hoo ha hey! it's my art vs artist for 2025

I have drawn more than I ever have in the past two and a half years combined. don't ever develop chronic pain in your hands guys. a lot of it was mostly fandom OC related and I don't really post that stuff to main, sorry lmao. aiming to do more original universe stuff and branch out to doing fanart again hopefully.. but breaks are vital to me now. it still feels great to have been able to draw more, especially thanks to my very first artfight; it was a boon to me in many ways.

2025 was my very first year participating in artfight :]

I was scared I wouldn't be able to contribute much, given my hand condition, but friends reassured me that I could take it easy, so I went above and beyond my projected goal and managed 10 attacks! artfight instilled a confidence in me that I haven't seen since I had to stop drawing frequently a few years ago. I had SO much fun and I want to see if I can try it again next time. I'm also happy the team I chose won too, not too shabby for my first year.

pokemon scarlet violet's 3rd anniversary, let's re-post all the old doodles I've done so far

I'm trying to get back into the habit of drawing regularly for the first time in years after dealing with chronic hand pain, which means doing quick warm ups. yeah they're crusty, but that's ok, we all start somewhere even if we're starting over again. go, my deltarunes.

#ignore how gormless lancer and susie look here you can tell this was my very first time drawing them #i didn't color in the pippins ones but you know the green mold is there. you know that's him when you see it.#deltarune #deltarune ralsei #ralsei deltarune #deltarune noelle #noelle deltarune #noelle holiday #pippins deltarune #suselle #green pippins #battat #susie deltarune #deltarune susie #sketch art #sketch #doodle

What's the point in even trying to continue making art when the industry is a shithole, indie is unsustainable, and every time I sit down to draw I just get frustrated and angry because everything about it is so hard and overwhelming? Being creative is the only thing in life that has ever brought me anything even remotely resembling happiness and I can't even enjoy it anymore because of how much misery it brings me.

I don't really feel qualified to answer this, as it sounds like therapy or counseling might help you better, but in my opinion the point of art is to pour your heart, mind and soul into it. The point is for the creation of it to bring you joy or at least satisfaction. Above all else, your art has to be made for you first.

If you're not feeling that right now and your art is a hobby, it's okay to put it down for a while and return to it later. Maybe find other ways to be creative, like building in Minecraft or trying something new like crochet (I did this when I burned out a few years ago). You can get the satisfaction of creation from things other than drawing.

If art is your career, it's also okay to find a different career for a while and keep art as a hobby. It doesn't make you less of an artist and you can always return to it as a career again later when things aren't so rough.

There's no doubt things are incredibly hard for creatives right now and we all have to cope as best we can. That will look like different things for different people. Find what works for you and take care of yourself.

#not art #i miss art (as in making fully rendered pieces and constantly) but i also miss being able to use my hands without pain & strain #and taking breaks is ultimately good because i love being able to write and doodle more freely again
