My laptop has only USB C ports so plugging in a tablet always ends up feeling like more trouble than it&#8217;s worth. There also wasn&#8217;t really a designated &#8220;tablet&#8221; space as such in the house, which would lead me to trying to draw from the couch in rather awkward ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve recently had my PC repaired, and now have my large tablet permanently plugged into it. I had to pull out some old drivers to get it running but it works and I&#8217;m thinking that Avian August will be a great way to get back into some digital pieces without feeling any pressure about quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not sure what my plans are going to be for the rest of the month, but like other years I figure I&#8217;ll start the month off on a good footing and if things take a hold from there we&#8217;ll continue, but if they don&#8217;t then again, no pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good luck to all the other artists and bloggers out there! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ale.chenonetta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"854\" src=\"https:\/\/ale.chenonetta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ale.chenonetta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image.png 1000w, https:\/\/ale.chenonetta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-300x256.png 300w, https:\/\/ale.chenonetta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-768x656.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is Avian August \/ Blaugust, the time of year when my blog rises briefly from the dead!
