This has been a real PAINting. I've been stuck on this for 8 hours today, I kid you not (it usuallyt takes me 4h to render). I'm facing the toughest crysis with my art for a while: everything I draw looks like shit in my eyes, which puts me in a negative mood so that I actually draw bad, then I spend hours trying to save whatever I have... I'm enduring this awful mood drawing on and taking more breaks, but I want reconnect with my art and relax while drawing so badly... hopefully it'll get better soon 🙏🙏

Speaking of this art: I knew since the beginning I would have to do a lot of work to fix anatomy; you can see I've been using the liquify tool soon after setting up colors... then colors became an issue, too. I couldn't stand their bare pink bodies against the pink wall, it was just too much PINK. I had used a green light which would've been a problem if I had changed background mid-work... for an entire hour I tried all kinds of adjustments, for another hour I started redrawing the WHOLE LINEART, to restart from scratches. Then I came back to my senses, gathered some trust in myself and went back to the most advanced WIP... I do like the final outcome so I would say it was the right decision? But it costed me so much sanity aaaah

I always love to read behind the process, and this time it hurts to know you're feeling so disconnected from your art! While I always think it's extremely beautiful and delicious, the brain does trick us into magnifying every single thing we see wrong with it. Having had the pleasure of following your art journey for years now, every time you go through a crisis like this, you have a breakthrough that ends up shaping and solidifying your process and gets you to a place you had only thought of reaching before! (I vividly remember the struggle with painting with values only and look at you now!). I know the process of going through it is painful, not trying to say it will all be good soon, I know it takes effort and will but we're definitely cheering you on! (And I know you see all its flaws, but this is absurdly hot and beautiful and Illuga is tearing me apart with those puppy eyes and I want to cry and scream over this).
