Enter the Magic of AreoAnts

That one time Slade thought Clark Kent was Bruce Wayne and slipped him a Neurotoxin Mickey only to get his ass kicked anyway.

This comic is great!

really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:

His response: "No, it's my name now."

I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.

Honestly it's really 50/50 between "ALRIGHT!! JUST PUSH!! DO IT" and "fuck this. im doing fuck all until the last minute, and whatever happens happens".

Often times I can easily draw something stupid and off the top of my head... but because the idea lacks a certain "hook", I'll be completely demotivated to actually draw it or post anything. And honestly it kinda sucks!! Because you should draw whatever if you enjoy it. And I do, but I always wanna make something that is just the littlest bit more novel and interesting than previous stuff. When I just draw a character in a cool pose, I sometimes lament the lack of a good hook or twist to add to it.

What are we really obligated to draw, though? Sometimes you do something fun because it IS fun. But if you do the same thing over and over, it becomes less fun. So I guess it's best to chill out. But don't be surprised if challenging yourself is the kind of fun you needed all along; my advice, try a little of both. If you try challenging yourself and nothing goes anywhere, it's time to rest. If you start to feel anxious about doing nothing after genuinely resting for a day, then try drawing again. That's part of it, anyway. The other part is spending some time to brainstorm ideas, which goes back to the whole "hook" aspect; sometimes there's just more interesting and fun things to draw, but you can't come up with them for whatever the reason. Not inspired enough, not willing to get out of your comfort zone...
