We haven't heard from you in awhile, are you doing well?

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 01:56:00 -0400

I’m doing fine! Thank you for the concern :). I went silent for a bit mostly because I was swamped with big projects from work and some design favors I promised people, and also I realized I needed a break from drawing to let my frustrations ease— it was nice to fully immerse myself into design, and some good things have been happening which have helped me realize that maybe I’m not too shabby at what I do.

But hopefully once this week is over I’ll return to the tumblr scene again!

I’ve been doing a lot of Korra sketches lately, but nothing that’s finished to the point where I feel confident to post. But sometimes, I wonder— why am I doing all this fanart? What’s the point of it? It’s not like I’m trying to be a professional illustrator since it’s just a hobby for me, but I put in so much time and effort into my pieces that I can’t help but feel like it’s a waste sometimes. I could be focusing all my energy into trying to improve my design skills, to strengthen my portfolio so that at least something will actually come out of all the hours and hours of labor I put into something. It’s not like I really even do anything with my fanart; I throw them onto the internet and eventually forget about them. It’s hard for me to do things with no purpose.

This is probably just my frustration talking because none of my art is turning out how I envision it in my mind, and I have all these ideas that I want to do but am scared to start for fear of failure and wasting my efforts. Being a perfectionist is stressful.

eeh! i saw you make a post about wanting your followers to ask you about things, but i'm super intimidated by you and your awesome art. lskdng;aslndh BUT i was wondering if you used any pose references when you work, or if you do things off the top of your head? also, what is your otp? 8D

Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:26:00 -0400

Ack, please don’t feel intimidated by me! Really, I am like the least intimidating person ever LOL. For poses, I usually don’t use references; I base everything on the principals I learned through figure study classes. If there’s a particularly difficult part of the body I can’t get right, I actually sometimes pose myself and try to work off of that. As for my OTP… oh, I have so many! I’d have to say Zutara. ~~And Makorra. And Seifer/Quistis and Selphie/Irvine but that’s another fandom altogether.~~
