Sketching outdoors, planning next NFT, and almost done with first animated NFT

I sketch everyday and many times that is out of doors, especially during these wonderful warm Autumn days.

Though I work mainly digitally now a days, most days also have very tactile 'old school' art supplies in them: charcoal, pastels, watercolour, pencil. I've many journals I doodle and sketch in and the light of out doors is refreshing, as my digital work often needs more darkness in my studio, as I'm working on a screen.

That old feeling of paper and chalk, dirty hands or the smear of charcoal and paints is hard to let go of, so I don't. And many times my digital work has begun with sketches on our beach in little books scanned later on to play with in my "digital studio"

I recently was looking at some digital pieces I had begun work on, that had begun as sketches in a journal, in considering my next NFT. So I couldn't help but make it into a little GIF

I'm not sure if our lovely lady here will be in the next one, but I know she'll make an appearance and I'm rather getting into my latest NFT. I've shared it many times thus far, as I add layers and play about with the various ways I'm animating it...My biggest concern now is can I upload the final 1/1 NFT piece , animated, as an MP4? If anyone knows if Makersplace allows that, do let me know.

I'm hoping, at least it's in my Studio journal for tomorrow, to FINISH that first NFT, animated, and get it up on Makersplace. And then my hope is to make 2 more pieces inspired by the same series of drawings and works I did on it in more 'sketchy' form for both SuperRare and the #nftshowroom . I believe NFT showrooms is priced in HIVE. Does anyone know if nft showrooms will allowe mp4 format?

Now, my last Vlog I discussed and talked about the ongoing NFT piece as well as the joy of sketching and a fun bit of walk, so if you'd like to watch that, here you go :

I hope you enjoy it and remember Stay Creative.
