Please remember to turn some of your kindness on yourselves as well

I've done the exact opposite, I've started drawing. D:

Scandalous!!! Drawing is a sin, my grandmother would like to have a word with you... jkjk 😂

Well I hope you find some joy in it my friend! If you care to share anything please link it to me I would love to see 😊

For me this little break from drawing is nice in it's own way, I usually just work, come home and draw, then go to sleep. I am thinking I might have to make room for my other hobbies like reading again. Then I can get inspiration to draw too 🥰

I'm no artist, I just draw sketches of furries that resemble robots more than anything else. But then I pass them along to my friend who cleans them up and sells them. I'm slowly getting better at complex subjects such as "Shoulders, how do they work?!" and "What does a butt look like?", but my grasp of perspective is so off that everything is of wildly different sizes.

Still, practice might not make me ever perfect at this, but I'm getting a bit better. Nothing I'll ever post to my own gallery though!

And yes, other hobbies are critical, otherwise you'll burn out on drawing curvy furry booty and then where will you be?!

I think that is wonderful! And I subscribe to the belief that practice can get you where you want to be, all you have to do is just keep at it! I didn't start drawing until later in life myself because I thought you had to be born with the talent for it, but just keep practicing and try to only compare yourself to your own self and your own art progress. Your journey is yours to experience my friend, I wish you lots of good luck and support when you need it! 🥰

Haha yes I agree! I am trying to be less of a workaholic. If I stop drawing Furry Booties all together I might become normal, and I definitely don't want that, boring!!! Jkjk 😁

It's nice that you took Time to mourn properly. It's always good to get something off your chest during times like these. It's never an easy thing to go through# and it may be a while to heal while you're in mourning.

Because of my mental Illness I couldn't mourn properly me when my grandpa passed away. I couldn't cry at all, and that affect me.

It's always good to shed tears. This will help you heal.

Thank you my friend, I am appreciative to have had your support! I am so sorry about your grandfather as well, that must have been very hard, you have my condolences and know that it is not your fault but the illness, I am sending you lots of positive thoughts.

Haha yes crying helps too but it is so hot here that it gets very bothersome having a sweaty tearstained face all the time! My face is started to get very bad rashes from rubbing my eyes with my sleeves haha. I will be happy to be home and back to normal

Heh heh. Yeah, cry during a hot day can get kinda sticky. XP

I hope you'll feel better soon, and I can't wait to see more of your art.. Just know that grief takes time to placate. You may be feel lamenting in the following days to come.
