Over the course of today, which was really just 5 minutes, I realized that the current mountain I'm trying to climb is something I'm not ready for yet. That mountain? Hands. Like holy fcking Christ I just can't do them.
I didn't know how to start practicing, my brain was rejecting tutorials on YouTube due to the fact that I'm self taught, and I received a massive head ache.
And during those shitty 5 minutes of everything crashing down on me, I realized something.
Practice takes time. Practice is something you must be patient with. If you're not ready, then you're not ready. Just tackle something easier.
After this summer, I realized how much I improved. Before the summer started, I couldn't do anything other than head shots. Now I'm mastering legs, hips, and arms;
The main figures of a body. I could draw thin figures and plump figures. I realized then that if I suddenly go to another massive project out of no where it'll leave me more sore.
Learning those things over the summer just took time. It took me realization on how to draw them, and it just came to me suddenly.
I learned that taking a step back and taking a breathe wasn't so bad.
So I'm ready for another school year, with more of me just realizing clicks in my art. And for the next summer, which I hope, will bring me more improvement.
Thank you for reading, and good night :3
P.S ----- Who else is pissed about the Pokémon Go update
