Where I've been

Heya, it's been a minute. Turns out I didn't start posting again like I wanted to.
First off, I should give the usual reasoning. I've been very busy between work, school and social life. To be more specific though, I've been changing a lot of things about my process as well as how I spend my spare time.
I've been deeply unsatisfied with my art for a long time, but my attention span and motivation has been way too cooked to do anything about it. I've taken a step back, done some contemplation and I've been developing better habits. I have been taking my art more seriously as of late, genuinely wanting to improve and doing things with the purpose of improving.
a part of this is that I've avoided posting a lot of my work outside of smaller spaces. I found that often times I would try to rush out a drawing in one sitting with the intention of throwing it in bluesky ASAP. I can't do this anymore. It leads to rushed work and me not learning anything. Most importantly, it's extremely unsatisfying. I want to create more interesting filled out artwork outside of the occasional commission. I want to have the capacity to do things like that for myself without needing the commission incentive. To do this, I need to learn discipline and actually draw with the intention of returning later.
I don't know when I'll be back. I'm currently on a work trip that's taking all of my time (and privacy) away for the time being. I'm. Squeezing practice in where I can. I don't know what will be in store for me when I'm back so I can't promise art will happen then, but certainly this year, things will be different. My art will be much better than it has been. That is a promise.
