@lemmynsfw.comI was also in a position where I burnt out and didn’t want to create anything for about a year. I’ve been starting back up again slow- first with gardening, now with paints, music and punch needling.
So… I’m not sure if everyone on the thread gets notified.
First off I’d like to say thank you for all the criticism and advice. I’ll take all of this on board- I’m just cautious to keep it fun and not take it too seriously.
And yes, the rest of the world is as beautiful as the sun. I should highlight that.
Oh! I’m so so bad when it comes to light sources. I get carried away and then think no one will notice ☺️
I’m self taught- besides a few YouTube tutorials here and there, I like trying to figure things out.
I really enjoy creating. I’ve never been good at drawing and only half good at painting. But I’m realising not everything I have to create needs to be good- sometimes it’s about the process.
Burn out is so real. It’s important to enjoy what you’re doing.
I create for me- so I don’t care if my paintings aren’t all there. I enjoyed painting, and I’m proud of myself for sitting down and doing it.
Thank you for your advice- it comes from a good place.
