Pep Talk

I'm trying, I'm trying!

Sorry guys,

I didn't meant to fall off the blog wagon, but I got super busy.

Now it's summer, schools over and i'm back to be a fully time bakery person.

That doesn't mean I'm going to stop drawing! No, this is my new goal:

Draw Something Every DAY. 

This sounds super easy, but last week I experienced this crazy anxiety when I thought about my goals for the summer.

"I need to create something amazing! I need to create a webcomic! With interesting characters! That'll be my masterpiece!"

Oh my god i was killing myself with pressure. So much so that i didn't want to draw anything! 

So yesterday I sat down and drew some super cute animals, and I felt better.

Super cute animals are great for writers block.

One of the few negative things about being on tumblr and being connected to so many great artists,

is that I become very negative when I see so much great art.

I'm jealous and overwrought with beginners anxiety.

Why even start when you're not going to be as good?

Which is silly. Because someday, I hope to be very good.

Even right now, I'm not so bad. 

It's hard to not compare yourself to others when drawing is such a visual and very personal thing. 

In any case!

Another thing I am doing is taking commissions. 

i'm excited about it, because I know with this first round of commissions I'm going to be so EXCITED to be doing art for someone else, they're going to be amazing. 

So! I am available for hire for very very cheap.

I can do posters, mini comics, invites, illustrations etc.

Let's talk! 

Foight!

Today is so 'eh'. I was going to put an exclamation point on the end of that sentence, but today is so 'eh' I just couldn't muster it. Everyone else celebrates Friday, but for me it is just the middle of my work week, so it holds no celebration for me. I'm very dramatic; I enjoy my job a lot, but today is so grey and icky.

I sketched out some bodies fighting because I knew it would be very hard for me 

a. To draw the male figure

b. To draw bodies in connected motion

It was hard and I'm not incredibly pleased with it! Enjoy!
