Reminders - signs

A little series of reminders that I find to be really useful.

First off, these days we're sometimes so used to programs auto-saving our work for us, so we don't have to worry about it. However, not all programs do this, and I cannot tell you how many times I've lost hours of work because I forgot to save my work. So, please, take this as a reminder to save your work.

On a similar note it's also important to remember to do backups of your work, but also your devices. I know a lot of us do backups to cloud storage and so on. But sometimes it can be really useful to do a backup yourself.

And finally there's the Hail Hydrate reminder. This actually is one I need the most, and one I think most of us need the most as well. As some might realise this is a play on "Hail Hydra" from the Marvel Universe, but changed into being about staying hydrated as well. I cannot take credit for this though, as it's a reminder and wording I've seen used on many art streams, and something that's just stuck with me, and is a reminder I use among my friends as well now.

These were illustrations painted during my yearly limited colour palette challenge, Huely, which takes place during July. The aim of the challenge of it is to use a maximum of five colours to create an illustration or design, though black and white can also be added if needed, likewise with layer and blending styles.
