1. Made something for 3weeks4dw (admittedly I'm anxious about sharing it)

2. I worked on more perspective and I'm FINALLY making some head way, it's glorious. I think continuing to study this fundamental for the rest of the year is the best choice.

3. I realized what was going wrong with my comic during this first round of editting! So... Hopefully my composition and choice of what to draw will make the story more pleasing and coherent now.

4. My art style's becoming more me?

I think my next goal is figuring out how people balance making comics and shit with other stuff because I seriously feel I'm getting closer to figuring that out and I REALLY wanna be more prolific than I am rn (and more comfortable posting stuff).

Anyway... Good to be back! Good luck everyone.

"figuring out how people balance making comics and shit with other stuff" VERY relatable!! I've been seriously trying to get back into art as of this year and this feels like the big struggle. I can manage a doodle a day but managing bigger projects is such a challenge on top of work, life commitments, etc. I hope you figure out what works for you soon!!

It REALLY is hard. Does art ever feel like commiting to a group or friendship? Because that's what it feels like for me. Like you have to actively put a lot of effort into the relationship if you want art to reciprovate and give you that same sort of attention. It's so labor intensive that it becomes intimidating for me sometimes.

So I do want to say thanks for the kind words of encouragement!

But despite all that, it IS fun to try and I hope you're still having fun while trying to navigate balancing and scheduling as well. :D

Ooooooh that's a really good analogy! To that end, personally I've been re-connecting with that relationship through a lot of chill hangouts rather than having any big deep conversations. It is fun, even though it doesn't feel like very much, but maybe just maintaining the relationship day-to-day has its own value.
