Day thirteen of The 100 Day Project for 2021.
Once again, I've made it thinner than reality, though shorter than the proportions show BUT I feel comfortable that y'all would have known what this was without the source image.
To be honest, I couldnae be blathered creating the textures on the front of the padlock. Maybe another day but it was a bit more than I had the energy for tonight.
Mostly this week has been good, including starting a new contract with a new client for work potentially until June/July. It's so refreshing to be able to work as much or as little as I want/need to per week, being trusted to do it remotely and working the hours that work for me.
I know the pandemic has exposed a lot of self-employed folks leaving them with little support and it's truly shite but I really want to be (at least majority) self-employed. I won't go into the particulars here but it's so freeing even if the money might not be great to start with.
It's also been a stressful week because I've not had anywhere near enough sleep and I'm dealing with lots of financial and housing stuff which will probably work out okay but until it's sorted will continue to stress me.
I trust in getting a bunch of this stuff sorted asap and having a better week next week.
All that to say that I wanted something relatively easy to draw today. I thought about photographing the padlock upright from an angle and then convinced myself to make it easier and lie it down. To give me at least one concession today.
