color frustration, burnout, and things im working on
4 days ago
General
one thing i absolutely hate about drawing digitally is that my art shows up completely differently on my phone vs my laptop - it always looks so good on my laptop but the minute i check furaffinity on my phone the colors are completely wrecked -_- i mean so much detail and shading is almost invisible!! it's not really a big deal, just kind of annoying
i feel like my art has been lackluster lately just because of my lack of motivation and how much my attention has been divided. im working on several different projects right now - a lot of writing fanfic on ao3, working on a webcomic project that I've been wanting to make for years, that's still in it's early stages (seriously, i only have a truckload of concept art and 7 panels done so far) and doing my regular art stuff all at once - so i feel pretty spread thin creatively.
i need to keep in mind that nobody is rushing my process of making art - and ever since i narrowed my social media presence down to just furaffinity and nothing else, the pressure is basically nonexistent. but it wont stop me from pressuring myself 😅😅 that's just what it's like to be an artist, especially if you're like me and you consider your art to be your life's work.
if you're also an artist, im sure you deal with a lot of these same things... which is part of why i love having an artist community full of chill, creative weirdos like myself ❤️

i also get that feeling of pressure! sometimes i worry about not writing enough, but i need to remember that i write best when i write for myself, and i'm not rushing myself, so it's fine to not write for a while
