Fighting artblock one day at a time

That’s the sole point of tutorials and it makes me so mad that I can’t just ignore the inners moister and start. It‘s learning and practice, literally NOTHING will happen. No one will judge no one will criticise.

Dumb brain is dumb.

It’s silly 😑
I love tutorials and they help a whole lot, but I‘m always dreading starting to work with them instead of just reading & observing what gets told/shown.

Because there’s a part of my dumb brain that’s afraid if I actually start the real work I will realise I can’t pull it off in the end

I love this facial expression ref sheet from Seeing Red.

Timelapse

No blob today, but something semi realistic. Tourned out surprisingly well today for the short span of time I worked on it 😳

Pencil brush only tomorrow.

I should stay with pencil scribbles for now but there’s still the urge to do real lines and throw some color on it 🙈 and in the end I work on something for 2 hours only to scrap it completely 😩

Yup I actually started yesterday but couldn’t bring me to post it 😅

A smol friend ❤️ and some line practice

BUT I hope this will change in a while once I’m more comfortable and don’t want to immediately delete anything I scribble (and am actually posting stuff that’s worth a description), then Alt text will get added!

I also apologise for not adding Alt texts currently. Just looking at the scribbles and actually posting them is a lot right now, holding off bc I have to think about what to put into the alt text would currently make me delete them.

15 mins & open end. If it leads to 2 hours even better. If not that’s fine too.

Alright, I actually have a lot to rant about but not the energy to bring it all into words so I‘ll just start now with something different & maybe add the words sometime later.

1st goal
Find the joy for creating again:

15 mins of scribbling each day. I set a timer. That‘s doable even with work.

I'm looking for all the stock providers, brush enthusiasts, educators, and other helpful resource providers! 🤍🔥

Getting judged by your sketch 👀
Currently I’m trying to get rid of the Eww feeling I get whenever I take the pencil in my hand 😅

I‘m off work, on vacation at the sea and have my art supplies with me. Now I only need the stars to align right…😂
