Something I need to get off my chest.
5 years ago
General
I roar at you! First I want to thank all of my watchers, new and old, for continuing to support me and my art, even if I haven't be active lately. But I something off my chest. As of late I decided to go with a new direction and approach with my art, which is part of why I've been inactive.
I'm going to do things differently and go back to my roots and to the basics. This may cause a longer delay in postings but this is something I need to do, I really wasn't happy with the way I've been doing art and I felt like I've been wasting time trying to learn as I go without spending the time to actually practice and study more than I should have. I also felt too much pressure that I had to post more often which all the stress did was cause me to freeze up and end up not accomplishing anything or taking longer than necessary.
Don't worry, I'm not quitting art, I never will but I need to start improving the way I've been doing it and that starts with more practice and studying. I'm scared that my followers may grow impatient but I have to do this, and who knows, maybe I'll end up posting more often.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I just want to let everyone know what I've been up to and where I am with my art.

But in truth, it's really down to you. What is good for you as a developing artist and as a person with his own needs is your decision and not anybody else's. Take all the time you need, and I wish you the best of luck and happiness on this stage in your artistic journey.
Take the time you need to practise, but also prioritise yourself. Just remember that you're a personal artist. You're not drawing commissions for money, and you are not under any obligation to deliver your art at any particular speed. You're your own boss!
Kind regards,

Basically my point is to do what you gotta do. Costs me nothing to leave a watch here while you do what is right for yourself. Hell I'm still working up the nerve to post my own work but that probably isn't gonna happen anytime soon as I am in a sense doing something similar to you and going back to the basics to build a better foundation on my skill. So.. I feel I understand what you are going through.
Go do what you need to and we'll still be here
...I have been doing the same out of pretty much the same reasons, coincidentally.
