🕑 Added 2024-11-07 21:01:34 +0000 UTCHey guys! I'm making this post to clarify the lack of content and my low productivity in the last few weeks here. You're my patreons and are paying to be be here so you have the right to know why this is happening.
I've been going through situations I never imagined in my life, I'm dealing with problems that I have no idea how to solve, but I'm trying. However, something that had never happened to me before ended up... happening. I've always had the willpower to draw, even when I was sad or discouraged. I learned that regardless of my mood, I should draw, and I've always managed to do it, or at least until now. I've never felt the pen so heavy in my hand, I've never had so much difficulty drawing a straight line or looking at the screen for more than 5 minutes spree. My energy to draw was almost non-existent, almost, because in the middle of this whole situation I discovered perhaps where the source of the primordial energy in me comes from that makes me want to keep doing what I do, and to value it: inspiration that the people around bring me, because I know theyโre having their battles as well, and I see them, I value each one of them.
This inspiration, which is this little flame that burns inside me that makes me continue doing what I do, this little flame that no matter how fragile it may seem will never go out. I know it. And I know that soon everything will go back to the way it was before, and I will be able to be happy doing what I do again. Time heals everything.
I apologize for this inconvenience, I know that many of you are waiting to have a work from me but for now I will be going slowly, being guided by this tiny flame in the middle of this vast darkness in my mind to keep doing what I do with love. I thank each and every one of you who continues to support my work even now, I hope to be able to repay all of you one day! Iโll be trying to do sketches on Fridays when possible as a reward for the patience! And please, don't send me messages about this please, the only thing I need now is patience.
I hope I was clear with my words, my English is not the best. lol
Stay safe and stay well everyone! <3

I really appreciate the support!! I donโt think I need to step away from art, I just need to go slow and avoid rushing my recovery!

You don't need to apologize. I think a lot of us as creatives can understand how difficult art can be. How forcing yourself is no simple task. The weight of the pen as you put it very aptly. Your art is a privelege we are grateful for, not a necessity. Take the time you need, even if it means stepping away from art. And I hope you can still take enjoyment in it the ways that you do

That's okay, Phinn! Tbh, if you need to rest, eat/hydrate(or both) or recover before focusing on drawing, do that first! If you can't draw but you can do household chores, do that first! I would rather you be happy, relaxed, etc when drawing. OH ๐ฎ That reminds me, I'll dm you something!

You dont need to apologize for anything at all. We all pass on some shit so.etimes a d thats natural. The important thing is that you have your friend by your side and people you can count on! Do t force yourself so much, it is never a good thing to do. Sometimes we need to take a step back to have the impulse to jump longer distances. Stay strong and always be that amazing person that you are! You too inspire some of us! I garantee you this! Stay safe!!!
