Dominicque's Sketchbook

[JavierP]

Hi Dominicque! I think your feelings are very valid, especially considering the state of the world these days. I think it is due to our access to so much media all the time. When I was much younger, there was no internet and I had very little access to printed media. I drew the things I liked and was unable to compare myself to many, much better, artists. I think that point in time helped me to develop as an Illustrator, mentally more than anything else.
I would really suggest you foster that kind of environment for yourself. Stay away from the noise of social media and focus on the things you want to make. Don't let the weight of the world's problems and preoccupations be a factor in your creative journey. At the end of the day, we are making these images for our own satisfaction and enjoyment. Try to find that place again. It will make your art journey so much more satisfying and less stressful. You do great work! Don't worry so much about the rest. Good luck.
