Take care of your favorite authors, you have no idea how much influence even simple words of support have. Art is fully realized when there is someone who has emotions about it.
Don't hide these emotions
Did some 2D and 3D stuff yesterday. One is yet another 3/4 headshot to throw in the pile of practice ones I've done and the other is the first WIP render of a VRChat world I'm making.
However, the regularity of it all was extremely useful and did lead to improvement. I'm gonna try and come up with a new schedule that allows me to try and grow my skills without risk of burnout or monotony.
Update on drawing (for those 3 friends of mine who follow), I noticed I had stopped drawing to improve and that the fun I had in the beginning was replaced with a feeling of meeting deadlines and quotas.
Well, it's dawned on me that my semi-daily drawing days are done due to disinterest and disappearing drive. Despite that, I do plan to draw more dudes and dicks, just less dutifully and without dread of deadlines and due dates.
Still a day behind, but at least I did get something else out. Happy with the direction I'm headed but there's certainly gonna be some refinement on this piece before I consider it done.
I will start and draw a new piece for today, day 129 - 5/2.
I do make-up work to a higher quality than my dailies since it feels like cheating otherwise and I make sure I benefit from it instead of punishing myself. Don't know what the second piece will be just yet.
