Hey guys! I don't even know where to start.... Yesterday was the day. I've been struggling with art block and burnout for 1.5 years, but it's only getting worse with each passing day. I don't like any of the art I've created recently. I don't like my style or my skills, and I'm mostly drawing for the audience and the numbers on social media, rather than for myself. It's very difficult to force myself to draw. And yesterday, I exploded. I woke up with the thought that I wanted to completely remove myself from everywhere, and by the end of the night, I couldn't hold back any longer. I completely cleaned up my Twitter and BlueSky accounts. Temporarily. I also unfollowed almost all the artists, as their skill and number of likes were overwhelming me even more.
I feel like I've been standing still for a long time. I've decided to take a break from all the social media, fan art, and commissions. For a long time, I couldn't afford to take a break because of the commissions, which didn't allow me to rest or learn, but I'm running out of energy. I've decided to do a detox and focus on improving my skills and changing my style. I've never liked my style, I like something completely different, but unfortunately, my brain is not capable of drastically changing it due to the constraints. I will have to completely re-learn.
I don't know how long it will take, unfortunately, I can't say for sure. And most likely I will hardly take commissions, only in rare cases. But I will still continue to carry out commissions already ordered from me, but at a slower pace. I really hope for the understanding of the commissioners. Because I have never done my work half-heartedly in terms of quality just to do it, quality is also important to me. And recently it has become more and more difficult to do it with quality. So, in order not to run out of money, I suggest that you support me on my PATREON or TELEGRAM (Telegram is preferred), where I will post absolutely everything that I will draw during this period and not show publicly. All my learning processes and many, many sketches. I would be incredibly grateful!
I also recommend that you subscribe to my Telegram channel, as it is currently the only platform where I feel comfortable during this period. I will temporarily suspend my Twitter, BlueSky, and FA accounts.

Take all the time you need! Whatever your art becomes, after this, I know it will be something you can be proud of and that is more than worth the wait. If you do not enjoy your art then you are making the best choice for yourself and your audience.
Take care of yourself, experiment freely, and find what makes you happy with your talent and skill. I know you can do it. ^^

We are always our biggest critics. Personally I find your current and past art amazing. Of course everyone wants to improve, but please don't be too hard on yourself and try to give yourself a well deserved rest. I'm keen on seeing what your new style will be!
Admittedly I've been waiting on a sketch from you, but after reading this I totally understand. But if you have a sketch of any kind of it, I would love to see it, I'm sure it's much better than you think ^^
