I got myself a bit overwhelmed, but I think if I scale things back I can get back into the swing of things. Mixed some positive affirmations into the sketch sheet too!

Real talk tho, I have done this with most everything I do. Even as a streamer (shhh) I just sorta threw myself into it, but that's a bit easier. You just get the software you need, get set up, hit the "go live" button, play games, and yap! Art is a little more complicated than that as it turns out.

I'm hoping that with more time and structure I'll be able to enjoy art again and really throw myself into it. I hope I'll have more for you all soon, but it might be another bit. Til the next time. /End

I guess I'm having trouble with my feelings toward art and my vision. It's not even that I'm comparing myself to those with more experience, I'm comparing myself to me. What I can say is that I'm in the process of improving my work-life balance. /3

There was something exciting about delving into my old sketches and trying to recapture that feeling. Somehow I felt like my new sketches were inferior in a sense to the old ones. It's hard to explain, but I think it comes from the fact that my old sketches were done entirely for the sake of art. /2

Not finishing it tonight because it's late, but I'm hoping to finish it tomorrow while my partner is at work so I can post it before we go out for Valentine's dinner.

To quote Kurt Vonnegut, "We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down."

Also, I might finally make something I want to use as a pfp and thank fuck for that!

Plus side, I've had a lot of ideas and I'm thinking that I'm gonna want to draw some stuff from imagination instead of just drawing from reference like I have been. Even if it's not great, it won't matter, because it's just a step along in the process and I'm happy to be here taking my shots at it.
