#need the rest for the Brain Juices 💪💪💪

[orcelito]

Made some progress on ITNL 15 editing during some downtime in my shift today. I think the writing juices are through for now, but I made progress, and now I am Even Closer to done...

Gonna try my best to finish writing first thing tomorrow so I can maybe be done with editing about midday. Best case scenario, I could have an update out within... 16 hours? Within 24 hours tho almost definitely.

Soon...

how do you fight art block? do you like doodles or sketch? :)

Hello Anon! 👋 Thanks for asking ^^🌸

1) It really depends on your drive! Most of what I draw is to fulfill my own needs for a specific kind of content and to emulate the style for the lolz. The challenge stimulates the brain juice 🧠 🧃

For some, if I have the idea but not the motivation, it’s gotta be jotted down lest I forget. Don’t worry if it sucks now, that’s the purpose of rough drafts and preliminary sketches! Some of the finished works you see, they had been planned for weeks or even months.

Human Peter, who is my best example to come to mind, took around 6 months(?) in my noggin before I can fully flesh him out. My Ynsona’s current design is give-or-take 3 weeks at most, because I didn’t account for actually being into self-shipping. My style that is specifically developed for YBF is a whole year-and-counting process.

So after you sketched out your ideas to the side, this would be the best time to do some homework on the kind of style you wish to aim for. Like what parts did you liked from the referenced style, and what parts you think could have more oomf to apply to your own? For my example, I took on multiple styles to this approach. E.g. Classic Disney, W.I.T.C.H., Gorillaz… to add to the “YB” style. Anything that resembles that it came from the 2YK (best year for aesthetics fr 😩✨).

My explanation on how I fight art block can be nonlinear and convoluted. My apologies, Anon! 🙏💦

Best to summarize, I want to create something to eventually be worth leaving behind, so it’s a long term goal to work towards that. Drawing fanart and derivative works serves as a test rat to figure out my own approach.

As long you know what you want during burnout, allow yourself some rest and resume building when you do get into the mood. Don’t beat yourself up for having a drained battery 💪✨

Be like “It gets there when it gets there!”

2) Hmm! Both! Both is good 😤 and it depends on the mood! Doodles are fun and not serious, so it takes the pressure off to be perfect. It makes a good “scratch paper” in trying out new brushes or coloring techniques. You can use the breakthrough from that in your next project! :0

Sketches are fun as well, and it helps build the foundation of what could be the next finished work when the mood comes around. It helps me apply my developing knowledge of anatomy, composition, and posing. The sketches can both be a standalone or you can choose to finish it. The choose is yours~
