Random Ass Elephant
Added 2021-01-16 19:55:40 +0000 UTCSo, I wanted to post this up, A, because I'm very proud of this little baby elephant I just drew, and B, to chat a bit about drawing outside of your style for a bit. I did this line drawing for my cousin's baby shower, and as I was doing it I felt so excited to be drawing in a style so unlike my usual output. It felt refreshing and comforting all at the same time. It's nice to take a step back and breath a bit, shake out the cobwebs, see the world and the page from a different vantage point again.
It's no secret I've been in a bit of a rut the last few years and there's really no stopping time or responsibility. This year is going to bring a lot of changes for me and I can't allow a rut to get in the way of my own goals. When you do art for a career it can get really daunting - the pressure to maintain consistent output (thanks algorithms), being your own boss if you're freelance, and feeling trapped by your style and then dreading the process of making art. I guess this post is a PSA for remembering to explore different styles, different mediums, different ways to tackle a piece. It can really do wonders for your creative health.
Also wanted to say hi to all the new subscribers! Thank you so much for being my patrons, everyone. I cannot tell you how much it means to me. If you're still in the old tier prices don't forget to change to the cheaper ones!
