Thank you for the endless support
I couldnât believe how many people cheered me up for the past few days, it was such a shock to me.
Tbh, I genuinely feel that Iâm not a great artist. I always feel like Iâm in that stage where Iâm âgetting thereâ but never quite to the point where I can draw swiftly without struggling with the many challenges I do when illustrating. Yes, like any other artist, I compare myself to those who are much greater and then I look at my own work, disappointed.Â
Which is why I believe I went on a mini hiatus for the last two months (the first month was âcause I was on vacation). I just lost my âdrawing grooveâ by the time I came back because it felt as though everyone had left and I was no longer needed (omg Iâm never normally a negative nancy I swear). Yes, I fundamentally draw for fun, for myself and for my love for the fandom, but as time goes by, you start to include drawing for others. And thatâs exactly what Iâve been doing recently. The amount of response I got from my art (which I believe isnât that great really) is telling me that itâs making someone on the other side smile and that to me, is the greatest gift anyone can say about my art because it meant someone else enjoyed what I love to do and share.Â
Anyway, I just want to thank you so much to the people who went out of their way to support and give me words of encouragement. I was honestly expecting that after posting that rant, itâd just remain a dust in a wind, to be completely ignored. But thatâs not what happened and because of that, I managed to get back on my feet and picked up a pencil again :) I wish I could reply to each and every one of you who did leave me a message but I decided to compress all my responses in this one message:

Thank you for being there. The fact that you do not even know me personally, and to go out of your way to say such sweet sweet things has really made an impact on me. No Iâm not quitting on drawing the Mirkwood fam and couple hehe, so no need to panic! Thereâs a chance I might draw some other fandoms soon tho cause I just need to get out of my system but who knows! You might be in the same one as well (or not, otherwise look away for a while ahaha!). But still thank you. Your support meant the world to me and it was because of you guys I managed to pick up my pen again. Thank you all, I love you all so much my dear friends.
