Flight or Fight Drawing mode for me, i think...
tbh the way you approach ffak is so… inspirational to me like it’s one of my favorite things ever and i think all the time about how one day i want to make something as good as ffak, something with the same amount of thought and love and care put into it
;o; I’m so happy it gives you encouragement! That is always so humbling to hear tbh. I try to run this project as if I’m ~already~ the more capable artist that i dream to become rather than what i am currently (its like i just pretend im better so i can not be paralyzed with fear constantly) and so it makes me feel very vulnerable when i work but... its always so worth it!! trying things is so worth it. Even when i get down and depressed it pulls me back up outta it cause im like ‘well i gave it my best shot whats the next thing i can try to do?’ its a nice feeling to think that i have no expectations in a way* so any choice i do make is a better choice than not.. making one at all because its too scary to fail. ffak is the kind of project that i love so much that I dont mind having all the growing pains that come with it and i really feel blessed to have allowed myself to make it the way i do. i couldnt ask for a better story to help me learn and be flexible enough to embrace my nature as a writer. :3
*(this isnt completely true but since the nature of how ffak started was ’whatever, i dont fucking know what im doing-- ill just draw a damn comic today’ i still feel like that... attitude of not knowing how far it will take me has carried throughout the entire project. just throwing it all out there w/o hesitation or planning lol )
