Hi guys! I got back to work today, and started on the next page of Business Casual. Beforehand, I did some doodling to shake the rust off and produced this page of bods. Backs are very difficult and I still have a ways to go before I can draw them with any kind of speed.

Unfortunately even after all my time off my tension headaches have not really gone away, but I feel like they've lessened in intensity. So I'd say that the time away did, in fact, do some good for me, and it also allowed me to analyze how my work habits got me to that point in the first place. In short, I need to be kinder to myself in terms of my own perception of the quality of my work, as well as output.  It's a long process of undoing certain habits I've built up, but I'll continue to work on it.

I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who stuck around while not much art was happening. I'm back at it and excited to keep on making sexy art for you!

Good to hear it is not as bad as before, as long as you don't overwork you will be back to the way it was before.

Take care of yourself, man!

Thank you for the kind words, I'll do my best to keep in mind that it's a marathon, not a sprint :)

Meesh

Thank you, I'll keep working on healthy work habits!

Meesh

Workin on it! Thank you!

I used to get headaches all the time. Ended up being a combination of high blood pressure and nighttime teeth grinding. A nighttime retainer/bite guard helped a massive amount. May not apply in your situation but thought I'd mention it just in case.

Please take care! Your health is extremely important! We understand your time needed off!

I would rather see less work from you and know you were taking care of yourself. What you do is great, and you shouldnt try to burn yourself out!

Take care of yourself dude!! Glad to hear your time off helped ya as much as it did Being self critical and wanting to look towards improving isn't necessarily a bad thing but it can be in excess. I hope you find and build habits better and less stressful for you! Always enjoy seeing your work!! On that note these sketches are AWESOME <3

Asher Tail

Always love looking at your sketches. Hope you had a great time off!

Maybe it is teeth grinding, I do have a bit of a sore jaw in the mornings... uh oh!

Meesh

I'll keep trying! Maybe I can work out a style that allows me to maintain the schedule and also take more days off :)

Meesh

That is encouraging to hear, thank you!

Meesh

I am deathly afraid of not improving, which is why I push myself hard, but yes, it can be damaging. Thank you for the kind words!

Meesh

If I end up making more! I don't typically warm up too much, which might be why I feel like art takes me a while, heh...

Mr Blackstone

It's likely multiple factors at work but if your jaw muscles are aching upon waking up, that's a strong indicator of teeth grinding. There's two follow up items to consider: (1) Depending on how long you've been grinding your teeth, a dentist can see visible signs and confirm for you. (2) You can get a cheap "mold to your teeth" kit at a drug store for like $15 or something. Try that out and if after a few days you can see that you're destroying that sucker, that's a big red flag right there. Also, the cheap (not professionally made) retainer might make you wake up feeling better! Because the forced gap stops your jaw muscles from clenching ludicrously tight. If it ends up helping, you can get a professional one made later. Good luck!
