Hello, I'll just use this as my January journal + the happy new years one everyone's doing.

My hand started hurting again, I've been pretty sad about it. I begrudgingly decided to not draw, which is the objectively correct decision, any artist can tell you that... But I don't feel like I have time for breaks, I'm already so so far behind...

I have a voice in my head that tells me that 10 years of hard work and I have nothing to show for it other than my wrist hurting, it's pretty lame, I'm trying to ignore it.

Whatever the case, I don't wanna be too sad about this, my December journal was already pretty depressing. So in another note, I was looking through my 2024 folder of art because I was thinking of what I'd pick if I were to do a 2024 summary (I'm not doing it), and man, I sure don't color, at all! Or paint as much as I'd like.
I'm pretty scared of leaving my comfort zones.

And my comfort zones are just, sketches, and not even full body ones, I have a hard time with limbs and legs, a problem of how I construct bodies from the ground up I guess... So I'll try to color more this year! (Aaand maybe find a better way to construct my whole poses faster) I'm always saying I need to get better but I barely make an effort to break out of my habits, right <w<? Tell me I'm right on that...

Well, whatever the case, thank you for reading this, enjoying my work, saying nice things, or whatever it is you do when you interact with my art, really. And happy new years.
