Guess who just came back after more than a year because their life has been an absolutely hurricane of chaos
Both good and bad.
You're probably wondering why I just disappeared for so long
Many things happened to me during this past 2 years.
I got a temporary job for a couple of months, moved to a new place, and met new amazing people.
And also had not-so great experiences.
Manly, a extreme burnout and an artblock for almost 10 months.
When I made my last post, I didn't expected any the things that happened
I was trying to juggle so many stuff at once
That I couldn't even have the energy to draw basic sketches, and the constant pressure that I felt to post more content combined with this, made me unable to make anything to post online.
To the point that the ideia alone to draw something would make me feel drained.
Because it felt more of a burden and obligation than the passion and love I initially felt.
Then I realized, the reason behind that feeling, was because the job that I had was making me not have energy throughout the day in general, and I was not fully enjoying my projects because I felt pressure to finish faster instead of making something with love.
It made not want to continue any of them.
But now I feel much better, I'm still recovering from the burnout.
So what exactly would that mean for the future? Am I going back to posting again?
The answer is yes. But this time, some things need to change
What type of change? You may ask
To put it simply, I will post more freely, meaning I will post but in my own time, I'll still try to maintain a type of schedule so I don't spend many months without posting
But yeah, I try to be more reasonable with my limits from now on
Talking about limits, I'll probably post more simple stuff, like sketches, non finished pieces and other stuff like that. Another thing that caused my burnout, was forcing myself to only make finished pieces even if was one that I didn't even liked anymore.
I will also start experimenting with new stuff in my artstyle, I felt very limited sticking with only one way to do things and I want to change that.
So, I think that's all I have to say, I hope this year will be better for me and my art, I don't want to experience the same thing again, with multiple things taking my time and draining me and not letting me be creative
My next post It will be regarding my socials, I recommend seeing that because there will be important changes.
To all the people that stayed following me even during this situations
Thank you
You're the people that keep me inspired to keep going
That's all for today, I hope everyone is having a great day and i'll see you next time!
