Maybe all artists experience the great slump. Probably, mine started when I began taking digital art for granted, being that I prioritized writing more than drawing. I love both, really, but I thought that digital art is a bit more difficult than writing. So I kind of, ignored it. I kept on sketching, though, but never did I come to the point where I told myself I have to color it.
However, now I feel great frustration towards digital art. I can’t do it. I can’t do it the way I want to, and with an upcoming convention wherein we have to draw a lot, there’s this battle against that frustration every time I think of a concept. I have a lot in mind, but, can I do it? I can’t even do proper lighting, can’t draw correct anatomy and hands, no matter how many times I try to search up light source, shading, poses, etc. Somehow, I just don’t get it.
But then, I backtracked my works when I was younger. They weren’t any good, not awesome, really, but I saw progress and potential (huhu I’m sorry if I sound like JJ here haha), and I began thinking, if only I continued making art... but there’s no use crying over spilled milk, right? The only thing I can do now - we can do now, if you’re experiencing this great slump, too, is to keep on making art.
It’s going to be crazy, juggling work, art, writing, and voice acting, but hey, all for art.
