“Actual happiness, and joy”

Mani's Tintin era 2020 :'

I got an #/onthisday on my TT of my old drawings of Tintin Nd I was reminded with how I seriously considered stopping drawing 3ish years ago with every other reason compiling on top of one another ..

I love Tintin but trying to change my art to be just "cute" and minimal was a mistake that almost killed my entire drive to draw, for the first time since i started drawing, on top of everyone around me trying so hard to beat it out of me unsuccessfully, out of all those bad shi against art in general, drawing stuff in a way i hated is what almost got me, hehe.

I'm all about all range of emotions, it's my biggest reason to draw, to show emotion and I was trying to minimize that for the sake of it to look like an art style I liked and make it easier, made doing art for me have no point. For me it always been the other way around, to draw is to figure out how to put things I love in my own way and not just be sticking to one thing but contain many of the things I love as possible.. like horror, angst, fights, darkness and closeness and spiciness x' and most importantly-- doing all that process, all this art for me first. I didn't like my Tintin art for so long & was forcing it for people who liked it to a point I can pick which drawings I started hating my art after. And I don't know why I kept doing it long after getting no engagement, too.

Love you all you literally for being with me and my art in all forms, and if you read all this too, hehe 🖤❤️ KEEP CREATING!!
