Got my wrist brace. Can use my mouse fine with it, might be able to draw with it too. Arm's hurting more today than it has in a while.
I've been slacking with art for so long but now I need to take more breaks... Been doing 4-5h sessions when it needs to be way more. Conflicted.

Saw a doctor about my arm. They say I should wear a wrist brace as often as I can for a while. No permanent issues, but I need to take days off art more often or it could get worse.
Been better the past few days since I haven't been drawing so I know that's the main culprit.

Gonna have to take another art break, longer this time. Arm's feeling worse, I don't really know how to deal with it. Guess I have to do nothing for a while.
Frustrating, but if I end up unable to draw then I'm just kinda done in general so I don't have much choice.

Might be the last thing I draw for a bit. Arm's feeling rough, need to take time off.

Tried twice to draw her, the first one didn't work out at all. This is still kind of messy.
Not sure how much I should be drawing right now because of my arm. I hate taking too much time off, but I'm definitely slower than usual since I'm trying to be careful.

Can't figure out straight-on heads at all. Sometimes they're good and other times not, even when I use the same methods. Faces are always pure luck for me, but it's much worse from the front.
My arm still feels weird. It's less pain and more a noticeable discomfort.

Have to take the day off because of arm pain. Been a thing for a little while now and not sure why. It's not carpal tunnel since it's my entire arm.
Annoying since the last things I did turned out alright and I wanted to keep it going.

Follow up of the previous thing I did. Forgot there's a way to hide sensitive content, maybe should have done that for the first one, too.
Kind of surprised at how well these went. This one was saved because of the effects, looked pretty rough for a while.

Haven't done this kind of page practice in a while. 2h~. Like always I intended to more background stuff but never actually do it. Been thinking a lot about just stopping art lately, but I have no reason to be if I'm not doing it.
Just can't get anything going.

Concept sketch
I want to do the face and hair differently, but after taking so long to do the sketch I get to a point where I don't care to fix anything and just leave it. 4.5h to do what's effectively a cleaned up sketch. Just posting cause it's done.
Gonna take tomorrow off...

Previous outfit was too flat, and while this isn't much better there's a bit more going on. Definitely not doing outfits for any of my other girls since this took 5h+ and I'm still not happy with it.

Mostly practicing clothes, idk if it went well or not. 5h isn't good considering both the simplicity and that I was trying to be as fast as possible. Bottom one took 1h, but it's also the one I cared about the least.
Guess I'll throw myself at it again tomorrow.

2.5h~ Sketch went very quickly, but the lineart bit was REALLY slow and I stopped caring after that.
Gonna work on doing clothes better, which I tried a bit on the bend of the sleeve here. NEED to start doing BG stuff again too, but by the time I get there I'm too annoyed.

Endless issue of not knowing how to deal with clothing. Simple stuff like this takes 4h+ so I'm hesitant to try anything more.
Wanted to do these for some of my other girls, also planned to do it colored and more dynamic, but I'm really forcing it even with this.

Managed to draw today but felt terrible doing it. Been getting nauseous while drawing lately. I'm not sick, it's just stress. Can't take a break, as the guilt makes me feel worse. Irl stuff might make me have less time to draw too.
I have many thoughts right now, all of them bad.

Straight-on faces still giving me troubles. Always ends up looking like a different style from everything else, even if it's fine overall. I don't get it.
Might take today off drawing, mostly for mental health reasons. Depends on how guilty I feel about it later on.

Probably the most normal feeling drawing I've done in a long time. Bit slow, but not enough to feel bad, looks alright, but not good enough to feel positive about. It simply is.

Sketch
Didn't want to feel miserable going into tomorrow so I tried another sketch and it went fine. I'm sure when I add stuff to it it'll show issues, but for now it looks fine.
Don't usually show this part of a sketch (Though it's cleaned more than usual) so there ya' go.

One of those times where not one thing went well. Infuriating. Can't even tell you what it was supposed to look like because it would basically be a different drawing.
Feel too nauseous to try again. Gonna toss the idea entirely. Wasted day I guess.

Practice (OC)
The most simple one gave me the most issues. Flat straight on shots are always a problem. Couldn't say why, but it's consistent.
1.5hr~ each for the other 2, which isn't the worst even if they're more simple looking than I'd like.

2hr on the dot. Slow. Nothing to add to that. Same stuff as always.
Gonna do more, but posting this now to say that I really noticed on this one how quickly my mood drops while drawing. Felt good before starting (Rare event), and less than an hour in I was back to normal.

Haven't been timing myself lately. I never do when I'm trying out new stuff, but I should start doing it again. Thin lines is the way to go, the amount of extra space is wild. I drew the last 3 things pretty small, can't really tell.
Gotta think of what to do, though.

Playing around with thinner lines more. Gives a lot more room to work with, though I'm not sure what to fill it with as clothes/fashion are something I'm not good with.
I figured it would make things look a bit more serious, but it's more than I expected. All good so far.
