tho)
Thank you once again for your support, it means so much to me!
Panda hugs
