The Status of Me!
7 years ago
Hi everyone, it's been a while! I'm making this journal to let you all know my status. I'm not looking for any advice.
You may be wondering what's up with my art. My original plan was to keep up with the daily doodles, and keep the momentum going.
The long and short of it is that work has been taking up all my energy. When I get home for the day, I just go into self-care mode because I'm just spent. This has pretty much been my status for months. I don't have any sort of ETA for when new art will be posted; I'm just working on warm-ups again for now. Also, I'm working on digital inking (because traditional inking was frustrating) and that has been very slow-going. I can absolutely say it's been frustrating me enough to make me NOT want to draw. I know I just need to practice; this is where not having any energy or patience left at the end of the day wasn't helping things.
The good news is that I'm managing things a lot better lately, and hope to devote a lot more energy to my artwork. I really want to get back into inked and colored pieces, but it will take some time to re-learn things.

take ye time, don't overwhelm yourself, we can wait
No worries. I know what that's like when work and life take their toll on the art side of things. My problem is finding the energy to finish it, when so much else is going on. It's easy to lose the flow.
