I’m 7 paintings into the STRADA challenge, and while I do still experience that starting friction “I don’t wanna :(“ every day, it’s starting to feel like a habit now, and I’m having more fun with it. This is the longest I’ve ever painted in a row

You know, being in school where all of my time is taken studying for exams and stuff for my degree has taught me that I do actually want to be a full time artist AND a full time person working in the environmental science field
Before this I was VERY wishy washy with art

Slowly learning new methods of coloring and rendering digital paintings. This was grayscale and I messed around with saturations, color balances, curves, etc

Planning future paintings and trying to get back into art after losing my sweet cat Nyl. I’m hopeful for my future plans because it’s a lot different than my normal paintings, but working through grief is really tough.
Give yourself grace when needed, friends.

I feel like I’m not obsessed with art anymore or at least right now, and everywhere I turn people talk about needing to be obsessed with it
Is this what burnout is?

First self portrait since 2013. Learned a new skill and wanted to try it out! Had fun with this one, but according to Procreate, I spent ~24 hours on this painting. Woof.
