Desperately trying to draw daily again, even if it's just quick doodles right before bed. Thinking of trying to color with water based pigments later, since this Gasenfude ink is waterproof, and it's been forever since i colored with watercolors or water based inks.

Last night or early this morning, I realized why I've had such terrible self care and disrupted habits lately: digital drawing. For the past several days, I've been working primarily on digital drawings, in preparation for more sticker printer sales, and thus getting closer to finally opening an online shop.
But there is a problem: I am accustomed to finishing a traditional drawing everyday. I need that daily boost of self esteem and sense of accomplishment. And I can get that through traditional drawings, because I can do that a lot faster than digital vector drawings. Because digital vector drawing takes me so long, I keep pulling all-nighters, chasing the hope that I'll be able to finish the drawing in one day, and get that daily boost of accomplishment that I need so desperately. I'm being propped up by an unreliable spiritual drug. ;o; I keep staying up all night, trying to finish a drawing, trying to get that sense of accomplishment…and failing. ;_; And in the meantime, I'm destroying my health and my good habits, with these all-nighters, all for these fruitless pursuits! ;o;
So tonight, I'm going to try to do an analog/traditional drawing BEFORE I get to my digital drawing. That way, it won't matter if I don't finish my digital drawing. I will have gotten my emotional needs met by my traditional drawing already. I've had this plan before, but I keep finding myself just allured towards tackling the digital drawing head-on. Maybe because that first dragons&tea vector drawing turned out so well, and was even noted by people who I've never seen notice my Tumblr before. (Instagram hates my dragon drawings though. ;_; ) But I have to break free of the illusion. It's unreliable. I need to meet my emotional needs myself, first, so that whatever happens or doesn't happen with my digital drawing is negligible. Then I can get some sleep! And maybe fix my sleep patterns! And have more daylight time to do more stuff! ;o;!!!
And I have to draw something, even a doodle, that I'll feel proud of. The other day, I pencil sketched a bunch of horn studies, and I thought that because that was in traditional art mediums, that counted towards my quota for drawing traditional/analog art. But it was totally ineffective, for what traditional drawing usually does for me. It didn't make me feel accomplished. They were just pencil sketch studies. I need to draw characters I love, I need to draw fanart, and I need it to be completed to a level that I can feel proud of. Drawing traditionally is ineffective, if it doesn't create this emotional sense of accomplishment in me. That's what I need traditional drawing and completed daily drawings for.

Look at the boy!!! Sass and all, adding to his bad boy image. And why not put in some headcanon stuff?
I swear my rendering changes every five canvases or something if I don't draw daily
