I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

Final animal sketchbook pages for the book I want to make are complete. I realized that the 5.5x8.5 sizing is not really matching my sketchbook page size, so I'm gonna have to tweak all the pages a bit woops haha. If I don't get my KS done in time, I'll just make the books anyways and set up pre-orders maybe. Idk. Anyways that PB page was really difficult and also cathartic to make. If you read it please appreciate that it was a Really Bad Time, and I'm still dealing with it.

"Rovasenda dove"

A Roman dove-shaped 'unguentaria' dated 1st century AD.

The object, approximately twenty centimeters long, is striking for its elegance and its function: it was intended to contain essences and balms. To use it, the tail had to be broken, as is done today with a single-dose vial.

This specimen, however, has never been opened: inside, it still retains half its contents, a clear liquid with a slight pinkish deposit. An absolute rarity, which makes the "Rovasenda dove" a sort of time capsule.
