An idea I have for my workflow
4 years ago
So I’ve been thinking about this and I might starting giving myself more frequent long breaks to focus on personal art and practice.
Currently I only take weekends off, with occasional breaks during the week if my fatigue it too great. I want to take longer breaks, like a few weeks to a month every once in a while to focus on personal and practice art. Especially practice. I need to start investing time in online skill classes and improving my range, but I do not feel like I can do that currently. I wanna offer better quality work for everyone and this includes works with BGs. Plus, I wanna get myself to a point that I can make enough on 2-3 pieces and get by each month alright on just that.
Of course I will always communicate when I am taking a break through journals and this break does not necessarily mean I will halt commissions altogether. I will still work on whatever I have on my queue but it will be at my discretion. It may be I only get one piece done during my break. But I will still do work.
I will still have to post ych and take in work during these breaks, as with out it I am unable to get by. So I hope you will understand.
My breaks will only ever be a few weeks to a month max and I will only ever take them every few months.
I am thinking I will take my first break once I have cleared the majority of my current queue. So maybe March/April.
I hope this is agreeable to everyone, as I feel I really need this to improve not only my art but my mental health.
If you have any questions about this please let me know.
