Langtree’s Lament III (Patreon)

I forgot what I meant to say or what I was going to elaborate on in the last post and frankly I don’t think I’ll remember til 3 months from now but there is something I’ve been thinking about

Back in like February of 2020 I remember talking to my friend about how I wasn’t really satisfied with my work. For a bunch of reasons really but it felt like my work was in a transitional period. It was appropriate since I was too (aren’t we all amirite)

It’s funny looking back because I don’t know if it’s apparent to anyone but me and my work feels the same as it did before, but to me it’s wildly different. That period WAS transitional from how I used to draw, my approach, and the way it (and I to a larger extent I) have shifted.

One of the things that I think played a big role was that I almost didn’t draw at all for the better part of 3 months. Even then I didn’t start drawing more frequently until I did a dragon ball challenge with a friend.

And after a long time it kinda clicked. Or it felt that way anyway. I want to add that it’s also been accompanied and led by a very sharp improvement in my mental health.

Anywho, I was looking at my drawings after I finished this OTGW piece and picked up on how different they are now.

And I am too.
