Starting Over

So now that I've posted my most recent favorite pieces I realized that I need to keep working! It is so difficult sometimes to find the will to work. I wish that all I had to do was write and sketch all day haha.

Finding motivation is not always easy. That's why I find it easier to illustrate than try at other art. Once I spent my nights and mornings working on different pieces for classes. It was fun but exhausting lol. And once I broke up with my boyfriend at the time, finding the will to work became easier and harder at once. Easier because I had an outlet for all the bottled up emotions exploding inside of me. Harder because I felt dead inside.

After that year I ran as far from developing my skills as possible. You all know what I'm talking about. I just convinced myself there were too many other talented people out there. People more gifted than I could ever hope to be. So what was the point?

The point is not giving up. The point is to keep on going because the fact is you aren't everybody else and so that makes your individual art uniquely you.

I've started a new challenge for myself ever week, to put out a new finished sketch. And I would challenge you too, to not give up on your craft, but keep improving and growing!

So we'll see what the future brings!
