doodles and a wip and a ramble about life recently under read more lolz

ok follow up on me not doing so great: a part of it has been because i’ve been in a huge creative slump recently. pair that with the fact that i’ve basically been operating with the mindset of “you have to make one complete drawing a week or else you’re a failure PLUS you lose relevancy online” & the fact that my mental hasn’t been that great for non-art related reasons, me burning out was pretty inevitable.

yeah.

so that’s why there’s been a lack of art (though, “lack of” for me means no complete work for two days. i have akito syndrome, ik) lately… well, i told myself i’d stop trying to force drawings by just sitting on blank canvases and trying to draw or scrolling pinterest. i just… let myself not be productive for a bit. doomscroll reels or whatever. watch youtube for fun. that stuff. its been sorta nice. i actually did my homework and i haven’t drawn at all besides when i wanted to. never though watching instagram reels would help my mental state, but hey!

anyways, i think a part of the creative slump has been caused by boredom with my current media of choice. like, digital art software is insanely powerful, duh. but ive been doing mostly this for years (literally! since 2017!) bar the work for studio art classes. i just never had what felt like “enough materials” to make stuff look good. but, i saw this really cool paper layering art the other day on pinterest and said “fuck it. you have cardstock and scissors, lets try something.” and, well, i’m making this little card thingy and really enjoying it so it worked!

i, like probably every artist or creative or every person ever, don’t want to make something bad. so i hit this road block with traditional media oftentimes. i’m terrified to start coloring this thing, i can either use crayon or marker… or a limited selection of colored pencils. scary. but, well, if it looks shit i’ll digitalize each of the paper parts, print them out, cut them out, and make a new version. it’ll be okay (i write this more for my sake than anyone else’s)

this piece isn’t gonna be all of my solved but at least i’m feeling good about working on a project i’d consider “a complete art piece” and not feeling shit working on it so.

still haven’t really improved the mental though, taking a break has helped but it can’t cure the anxiety and the whole “fear of high school ending and still having achieved nothing.” but, you know, we live with it.

i’m happy with this paper thing though.
