Hey guys! This month will be a little rough: I had a lot of accumulated work to do outside Patreon and my full time job isn't being kind either, so probably there'll be very few activity here.Wanted to get back to the short Bullies comic but I really need to tweak some stuff here and there. Who would tell that short comics take time, too?But AT LEAST the Character of the Month will be up! And now, you can also suggest THEME IDEAS for the polls, like the last time.The last poll was about "Capcom blonde ladies". So if you want to go with specifics, you can do that. OR you can have some funny phrases like "I can be your angle or yuor devil" and put some character suggestions there that can match the idea somehow (more examples in the master post)-----Aaand yes, I'm turning 30 in this Friday. I can't say I'm very happy but at least I've reached this far lolThis is in the end as a small vent here, so feel free to skip. But TL;DR: I feel old and bad at art, I need to be better at art.Considering a lot of things that I've done and things that I SHOULD'VE done related to my art, I don't feel in a good spot. I never studied properly and looking in retrospect, I can't deny I've evolved from year to year. But despite that, I feel that I could've turned WAY better if I really had discipline and a good schedule.I guess my main grip and what really had me feeling really bad in the last year is that recently I discovered a lot of talented and efficient artists in their early 20s, and doing some exceptional, creative and professional works. A lot of them seem to have found their artistic identity and mastered the fundamentals in excellency. And I can't get off my head the thoughts that I'm still a beginner despite been drawing for so long and being so "old" or have wasted a lot of time in not drawing or studying enough.I'll continue drawing and trying to study more seriously and trying to find what I really want to do with my work, but I'm very frustrated with my current abilities, considering the possibilities I had in the past.Also I'm really thankful for all of you who support my work despite the feeling that I don't really deserve it.Thanks for reading and for all the support as always! 💞

If it makes you feel any better I'm turning 30 this year and I too have feelings of inadequacy with my art, but I do believe we can really improve if we really put in the work, Zari!

Literally me, but I'm way worse. I take months long breaks in-between learning to draw and for absolutely no reason other than laziness, and I too am turning 30 this year. I know it's easier to look on the bad side of ones position in life, but as a fan who's followed you for years now, I do think you're doing real solid. I don't know your personal life but I really feel like you're a hard worker doing his damnedest with what he can. Feel good, brother! Being human is all about learning and over coming yourselves

Thanks for the words, Joey! Also hope your art journey goes well! 💓

Thanks a lot for the kind words! Having you as a supporter of my work for years (not in money but in presence) is something I'm really grateful too, as well as other people. Hope you can also manage to have some art study routine if you wish to, but I understand with my own experience that life can be rough and we don't have time and energy to do what we want to most of the time. Best wishes for you! 💞

I'm turning 33 later this year, and even though I found some success with art in my early 20's, I feel like I'm only now beginning to find my stride with art in my 30s. I think you've got the right idea looking for ways to continue polishing your craft! Your work is already superb in my book, and I think it's great that you're striving to improve regardless. I know you'll find more of the quality you're looking for as you keep going! :D

Thanks a lot for the words! 💞 And yes, we never stop learning and improving, and with the more the time passes we really see how much we improved over the years. I'll do my best to make most of my studies in the next years to come. Also hope your artistic journey goes well, too! 💞
