Once again, this is a journal where I'm gonna tell how I'm going to get more active with doing artsy stuff.. But it'll be more likely true (and easier) this time! I have a new computer (well, I've had this one for like four months already) and finally I have my own drawing tablet. I used to use my sister's tablet but she wanted it back like about a year ago. But no worries, now I have some new black markers for traditional drawing and Wacom Intuos for digital art.
Lately I have been just taking some photos with my phone, making friends (*cough* and drinking) at my favourite bar and been tired and in pain. So, normal stuff. I had a summer job and also worked as a volunteer at one Finnish summer festival (Provinssirock) selling alcohol products. About that pain mentioned earlier, I've been eating painkillers for most of the summer 'cause my hands have had some issues which came from doing schoolwork - that is also a reason why I haven't drawn for a while. Little less than two months of pain, but now my hands are almost okay and there are just few painkillers left.
Now I'm on my summer holiday and bored as hell. Thinking about new tattoos, doing art, taking photos, buying a guitar and getting a pet. Mostly. Oh, and my sis shaved me a sidecut for both sides of my head. You'l get pics of that maybe someday.
Anyways, I'm still alive. Toodles! o/

Nonsense
For the past few years I've been going back and forth with deleting my account, cleaning it up or starting a new one. But tbh I've come to the conclusion that I want to keep this account and just maybe clean it up a bit. And though I may not like all my older works, I like that there is a place where those can still be found. And after all Niittylilja is my "artist name" or whatever, so that's also a reason to keep this account.
My art may be very different nowadays than it was when I started with dA, I think that lots of my followers followed me mostly for my horse art. Now I do more landscape practises and different themes than I did then,
Programs for recording your drawing process?
Hey, could someone tell me if they know any good programs for recording your drawing with tablet? I'd like to make video out of my drawing process but I've never used programs like that before and I am very suspicious about dowloading new programs because of possible viruses and such. So I'd like to have some advice and opinions on any free recording programs.
Cleaning up my dA a bit
Yeah, I got kinda fed up with the fact how messy my deviantart was. It's one of the reasons I've been so lazy to visit here. I deleted some old pics (not all of course) and journals that didn't seem necessary to keep in here anymore. I would like to clean up my favourites too but there are so so much of those........ Maybe I'll just accept that it's a mess with lots of old stuff that I may have used to like but not today. It's not such a big deal I guess.
This cleaning is still a bit in a process but I wish this makes me more eager to upload pics here again.
Just some quick self-advertising
I've had this photo-blog in tumblr for some time already so this journal is just a quick advert for this one: http://glimmerspots.tumblr.com/
I post my own photos there from time to time, mainly nature-related stuff. Lots of sunsets, playing with lights and shadows and stuff like that.

Good to hear that you're better (although I completely missed out that your pain was so bad again) I hope you get to do some artsy stuff during your boring holiday
