Sketches and small updates
Added 2025-07-08 18:28:46 +0000 UTCHappy July...or as happy as you can be. The beginning started off really rough, and I kind of crashed out after a weekend outing with family. While it was a nice distraction from everything, it was a LOT of socializing that I wasn't ready to handle so when we came back home I was totally fried.
Ive been doing these daily affirmations on my main tumblr but I had to take a break because Im not in the right head space for them. They were originally meant for me and its been fun making them for others but then I started getting anxiety that I had to "perform" and make sure these affirmations were done "right" or else they would upset/bore someone. I dont want that. And its hard to write or draw something happy or uplifting when you're sad.
Despite my own issues, these have been some of the sketches I did during the first week and theyre not bad if I say so myself! Thanks to the encouragement from my partner, Im taking breaks and doing hand exercises so I don't injure or burn myself out. Not all of these are affirmations, just sketches I did on the side or gifts for friends. It's all helped to keep me from doom scrolling. Sad as Ive been, to me doing art is a form of resistance. And I will keep drawing (but watching my own health in the process) 😤
Thanks for looking, and again a huge thank you to everyone who's shown support here on my patreon ;u; your patronage, likes and comments really lift my spirits. I hope my art can be a little spark of joy in your day 💚

I think you've been improving too, because you've been experimenting and throwing yourself into it! You've always been a fantastic artist; it's really fun to get to watch you metaphorically break into a run right now and make more things you love 🐎✨🎇
