Sometimes its more about maintaining flow and finding the thing you want to finish or can handle. Sometimes it's just daydreaming or meditating or coming up with the idea. There is creative rest. For my college art classes I'll spend hours laying down or "sleep on it" literally before doing.

Yeah, I've had to do this dude. I have tons of illustrations that aren't or may never be "finished" and I recently been dropping stuff from like 2023-2024 that were still good sketches. Shit, my Mitch-Kun's Mansion ost art sat as a sketch for a YEAR before I revisited it and it's kinda peak.

Like, it's not fun and usually not your best work drawing off the cuff without a story to tell or clear vision. That feels more adversarial than "spark of inspiration" illustrations that you can pour days into and feel your soul rewarded.

Yeah and that's a good mentality, if you're TOO objective you don't enjoy anything or experience rest and that leads to burnout. It sounds more like they're struggling with blank canvas and meandering; that requires a bit of daydreaming, meditation, journaling, etc. Rest that's still creative.

Yeah that makes sense, I've been spending less time drawing and more time frontloading with writing and creating a stage and scenarios to justify it. Blank canvas syndrome is real, I've been challenged by but enjoy having a story or moment to express rather than going in blind so I get it.

You're definitely putting out more art than me, That's why I suggested committing to X amount of time towards it more than setting a goal on amount. Don't burn yourself out, but adjust as you need to to stay sane

yeah the glow is beautiful but not overdone, you nailed it

Honestly this is REALLY PRETTY ❤️

Chapter 5 is in progress as well. Look forward to more of Cornelius messing with the plot.
