Miniature Portrait - 1

Over the past few months, I have struggled to maintain consistency in creating artwork or anything else. Unexpected events have come out of nowhere and completely disrupted my life (for a time being) resulting in the largest creative, financial, and motivational block I have ever experienced. Every moment feels like a struggle, but I am trying my best to gather the mental courage needed to move forward.

Since my social media is primarily focused on my art, I will write on the challenges I am facing in that area.

One reason for my struggle is that I am not satisfied with the art I am creating. It's not about the end product's perfection or quality, but rather the process itself. I am juggling between too many software and techniques in an attempt to discover my art style, which is making me less productive as I am not able to fully immerse myself in the learning curve. Seeing others post their work every day has made me feel like I need to use quick and easy techniques, causing me to forget that “Good Things Take Time”, “Good Art Takes Time." (No offence to those who post frequently; everyone has their own pace.) I have created animations, digital artworks, and vector artworks inspired by numerous fantastic artists I follow on social media, but I have not enjoyed the process. Perhaps the abundance of things I can do is preventing me from pursuing the one thing I love.

As a result, I have decided to limit myself for a while. I will take a break from Digital Art since it offers too many options and possibilities that will continue to distract me. Nonetheless, it will always remain a part of my creative process in other areas such as films and music videos.

Also, while painting this small artwork recently, I discovered something therapeutic about the process of using traditional media. There is something special about the tactile feeling of brushes, pencils, colors, and paper. 

Unlike digital art, there is no way to undo mistakes, so I have to focus on each breath while painting each stroke. Just as life (Too Bollywood).

Let's see how far will this go.

Just felt like sharing this with you all.

Although this long caption may seem irrelevant to this post.

Regarding the other problems I am facing, I am working on finding ways to solve them. It's difficult, but it's only a temporary phase.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS.

Season: A letter to the future.

This artwork is inspired by one of the most breathtaking and beautiful games I’ve ever seen (not played it yet). The game is based on a young woman from a small village documenting the world as it comes to an end. Can’t wait to get my hands on this one.
