Well, as you might know, today I’ve announced that Arena clean artwork will be done digitally from chapter IV. This choice has been made after realising that I need to speed production somehow and now that I’m more confident with digital art I think it’s what I have to do.
Another thing that made me go for this was yesterday’s therapy with my psychologist. She’s told me to stop being so rude and demanding to myself, because I need to value other’s opinion and support. You know that lately I’ve only been doing sketches, I felt super guilty for that (yay, imposter syndrome!) and somehow unhappy with my work, but she said that must stop.
After all, I’ve gone through one of the most traumatic things that a person can experience, cancer is no joke and, regardless, I have been whiling to draw. That only proves that drawing is not only my job but one of my wills to live for. And it doesn’t matter if I need to “stop” or to “change” my art style. Its soul is still the same, and after all I’ve been said that most of people like my simpler drawings more than my finished works because they have a raw emotion that sadly it’s lost once I proceed for the completed art.
I’ll never be perfect, and I’ll never be 100% satisfied with my art, but I can be confident about it, and trust myself with all of your help and support. If you guys say that my sketches/simpler drawings are amazing, who’s me to say that’s not true? I should stop questioning people’s compliments. It’s even rude for you guys, if I think about it.
So I’ll make the balance I need to keep my projects going. When I demand too much to myself, I end up frustrated and not doing a thing at all.
I should trust people more, in general.
Well. That’s all.
Btw, my psychologist also gave me a rest since she says I’m much better and April should be my “holiday” month, since soon it’s my birthday and I don’t have medical appointments in 4 weeks :)
Quality time I’m gonna spend into me, my life, my beloved ones and, of course, my work.
Thank you so much. I think I’ll never thank you enough for all you mean for me.
