Maybe all artists experience the great slump. Probably, mine started when I began taking digital art for granted, being that I prioritized writing more than drawing. I love both, really, but I thought that digital art is a bit more difficult than writing. So I kind of, ignored it. I kept on sketching, though, but never did I come to the point where I told myself I have to color it.Ā
However, now I feel great frustration towards digital art. I canāt do it. I canāt do it the way I want to, and with an upcoming convention wherein we have to draw a lot, thereās this battle against that frustration every time I think of a concept. I have a lot in mind, but, can I do it? I canāt even do proper lighting, canāt draw correct anatomy and hands, no matter how many times I try to search up light source, shading, poses, etc. Somehow, I just donāt get it.
But then, I backtracked my works when I was younger. They werenāt any good, not awesome, really, but I saw progress and potential (huhu Iām sorry if I sound like JJ here haha), and I began thinking, if only I continued making art...Ā but thereās no use crying over spilled milk, right? The only thing I can do now - we can do now, if youāre experiencing this great slump, too, is to keep on making art.
Itās going to be crazy, juggling work, art, writing, and voice acting, but hey, all for art.
