#ignore how inconsistent my art style is. I'm just trying stuff out and having fun!

Unloading some thoughts about my art under the break

I feel like I've been off doing art side quests for the past couple of months. I've enjoyed trying different styles and subjects, but it's just starting to feel chaotic. I'm so glad people loved the pumpkin ghouls, but that doesn't really feel like my style. It worked for that series and was fun to figure out and use for a time. I've been feeling a bit lost with my art lately, and I think it's starting to show, and it bothers me. And it's hard to ignore the numbers, even though I know they shouldn't matter. So I want to finish the year by dusting off the digital pencils and going back to realism portraits and maybe some flowers?

My inconsistent art style is starting to bother me slightly (my IG grid bothers me so much, seeing how chaotic it looks). And I feel like maybe I need to focus on one thing and do it well? I don't know, but I think I just need to control and curate my stuff a bit more. Currently, I'm working on adding Phantom to my Language of Flowers series, which feels like a start in the right direction. Thanks for sticking around whilst things got weird. I'm planning out some ideas for the rest of the year, and I'm looking forward to drawing them!

I've loved something about everything I've made this year, but I think I just need a bit of structure to what I'm doing rather than hopping around and trying random stuff. Also, in terms of subject and colours, a lot of my stuff has been really dark lately (sometimes literally) and my art used to be a lot brighter as it was my happy place. So I want to try and brighten things up a bit, and hopefully, it brightens me up a bit too 😊. It's hard to explain, but that's the jist of it.

If you've read all of this or ever liked, reblogged or commented on anything I've made - I appreciate it so much, you have no idea 🖤
