Drawing fills me with anxiety and it’s something that’s really hard for me. It’s hard to explain. I once tried to become an illustrator, but thought it was going to be complicated if I had to be self-employed, economically unestable and had to deal with my depression at the same time. I don’t have the discipline needed. I felt I wasn’t good enough. It turned me nuts, couldn’t handle it and I had to quit.
But I’ve been drawing a little again this month. And it worked for me today after feeling really down. I am better after being distracted drawing. Did it for hours. It just doesn’t always work. But today I knew how to be patient with myself and it was nice.
Tomorrow I will have to face reality again… But I will keep on drawing. Didn’t know I could do it. Not like this
(So i liked this drawing, and wanted to show it around… sorry to show off… it’s just a detail. It’s part of a story and there is a boy that has a dog (a boxer) but wants a tiger, so…)

Very nice! I think maybe understand what you mean by feeling anxious before starting drawing. I used to draw a little when I was young, and sometimes didn’t want to start drawing because I was afraid to not being able to finish it, because it demands concentration and my mind is always runing away from full concentration duties and I didn’t know if I could finish it all at once.
Yes, that is awkward some times too. I know what you mean. But, you know, sometimes it’s not about starting. In my case it goes all along the process. My body feels awkward and my mind is fills with haze. And I keep thinking I want to stop. But I also want to finish it. So I feel weak , and I must finish quick. And then I can’t do anything. And I start eating. So I stop drawing. Making one single drawing takes me like half a year. So I can’t do it professionally
Hahahaha sounds funny somehow
