Hello people, i hope you're all doing good.
I've been away for a month, with IRL stuff stepping in out of nowhere as it usually does.
It's in moments like these when i'm grateful of not being in the middle of something ongoing, if you know what i mean.

I'll explain myself.

Aside from some worries which already were taking some of my time, i've been trying to be productive in a way or another, and this month has been kind of focusing on training myself whenever i could with some fast doodling here and there.
It's difficult to work or finish full rendered art when you're in conditions where you can be interrupted every hour, it breaks your flow and efficiency, and it feels like you're taking longer "to get back" into said art than finishing it all with ease.

Depending on conditions, art time fluctuates a lot for me between projects.
Something i'm able of doing in one day, with two sessions, can also take me a whole week depending on said conditions.


Now, with that being said, here's the catch.
I can't ensure i'll be able of updating a ongoing drive weekly, over 5 weeks at the moment, with said conditions.
And i'd rather respect my schedule than randomly updating it weeks later if life stuff grabs me by the legs and, i don't know, drags me all over the place.
Besides, i've learnt that making progress on art when you're not "feeling it" leads to rougher results, and can burn you out quicker.

It's why most experienced artists say that discipline is what makes someone productive, not waiting for that "productivity rush" that comes and go every now and then.

But, discipline, such as being productive daily, requires a lot of free time, so there will be moments where you have to do with what you have.
(It's basically how things were for me in December, putting more than 3 artworks in a month is basically a miracle for a slower paced artist like me)

I'd rather play the waiting game and ensure the quality stays consistant between my works, avoid letting people wait for a promised part when stuff happens to, only after then, explain myself.
Besides, i've been training to make sure the things i have learnt will come in handy later.




While i cannot promise in doing 5 artworks because of the drive over 5 weeks, i'll see if i can work on some commissions so that art is still made.



Meanwhile, i've been training a bit on muscles, trying to get that more organic, realistic and natural feel instead of the current stylized approximation i have.
I'm sure it'll be helpful !


Anyway, thank you for reading this journal, and i hope waiting isn't too much of a bother, i still appreciate reading your comments.
I hope you'll understand.
