Supercorptober Day 9: Warmth

This was actually a lot of fun to sketch, although I can't help but notice the exaggerated height difference. But hey, there's no "perfect" or "good enough" this challenge. So yeah, exposure therapy instance four.

Supercorptober Day 15: Freckle

Kara kissing Lena's freckles/moles

Look, I know freckles and moles are different, but this picture just popped into my head and wouldn't leave. Anyway, it felt really freeing, just leaving the sketch like this and not cleaning it up. And even better, so: I still like what I made despite that. So, I'd say exposure therapy instance 6 is successfully completed (as soon as i hit post that is).

Supercorptober Day 12: Golden

You know together we're glowing

Gonna be, gonna be golden

This was so much fun to draw. Now I need to find out if there are Supercorp Kpdh AUs... There's so much potential to explore Kara's and Lena's shame and trauma👉🏼👈🏼 Anyway, exposure therapy instance five done. Kudos to anyone who can read the Kryptonian writing.

Supercorptober Day 31: Spookycorp

My last entry for this years' Supercorptober! It went by so fast but I feel like taught me a lot. I started out struggling with perfectionism and self-critizism a lot, and obviously that hasn't changed drastically, but now I feel more at ease and accomplished with my art.

I noticed that when I don't set out for it to be good since it's "just a sketch" I don't put as much preasure on me. Instead, I get to experiment with styles and colors and don't focus too much on finding the perfect (or any) reference picture. It's a lesson and a tool I'll take away from this as I start to get more comfortable with my art.

And with that the last instance of my exposure therapy is done. Thanks for coming along, and happy halloween!

Supercorptober Day 3: Amber

Inspiration struck, and i've decided to take part in this years' supercorptober :)

I've recently worked on a long-term and very time intensive art project and struggled a lot with perfectionism and self-critizism. That's why when this "challenge" came around, I decided to only do what's fun & to only share it with that intention. There's no "good enough" and no "wrong" this month. If you see mistakes (of which there are plenty), that's fine. If you think you could do better (you probably could, go for it), that's fine too. I'm learning, and I'm growing, and I don't have to be perfect, which is, repeat after me, fine. So, welcome to my exposure therapy, I suppose. This is instance one, but there's more to come.

Supercorptober Day 16: Sunrise

Sunrise is Kara's favorite thing to watch. She leaves the curtains open before going to sleep to wake up to the sun's gentle touch on her skin. Sometimes, Lena joins her in marveling at the beauty of a new day. Today she's deeply asleep.

This was lots of fun to sketch. It might even be my favorite sketch of this challenge. And with that exposure therapy instance seven is done.

Supercorptober Day 24: Liquid

Don't have a lot to say today, just that I struggled with posting this. But anyway, here it is at last. And with that exposure therapy instance eight is completed.

Supercorptober Day 6: Scar

Exposure therapy instance three.

It's so freeing (and sometimes frustrating) to sketch without a reference pic. It's just a blury vision in my mind that I have to transfer onto a medium with only the feeling of what looks right (or not so much) but also the freedom to experiment and to just follow the flow. In that regard, this sketch brought on the disappointment of not knowing enough physics to draw folds or make their faces more recognizable vs. the joy of being able to bring the picture from my mind onto the screen without any help.
