Inktober - Maglor finished
Added 2019-10-05 11:15:01 +0000 UTCMy eyes prevented me from doing any art yesterday, but at least I put some colour on Maglor today. My basic hope for this year's Inktober is to get more pieces done than last year - that means more than six, so I guess I'm still on track!
I always compare my available eyesight to weight watcher points. I have 100 points of eyesight each day. 30 minutes of driving uses up 50. The same time reading with ridiculously large letters uses 30. Reading normal text - 50 points for five minutes. Drawing and watching TV - 50 points an hour. Painting uses a little less. Sitting with my eyes closed for an hour or more recharges some 20 to 30 points.
Life is slightly complicated.

I'm sorry to hear that your eyes are giving you such trouble. I love this Maglor, especially his expression.

I'm sorry your eyes are such a difficulty, Jenny. As someone who lives on a points/spoons system with M.E, I completely get how hard it is and I am both awed you manage the art you do with such an ongoing issue and grateful too!

2019-10-06 13:23:13 +0000 UTCI really simply avoid reading. To the point that I know what an illiterate must feel like. "Sorry, wrong glasses." - "How much sugar in those cereals... ah, to hell with it." At school, I have a huge glass bar that enlarges writing in books (plus I know most of the texts well enough); my computer is set to ridiculously large letters.
