Little goal for ur girl
I am typically such a starter, but rarely follow through and finish the plethora of things I begin. Is anyone else like that? I almost just love the possibility instead of the final outcome. I’m trying to change that this year, so id like to try finish a mini comic/manga vibe with an Albanian centric character/storyline. I’m still in my character design phase and I realise anime/manga style is more difficult to learn than I thought. So learning that style is also a goal (and being a much better artist) any tips?

I do this a bunch too! Start comic ideas and never follow through, but from what i’ve seen reading other comics: you really improve as you work on it. So i’d jump in sooner rather than later! Also simplifying, you’re gonna be drawing these characters over and over again, make sure that’s as easy as a process for you as possible. I wish you luck!!! She looks so cool!

daphnedidit it’s such a bad habit!! Why do we do that!! And I definitely hear that 😭 it’s hard bc you want it to be perfect but you’re so right! I will definitely try but when you look at old Albanian traditional dress it’s so complicated!! I’m definitely going to keep brain storming

FIND SOMETHING YOU LIKE/LOOK FOR INSPIRATION + FORCE YOURSELF
Recently I went through a rough patch for a couple months where I was only filling about one page of my sketchbook every week and it felt like buns :( However, a couple weeks ago I started hyper-fixating on Transformers and I’ve drawn so many of those stupid fucking robots I’m not even lying to you. So basically what that means is try and find something that would appeal to you and draw inspiration from that! Expanding on the inspiration piece- for embroidery, I have a huge Pinterest board of things I’d like to put on my jackets/jeans/shirts. There’s no shame in taking inspiration!!!! Finally, if none of these things work (and I know it’s easier said than done) literally just force yourself to do one creative thing a day. When I‘m bored at school I draw random faces and people passing by. Just by forcing yourself to get back into the habit, hopefully that will encourage your brain to return to its former creative glory. Good luck!!!!!

Do something different!!
As someone who often falls into burnout and creative slumps with my art and animation, I find that taking a little step out of your comfort zone and trying something different really helps! It can be a different medium, a different style, etc. as long as you’re doing something creative. Oftentimes what gets me out of my slumps is switching from digital to traditional art, and also doing a bit of writing! I always return reinvigorated and full of ideas.

Sunday doodles
I’m not sure about the purpose of this site but anywho. Spent Sunday doodling, I’m off to see my sister today. She got hit by a car and I think being bed bound is starting to get to her. I’m just happy she’s alive because I would have followed her in death to be honest. I just hope she’s mentally doing well.

It’s weird because you’re told that you’re smart, in gifted and talented classes, praised but only when you do well in your studies. Your desire to feel praise and love from your parents leads you down to study the sciences even though you really wanted to study geography at university. covid hits the year you graduate and it’s hard to find a job! a good 2/3 years pass of fruitless attempts to find a job in the scientific field. so you go and study for your Masters in Oncoimmunology hoping it’ll be enough academic experience to land you an entry job but it’s not and no one cares that you studied hard and no one care that you love your area of research. it’s a tough market atp i just wanna be a home maker so I can play video games all day and hire a cleaner. Ive been feeling sososo dejected recently from applying to jobs, have a first class masters but no experience so no one wants to hire you? like damn bitch come teach me??? ME???

sad girl weekend
My favourite cat passed away, Nala. Its been a bit of a weird weekend if I’m being real. I’ve had her for 8 years, she was a rescue from a shelter and was the shyest baby ever. i used to feed her shrimp because she loved them but she would always grab the shrimp from my hand, run under the bed to eat and come back out for more. The smallest of noises scared her, making her retreat to her safe place. In the years I got to love her I became her safe space, she was such a Velcro cat. She liked to be held on the hip like a baby, have her cheek and belly rubbed at the same time, but most importantly she loved loved to just be ON YOU or near you. Her ears would rarely move when you called her, unless you called her all high pitch the way she was used to being called by me. (She would always come to me over other people too). idk I’m rambling but I loved her and I can’t believe she’s just gone. I regret every time I was too busy to pet or cuddle her, I just thought she’d be here forever with me. She got me through my panic disorder, because she was just another anxious little thing, afraid of the world. god I miss her so much and I hope she’s missing me too. Anyway here’s 5 photos my perfect beautiful little princess
