Sorry again for being so... absent
10 years ago
I apologize for not doing the requests thing in December last year. And I apologize for not posting much of anything since then (even though my mate
zmeydros has been posting tons of my newer art with hir more recent stories).
Basically, I've been feeling discouraged. I finally got the new tablet I'd been saving up for, but every time I draw a digital picture on it, I feel disappointed because it's not as good as I want it to be.
I still LOVE pencil drawing and still plan to keep doing a lot of it, but I wanted the tablet because the digital medium is better for very frequent, very complex things like comics. I've been focusing heavily on practicing my tablet drawing for the last few months. But the learning curve is steep.
I just need to adapt to the digital medium, and I am improving, but it's slow progress and I'm not enjoying it very much while I work to improve. I'm also having some seasonal depression and various other things are worrying and/or discouraging me. So I haven't felt like posting much lately.
So, TL;DR: I have been drawing, but haven't felt like posting it much because it's digital and I'm not satisfied with my digital skills yet. I will gradually be posting stuff; I just don't feel that excited about it. (And I know my digital art doesn't suck; I'm just dealing with this whiny part of my brain that wants it to be up to some ridiculously high standards that it hasn't reached yet.)

FA+

When I draw I usually do my initial sketching on paper and then draw digitally on top of that.
