Monthly Checkup #8: Content Perhaps?
Added 2021-08-03 04:20:49 +0000 UTCHey everyone, I have a small update to let you know what's going on!
I have a few ideas swimming in my head for Patreon content, so hopefully this month you'll see some juicy new early access art to enjoy.
My medication is working pretty well, but anyone else who suffers from anxiety and depression knows that medicine can only do so much. Sometimes, I'll have emotional spirals although it's very rare now and easier to control.
Everything else seems fine. Although motivation has been up and down, I'm not giving up. I sometimes feel pretty badly about my art, like it's becoming stagnant. But I can just... rectify that by drawing some simple doodles for Patreon content, which is what I should be doing anyway when it comes to drawing for myself. What do you think?

Trying new things is always a good idea. I think you have a good plan going!

If you feel your art is stuck, maybe experiment with new styles. Sure, they may be rough at first, but with time, who knows?

2021-08-03 17:40:48 +0000 UTCThank you for the kind words, Kar! I'll try my best. I really can't make any promises, since so much of my motivation and energy is devoted to commissions... but maybe it's time for a paradigm shift into drawing art for myself, which therefore can become stuff for my Patreon.
