I've been in quite an art block lately and have found myself really hitting a wall, especially when it comes to drawing digitally. While I've found that working with more physical projects has helped a lot, I recently had a bout of motivation after going through a lot of my older work!
I still remember the period where I reaaaally struggled with my art. I had a lot of ideas but I had a hard time executing them to match what was in my head. I feel much more confident in my abilities these days, and am happier with where my style has gone, so its crazy exciting to see how it compares to before! I feel like its given me a huge change of perspective and helped motivate me again! Ive pulled out a bunch of other oldies i liked too, so defs want to do more re-draws!
I've been having a lot of complicated feelings about social media lately (as I'm sure we all do). I feel like we've been slowly watching it wither away from the fun community it used to be to some evil soul sucking black hole and its just really been keeping me away from posting and engaging like I wish I could.
I've felt burned out by the pace of it all. How the fun of posting Art Stuff on the internet has degraded. I feel like I can't post something to connect with a community or show what ive been working on, I have to post something to do well and then immediately forget that post and move onto the next one which needs to be better and it just... sucks.
I know Im not saying anything new about the subject but I've just been so frustrated lol. I go through these periods of pouring as much as I can while working full time into these online places and then I sink and burn myself out
I wanna be able to share my thoughts! I wanna be able to talk to my friends and meet new ones! I want a slow and healthy pace where I can enjoy the things I love and share my own stuff!
I don't really have a grand point to make here lol Im just tired! And burnt out! And I miss engaging with people online! And it sucks!
