Hey there, Daggers. Long time no post.
Okay so get ready for some life ramblings. TL;DR version: getting myself motivated to draw has been getting harder to do recently, I'm in a big slump, it suuuucks.
But yeah, I kind of stopped posting here and then about a week later I slowly stopped drawing as much. There was like a two-day stretch there where I didn't draw a single thing. It's just been getting hard for me to do, which really scares me since I'm worried I'm succumbing to depression again. It was something I suffered from this past school year, which is honestly why I didn't improve as much in the past year as I would have liked. I don't know, having to force yourself to do something takes a lot of the enjoyment out, at least for me, so it doesn't make me want to do it as much. And if I do motivate myself to paint something, I get much more easily frustrated with it.
But anyways, I really want to get back into the swing of things, I was doing really good for a really long time. And I'll be moving back into school in just two weeks, and I really don't want for me to fall behind a lot like I did last year. So my goal will be to really amp it up with drawing all the time, even when I have schoolwork to do.
Okay, done. Whew.
I have a bunch of pages of sketches and studies I've done in the past two weeks, but instead of posting all of them and clogging my SB, here's all of them smooshed into one big image:

I'm not sure if seeing all these makes me feel better or worse lmao.
