Taking a Little Break
8 months ago
Short version: I’m going to take a break from posting for a while for my mental well-being.
Long version:
Lately, I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed, and it’s been hard to focus on drawing. Things that used to come easily now feel really difficult, almost like my hand isn’t cooperating. It’s nothing new for me, but it’s still frustrating.
I still have a commission left and a couple of pending projects to finish, but after that, I think I’ll take a break for about a month—maybe a little less, maybe a little more—just to clear my mind. I feel like I’ve been pushing myself too hard in too many areas, and it’s catching up with me.
I’ve learned from past experiences tho. In 2023, something similar happened, I barely made it to May before I had to stop drawing for months. This time, instead of reaching full burnout and shutting down completely, I’m choosing to pause now.
I’ll try to stay more active on my social media and share some drawings there when I can. If I forgot to say something, I'll post it in another journal ^^

(I know it sounds contradictory, but the pressure to make each drawing better than the last was really getting to me. I'm going to take some time to draw without stress)
