@stevenspohn My choice for calming down is listening to a conversation others are having, about a topic unrelated to my situation. So like a podcast or an interview, maybe a talk.
@PeachMilky_ I've really gotten into crocheting. Can make a lot of cute and useful things! That's my "offline hobby" to take me away from the screen haha
@Numo_0 Personally more a fan of natural colours and shades, so my outlines are never black unless the piece really screams for it for style reasons (usually more retro-classic gaming vibes). I do rough outlines in the early process though for planning.
@Numo_0 Regarding feedback I see it much more relaxed too. Although my goal isn't to achieve perfection anymore, I still like to learn. But most of the time I think giving honest feedback when feedback is asked for is the best way to go about it? Highlight 1 good thing, criticize 1 bad.
@Numo_0 Now I just do anything I think is fun. One day it's a pixel art piece, the other day I crochet something, then I bake a huge cake, there are no limits haha! Since "art" is not my job anymore it's become fun again for me.
