In the time of chimpanzees...

I just wanted to thank everyone who answered to my last post. I’m sorry I got a bit emotional and personal, but I felt if I told the whole truth it might be easier for you to understand what it’s like, and that I really felt lost considering my art. So, thank you all very much who have answered so far and have given me some directions on how to proceed from this point forward. You are very sweet and helpful people, and I really appreciate your helpful advice!

I think you should just have fun, and maybe do the occasional study (at a relaxed pace, though). The penguin blog is a step in the right direction, I reckon

Yes, many have told me to just relax for a while and not focus too much on studying. I might try to implement it in the more creative and loose art, make interesting for myself again. I don’t need to learn and be able to do everything in an instant. Especially after such rough years it would be wrong to force myself to do anything I’m not comfortable with. Thank you for your advice, mugu <3

A trick that I always use to get back in the saddle is to keep in mind a place that make me feel at home (in my case is a pinewood near the sea it may will help you as well!) and draw what YOU like not what other people may will love to see from you!

That’s a very interesting strategy… I tend to overthink and stress so much about my improvement, maybe I really just should take a step back, think of a place I feel secure and content and just relax. - That is a very good advice, thank you so much, haughty! :)

I can’t say I’m an artist, but I just hope you continue feeling better & mentally healing!

Thank you very much <3 I’m on a very good way to overcome all that and I’m already feeling a lot better since dropping out of school and doing what I want to do… and I didn’t want to worry you or something, I just thought it would be better to paint a picture of the whole situation in order to articulate how I’m feeling in the moment.. sorry if I got a bit too emotional… ^^°
