ive been thinking. maybe i prioritize drawing stuff a bit too much
#it’s something i do to feel productive but i should be doing a lot of other stuff rn idk 🤔#at the very least im trying to fix my sleep schedule. and ive been trying to apply to 2 jobs a day. but like huh! i felt really productive#today even though i didnt draw and i think i need to reframe what productivity means in my head. because its a pretty capitalist notion#i dont mean to say that my hobbies are meaningless or stupid or anything like that to be clear. its just that like i used to draw a lot#during classes and stuff to tell myself i was being productive? and relying on that as like. proof that im a smart person or whatever. so im#criticizing my attitude towards art. because in the long term i think defining myself by my hobbies has been a bad idea. i dont have to#prove myself to others. i should be taking care of myself first.#not to keep oversharing but i think ive been depressed for a While and like. idk i should really put more time in talking to ppl? checking#up on friends and family. i want to help people and i think ive thought of that as some faraway goal when i can do that right now. and i#think when i help others i can start to help myself. ill try to wake up early tomorrow again and clean around the house. that usually makes#me kind of angry but i think that i should start scheduling my days again. it really helped me in the dorms to have a checklist of stuff#even though i wouldnt always get the stuff done. and i think that i should start like. planning an entire week instead of going day by day.#give myself some more longterm goals. for example ive been worried about art supplies but i told myself today that i should wait to buy more#until i get a job. and i have some phonecalls to do and i want to cook things and idk. is it dumb to say ive felt a little lost? a lot has#been going on irl and i know i say that all the time but i mean particularly right now.#and i feel like my brain’s been foggy because of it but actually doing stuff today made me feel a lot better.#i still have a lot of stuff to do but i think i can get rid of that anxious overwhelmed depressed feeling one day at a time. at the very#least ill try to clean my room tomorrow. i know that probably sounds like a small thing but like i said a lot of things have felt like too#much. and now i have some motivation. anyway back to drawing. i do have some stuff i plan on drawing of course but i think i should be more#lax instead of treating every drawing like a little project? and that i should give myself the time and the space for irl traditional stuff.#that probably sounds contradictory but i mean like. getting rid of physical clutter (my desk needs to be cleaned off) and mental clutter#(fretting over specific papers/art supplies and costs etc etc.) i also think that ive been purposely a little secretive about what i draw#(not showing wips or telling ppl its contents before i finish) and thats kind of stupid because the anticipation/surprise factor shouldnt#be too big of a deal? for jokes its important sure but i mainly mean like. personal stuff like ocs and things i put more work/time into. i#shouldnt hide it ‘until its ready’ because itll make me anxious. ‘what if they wouldnt like it’ ‘what if its boring’ ‘what if its cringe’#who fucking cares anymore. its not.. my problem??? i should be enjoying myself????#oh yeah the original point of this post is actually that i wanted to list the stuff that i want to do but i was also thinkin a lot. so uh#thanks for getting this far. not sure if theres a tag limit actually. anyway. things 2 draw eventually: alisa gave me epic yugioh stickers#and i like the colors so i was thinkin about redrawin/using the color pallets. i keep thinkin about making a game and i want to make mockup#sprites OR focus on locations! :0 i really want to draw little rpg shops u know with someone at the desk and theres all those cool items :)

#light talks#ive been trying to get myself back into traditional art now that my supplies are more easily accessible#and making poortraits is always a good starting point for getting my creativity flowing but i have to have a goofy thing in mind#and adding googly eyes seem funny af

i kno its literally almost april but i didnt do this in january so heres some of my resolutions for this year bc better late than never???
1. i want to get! better at coloring!!
i’ve been working on a few pieces lately that are more involved than what i usually do, like things w/ composition & even simple backgrounds that i want to look nice, but in tackling these bigger projects i’ve come to realize that i have no idea what i’m doing w/ coloring so i want to! get better at that!
specifically my digital coloring too like i think i’ve learned enough about color theory to hold my own with traditional supplies, and part of that is because i’m already given specific colors to work with in traditional, which helps to limit my options. but with digital art literally anything is possible and i find that i’m only able to make something look interesting when im already given a limited color palette. i want to be able to choose fun and interesting palettes on my own! so that’s something i’m gonna work on
but since it’s specifically my digital coloring im concerned with, that means my second mandatory resolution has to be:
2. figure out how to get back into digital art in a way that’s sustainable lol
im still dealing with my hand troubles which makes drawing digitally Very Hard but i don’t think it’s impossible?? last week i was drawing for like 3 or 4 days consecutively with no problems, i think it only started to become a problem when i started working on pieces for long periods of time w/o taking breaks, an unfortunate long-time habit of mine :/
so to tackle this resolution i think i’m gonna need to /really/ crack down on myself about taking breaks, like set timers and do stretches and shit, and then also i should make sure i’m not drawing every day for several days in a row, bc i think that weakens my daily stamina. so figuring out some kind of schedule is key i think!
3. finish At Least one of my fics!! and post it!!!
pretty self-explanatory!! this was one of my resolutions last year iirc and i didn’t manage it but i DID manage to actually write a lot more than i had been doing previously so i count it as a win!! this year i wanna take that progress and run with it and hopefully eventually have something to show for it! i know i Talk about my writing all the time but i feel like that’s all i’ve ever really done is TALK. so this year im hoping to FINALLY get something out there lol!!!!
also not exactly a requirement but if i could even do TWO fics that would be even better!! kind of want my goal to be two but if i only manage one it still counts as a win imo!
4. do one of my short comic ideas!
this kind of goes along the same lines as the last one but instead of a written fic it’s in the form of a comic! i have a couple ideas that have been rolling around in my head for a While now and i rly wanna get some actual practice in with comics this year so i want to try working on them! it would help improve both my drawing and writing skills and hopefully help me get a better handle on storytelling as it works through the comics medium, which is still v foreign to me! hopefully less foreign by the end of the year
ive said this before but i think doing studies by redrawing pages from some of my fave comics would be a big help in giving me a Feel for what it’s like to draw comics w/o having to start w/ a big scary blank slate so! one of my goals is to do some page redraws to help me feel better equipped to tackle this project
SO YEAH THATS IT i don’t wanna like overwhelm myself w/ too many goals for the year, i wanna feel like these are actually realistically achievable, u know? like, there are always other things i want to improve on like composition and backgrounds and stuff like that, but those are things i’m just gonna keep in the back of my mind as things to steadily improve on as i go- i’m not gonna tackle them specifically this time around. these four points are the Main Big Things i wanna work on rn so!! yeah!!! here we fuckin go!!!!!
#retag later#talkin bout stuff#resolutions n shit#just wanna make 2 additional notes tho LOL.....#5. finish the goddamn silan portrait this year PLEASe#and 6. another thing to generally keep in the back of my mind rather than making it a specific goal: more finished-looking pieces#bc usually my stuff just looks like assorted doodles so i wanna start making things that feel more. complete#like make a piece that's a Piece instead of just Pieces u feel#the only reason this isn't an Official Resolution is bc i don't think i can achieve this within a single year#but i do want to start working towards it like. gradually i will get there. & it starts here#ok that's really all this time! bye!!
