Born to chipi chipi chapa chapa, forced to smash my head on a keyboard lmao

I already have a taxing day job and I'm working on my portfolio.

My all time favourite is Engage The Enemy More Closely from johnwickb1tsch. It's an efficient One shot, I just love to read it every time I'm feeling down. I may have more of course, I'll try to make a list if people are interested but I admit I have a lot of fanfics to catch up.

Boring office desk job

I honestly don't think this pace is healthy for me (don't take me as an example) i don't sleep much, I already have a day job. I skip meals and when I'm focused on a piece I only drink coffee. I have this weird obsessive need to complete a piece, it's a state of intense focus...which feels fantastic you know ? It's me, the drawing, the music.

But I've been trying to take breaks. Go to the gym. Sleep a bit more. I just feel like there's a car engine inside me you know ? A powerful Ferrari engine, and I'm the car, and it's driving at full speed but the brakes are broken and it's not easy for me to "pause" (im working on that) so my advice ? Outside activities, learn to take breaks, dont rush perfection. Draw what YOU want, not what others want from you.

I do feel pressure yeah. Pressure to draw, pressure to be quick, to...deserve the amount of people following. I know i shouldn't but when im not doing anything I sure do feel guilty 😶 my social accounts are big, and i think to myself "wow these shoes are too big for someone like me"

I feel inadequate. I realized in the last year that the super duper artist i wanted to become is already there. People look up to me and I feel like a fraud because I didn't think of myself worthy of compliments. It's not even fake modesty because i value the skills I have, I worked for that ; but at times I watch my following and i have a full meltdown, I want to hide in a corner...because it's too much isn’t it ? I tend to panic like that.

Now, i certainly don't want to say I'm forcing myself to draw or that im unhappy. It's always a pleasure to create but in my case, it tends to exhausts me. Sometimes. Swear to god im working on that.

I have no wisdom to share because im not a great teacher but ! By chance, a mutual @cinnamnt posted an amazing tutorial on insta ✨️😉

The way i work is similar, i thought it was super informative 🌷🏃 go check their work too !! Insane art !

I also found this on twitter. This tip really changed the way i picked my colours, so perhaps it will help you too 🥳
