Been really needing advice like this recently, thanks for posting this!! Ive gotten super frustrated with how hard it is to go back to cartooning after spending a long semester figure drawing but itll be for the better in time!
Thats very relatable I think! I think I wanted to focus more on volume, weight, and shapes but I feel like I’ve lost a lot of energy I used to have in my previous art. I feel like my line of action and gestures used to be really strong and really pushed. Its been hard figuring out how to combine what I’ve recently learned with that energy I had before. I have friends who feel like this as well, they’ve been rebuilding their foundation and feel like their cartoons/style is lacking again. It can make us feel defeated but we got this!
