Important update
I'm officially taking a break from posting digital art online. My health has only been getting worse for the past few years, and it has slowly been affecting my ability to draw, and it has now gotten to the point where drawing digitally has stopped being fun.
I need to stop labelling myself as a "artist" online for a while, and take some time to relearn how to draw digitally, as my current artistic process was developed for a version of me that was much more able bodied than i am now.
My process that used to take me 3-4 hours to fully render a drawing now takes 10-12 hours, and I can only really draw for an hour at a time before my joints start to hurt, I get dizzy, ocpd kicks in, and my mind gets overwhelmed.
I still love drawing so so much, but my current art style and process is not catered to me anymore, and i need to learn how to... unlearn it... and thats going to be difficult, as I've been drawing this way for 6-7 years, and i think i need to start again from the beginning
I'm going to abandon paint tool sai and move to csp in an effort to learn a brand new artistic process, and i don't want to feel the pressure of posting my art online while im going through this. I've already been on semi-hiatus for a long while, but I'm making it official.
I still have been getting drawing practice through traditional art, but I don't fully render art traditionally like i do digitally, and i love working digital A LOT, and there is no way im going to let my passion for it die because my dumb body decided to be disabled.
I will start posting art again when i feel passionate and happy about my work again, but for now, my art accounts will go dead.
I am not going away, but this is a goodbye to the process i am so attached to, that i developed over 7 years, and now needs to be left behind. It might take me a long time to learn how to draw from the ground up again, but fuck it, I need to change before I lose my love for art.
Commissions are closed for now, and if you wish to keep up with me and my personal non-art life, I'm @yuapop_ on twitter, and my instagram is @sparkibee.
Thank you for supporting me, especially those who have been around for years, you helped me through my teenage years far more than you know ā¤ļøš§”šššš
Love,
