when you want to draw but youre too stressed to do well on commissions and too guilt laden about the commissions thing to draw personal art so you just become an ouroboros of procrastination and anxiety
me creating an OC five years ago: i have to make this character as different from myself as i can, or they’ll be self-insert mary sue trash. they have to be my complete polar opposite. i will have no idea how to characterize them, but they must not share any traits with me whatsoever
me creating an OC now: and YOU get my social anxiety, and YOU get my fear of intimacy, and YOU get my inability to admit when i’ve made a mistake, and YOU are basically just me in a hat,
I drew this in Paintbrush, Microsoft Paint equivalent for Mac, as a challenge. Came out alright.
Goes to show getting the best program or the most powerful computer, doesn’t mean much. You have to focus on your art abilities, not the program, for its just another tool. Like a pencil.
