Quick Sketch (Patreon)

So I've come to the realization that a lot of my recurring art struggles are because I put a ton of pressure on my art, making it very draining and stressful for me. It's not pressure to be good/perfectionism/etc either, it's just art stress in general. I've talked about it before but I really want to work more on my art and I get very frustrated when I can't, so I always feel pressure to work more and it really turns into a self defeating prophecy where I end up not being able to do more than an hour to a few hours a day at most because I burn out fast and then end up feeling bad about it. And even when I do get on a good pace if I make one misstep suddenly it all crashes down as I falter to the pressure I put on myself.

With that in mind, today I tried to do some sketching while not stressing and it was hard... But obviously it'll take time to overcome this.
