What if all this is just happening to point you to your true purpose in life: being a comic artist.
Seriously, I love these 'sketchies' of yours. Even more because they give us an intimate look into your ( not so ) ordinary life.
Please make more sketchies for us, I'm sure it also saves you loads of time and energy ( wasted on perfectionism? )
Big hug!
I was totally going to be a comic artist. Then I decided I better stick to novels because I can't draw. While I still love writing novels, I just love visual storytelling more (unfortunate side effect of that is my vocabulary diminished when I stopped writing novels XD). Then I discovered I loved animation more than comics. So that's what I'm working on now :)
Ah, I had forgotten about that. Think you told me / us once :>)
You kind of sound like me, with the constant changing and you know what, change is only natural and healthy.
P.S. Did I ever tell you that I wanted to be a comic artist too, as a kid? For an unknown reason, I stopped drawing comics around highschool though, besides some meagre or halfassed attempts at a later age
I’m firmly and happily where I am now but bloody hell it’s hard work 🤣
I don’t think you’ve told me that (though maybe you did and I forgot), I just remember you saying that you used to draw all the time as a kid and then you randomly stopped and have been drawing a bit more again recently.

And you don't think that the 'hard work' is a sign that something is off? :>)
I like to think that it's possible to be creative without the need to struggle, or the so called 'hard work' and I am slowly getting there.

I like doing hard things (Kung fu is also hard work, and fun, and I really miss it). I want to animate and I like doing high detail stupid intricate things and sometimes (often 🤣) it’s hard and time consuming but if I don’t do it then I won’t be happy with the results which would have made doing it a waste of time.
Most of the hard work that I whine about is in my catch 22. I desperately want to work full time on this but I can’t unless J is home full time and he can’t be home full time til I’m making at least what he is now (ideally off this as otherwise it will just be the same situation again) and I can’t do that in a timely fashion unless I’m able to work full time on it. So I’m doing the best I can and not sleeping enough because the extra time has to come from somewhere (though at the same time I’m trying to fix that so my brain doesn’t get any more damaged 😵) and I’ve literally given up everything I’m willing to give up and one thing I wasn’t already to claw back more time 😝 I’m probably going to fail anyway 🙄 I just haven’t given up yet partly because I’m stubborn and partly because it helps keep me alive.
