This sorta less about NG but this is my favourite platform for art so good a place as any to talk about it.
So Around 2-3 months ago I picked up drawing again and its been fun, getting back int he groove, experimenting etc.
The big thing was gonna be looking out for bigger goals and ambitions, where my priorities are set.
I enjoy making a few dozen illustrations a year, but I really wanna lock in on projects I can truly call my own, wich did used to cause alot of burnout cuz on social media especially that shit can fall on deaf ears p much.
Besides not worrying about that thing anymore, I find the value of their existence to outweight the frustration. So next year obvs im looking to lock in on paintings that do push me and let myself shine, but also work on those game and comic ideas im too much a coward to approach.
This also comes with the fact I started dating again and drawing for said significant other really is....the best shit yknow. Drawing for friends and loved ones kept drawing afloat for years and now I take immense joy in just doing that for days on end.
Its something that will reflect here, but essentially when my lower stakes drawing habits are flexed in private, I feel more like taking risk if I were to post something for the public.
Is this just a rambling as I collect myself from beeing gay as hell for the past weeks or am i onto something ? Who knows.
All I know is that its no use being stuck in your shell when you want to spread your wings.
Happy new years to yall soon!
