chopstickdays

Hi everyone, since I haven't had the time post new Chopstick Days comics that often, I'm starting up a new, less-formal, daily drawing project. Most of the drawings/doodles will be in the same art style as Chopstick Days, but less finalized (a little more rough, not digital, colored, uncleaned lineart, etc). And I'll be posting one or more everyday.

By no means does this mean the end of Chopstick Days, it's just that it takes a long time to draw digitally, color, and post Chopstick Days comics on a regular schedule. Chopstick Days comics will still be coming out (albeit a little less often), but I'll be posting rough Daily Drawings in the same style everyday.

If you're a fan of Chopstick Days and the lack of updates makes you sad, please follow my daily drawings on any of the following sites:

Another reason for starting this project is that I also noticed that ever since I started doing more of my art digitally, I rarely draw on paper at all. I once filled multiple sketchbooks every year... but I haven't filled an entire sketchbook since my first years of college. I've been making excuses for years, but I decided that from now on, I will upload at least one or more drawings a day. There's no particular criteria for a drawing -- they can be random, text-only, insightful, ugly, anything -- as long as I draw them by hand and post at least one per day. If I miss a day, I must post an extra drawing for the previous day.

I've decided to post this on the internet to hold myself accountable; no skipping out because I feel too busy, lazy, or tired. I've also never managed to keep a personal journal before -- this will act as a record of my thoughts, experiences, interactions, random musings...

If you miss Chopstick Days, and you're interested in seeing a little bit of the happenings of my life and the workings of my mind, please feel free to follow along.

Thanks, everyone.

Hello all, how are you?
Staying warm and enjoying the holidays, I hope!

I announced this a while back on the Chopstick Days Facebook Page, but I decided to keep my Chopstick Days webcomic on break until after the holidays. Sorry everyone!!!

To be honest, I got a new job in October, as well as a bunch of new freelance illustration work. (Yay!) While I shouldn't be complaining about being busy (I love my work!), it has left me with barely any time to do anything, much less draw. (Boo!) Instead of forcing out webcomics just for the sake of updates, I decided to take a break in order to focus on work. I hope you all understand that I want to create good comics that I'm proud of, not just hastily-scribbled ones...

That being said, I luckily get to go home for the holidays (it's been 2 years! D and I'm planning on drawing a bunch of comics while I'm there. While I haven't had time to draw recently, I HAVE been writing a bunch of ideas and stuff down for new content. I can't wait to finally release it!

Thank you for your patience and thank you for being a fan of Chopstick Days!
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi everyone, I announced this on Facebook already, but thought I should explain here as well so nobody freaks out:

Due to all sorts of craziness, Chopstick Days is on hiatus for the month of October.
Regular updates will be back on schedule in November.

Sorry for the lack of updates! I thought about it, and decided that it's better to just take a break, instead of rushing to pump out poor quality comics just to stay on schedule. I want to enjoy drawing and be proud of each comic I put out, instead of having these comics feel forced. I hope you can understand. >.<

Thank you for your patience and thank you for being a fan of Chopstick Days!

About this comic:
Chopstick Days is a webcomic by Kristen Kohashi - designer, illustrator, asian girl, and all-around geek.

She draws stuff from her life. Observations, events, memories, musings… Occasional infographics and parodies. Pretty much anything that makes her chuckle. She has an odd sense of humor.

Most of the comics are true stories.
