I LOVE WATCHING YOU DRAW. I think the way you feel about watching yourself draw on camera is amplified x397198243 times for us, so this was an absolute JOY. The only thing I wished we had more of,,, was screen time for that *victory pose* + music!!! v cute!!!

This has been one of my favorite videos so far.. not just because of the art... but because it's this super honest vulnerability that I wish I saw in the art community more! It sucks that no one really talks about how hard it can be to actually make art as an artist for what ever reason that may be... watching you made me feel less insecure about how I call myself an artist.... but hardly have time to actually DO ART lol... so yah thanks

I can relate to the feeling of needing to finish a project. Don't know why, but when I started to plan time for art, muse came at different times too for shorter sessions 😄 so I would block out three hours in the evening (more than I need) so I don't have to pay attention to time, and than when I'm waiting for my daughter to be finished from swim lessons, i would have 45 min to sketch. Most of the time now I feel like creating... It's like it builds through the day and comes out at night. It's tricky for you cause you have a early muse... Maybe train your muse for eve sessions... It takes a min of 21 days to learn a new habit... Maybe it helps.. Love your art and admire your approach to a sketch. You block first and detail later... Mesmerizing 😍😍😍

It doesn't matter what medium you use, the result is always so unique and refreshing! I love everything you have created along this video! I hear you about watercolor. This was my medium before going full digital... and I miss it! I might get motivated to go back to traditional mediums (I waited to move, now I don't have an excuse anymore... despite maybe trying and so buying so gouache as I think about it for a long time x') ). Have a good day!

A hair dryer is your friend. I'm also terribly impatient when waiting for art supplies to dry. I started experimenting with a hair dryer to cut out that wait-time, and so far I've found no reason not to do that. Granted, I've never tried gouache. I'm in a watercolor phase at the moment and pretty much just paint for pleasure in my sketchbook.

Would it be incorrect to say that maybe you need someone you can delegate more of your admin to? I don't know if that's within your budget at all, but you're doing a lot of the shop yourself, most of your Patreon by yourself, I'm assing all of your KZitem stuff by yourself, it's no surprise that you're not left with any time for actual art making.

Super random question (I love this video btw as always!!!) Anyone else who has ADHD who has major art block? I'm hoping I'm just in one of those phases where I'm becoming 'skilled enough' but also a very big perfectionist, so at this point I'm not even trying to make art for fun (or for work haha). My brain is really ruining it, even if I see it's well drawn. I'm scared I'll get tired of illustration (ADHD and changing hobbies/interests is a very big thing). I'm seeing a therapist tho, but idk if anyone has had the same situation? I have been an illustrator since 2018, and things were really starting to kick off lately, but now I don't know how to do art anymore without the freedom in my mind. I actually stopped and am now sick at home because I'm very confused. I don't know how my career might look as I change interests so often, and I'm extremely perfectionist although my skills are finally 'good enough' if you know what I mean. I'm recognized as disabled tho (also can't do a job I'm not interested in hahah), but I don't think I feel comfortable enough to just quit everything I've built over the past few years. I just wish I could do art without needing the validation of others, because now my brain is overly programmed like that lol. I also promised a friend to illustrate a whole childrens book this year. This used to be my dream for years, and now I suddenly hate the thought. Thanks if someone has read this, I'll of course talk to this about my therapist, but I wanted to know if there would be anyone else here with ADHD since she mostly focusses on trauma therapy and not ADHD

It's so funny to hear you talk about noticing how much green you use; I was trying to be a bit more experimental lately and decided to choose that chartreuse color as my main, and try to use a few of the color combos I see from you and love. I associate you with the yellow-green color 100%.

Drinking soft water is also bad for you! Hard water, that you can get from a spring, or a house on a well, still has all the vitamins and minerals in it. Most people don’t know this but, soft water will always try and replenish itself with vitamins and minerals, even after we drink it. So if we drink soft water, meaning city water or heavily filtered water, it will search our bodies and pull out what little we have in our bodies and then get peed out. This is one of the main reasons most people have deficiencies! Knowledge is power, the more you know the better off you will be!
