Summer approaching | Current thoughts
4 years ago
In so far, I find it difficult to stick to a rigid one-a-week submission schedule for myself when inspiration tends to ebb and flow quite frequently. Regardless, I don't feel like I'm falling out of wanting to draw like I feared. I'm quickly realizing that my references folder is dreadfully small, yet at the same time, I don't know what exactly I should fill it with. Perhaps those that I feel as though I'll frequently use? Photos or artwork from others of poses that I may want to try? It's strange to be speaking of what is probably so painfully obvious for most, yet I'm only now sort of realizing now. It's comforting to say it, if nothing else.
With my spring semester ending, I can't help but feel annoyed that I won't be able to do any summer classes as I had last year; perhaps this is just the payoff from getting a headstart both from a basic degree several years ago and jumping right in during the summer semester. But fuck me do I dread the looming break - several months with a lack of structure to anything carries with it a certain anxiety that I struggle to describe. I'm considering something art-wise to do over the summer in lieu of classes, but I'm not sure. There is a lot that I would love to do, so many characters I want to put to paper, yet I don't think I have the confidence or ability to attempt anything more than a head-shot.
I'm hating the temptation to open a Twitter account as well. I'd deleted my facebook account years ago and swore off social media, so this consideration shouldn't even be a factor, yet for the sake of putting my art out there, I can't help but wonder if it would be worth it. If anybody sees or reads this, advice would be greatly appreciated.

For twitter, honestly, it depends what you are kinda looking to get out of it. There are enough ways to disable and block things you would otherwise rather not want to know about. People are going to be vile if you let them. I'm assuming you'd like to start one up as an artist page, if you do, I would suggest making sure you keep the tweeting and retweeting just on your works, other works, and information about your stuff like commissions. As a person who follows a lot of artists on twitter, I find it dull to follow an artist that keeps it 100% business, but also find it a bit unappealing to find an artist who uses their art twitter profile as a personal account and I have to do a lot of looking to find their stuff. Multiple profiles will probably do ya good if you go that route looking for clientele~
