krockat: misspochicha-art: tamberella: A Twitter thread of mine that I think some of you may find useful here as well! I’ll update this periodically when I update the Twitter thread. October has 30 days and inktober 30 prompts and I have accomplished just 1 lolSo nice to be back in college(cries desconsoladamente in Spanish)Well, I’ll reblog this in here to have it in mind for someday in the future when I’ll be able to do some inktober art and because it could also be useful to my fellow artists who follow me that’s 1! that’s a 100% more than zero if math is hanging with me today!and 100% more than me! you’re doing good!do you get to do art in your studies? are you an art-ificier? Sorry if I’m oversharing but I feel that I should give a context to my situation, to myself mostly, because I’m too harsh at myself most of the time, ignoring my own reality and setting unachievable expectations of what I am actually able to do. I don’t get to do art in my studies, at all because I’m busy all the time studying 3 types of different grammar (because of the three languages I study) and translating non stop from one language to another, plus studying other things like theory of linguistics and semiotic and also literature in a foreign language to me, without considering the time I spend as a babysitter (which is kinda handful most of the time)… And when I have time I use it to study violin because if I left that aside for more than three days in a row it shows when I try to play again… I get rusty easily (and I need to play almost as it was about a medical prescription because it keeps me grounded.) So the actual free time that I have for me, to do what I truly love, that’s drawing, is almost none at all.I have no financial support whatsoever from the woman that gave birth to me and pops wouldn’t pay for an artistic degree (he has health problems and is afraid that such a degree wouldn’t grant me a good future in case he wasn’t able to support me anymore) so he helps me with this one hoping that I’ll be able to find soon a good job and be independent financially speaking. I look forward to that day because I can’t wait to pay for an art degree payed by my own means and dedicate my life to what I truly adore. So perhaps doing one drawing (comparing it with the zero drawings I’ve made for inktober these last few years) is quite acceptable and perhaps I should be nicer to myself after all…Thank you so much for your words. Sorry if I wrote such a long answer, but I must say that your words truly made me feel better (I smiled a lot reading it) because I was actually feeling pretty guilty for not doing enough compared to other artists… But compared to myself and putting my situation in my own context… It’s good enough already ❤️ -- source link
