I think I finally realized—or well am finally learning to combat— why my art is so stiff and blah and uninteresting. Aside from the obvious technical difficulties and a need to constantly keep practicing, I never just…loosen up. I’m always over-analyzing and overworking and editing myself before there’s anything to edit. I don’t let any of my ideas really fully develop or just let my hand flow in some sort of natural, unrestrained fashion. I have such a hard time letting go with my art, I’m always trying to one up myself only to just get myself stuck in a corner. 

And I managed to forget in the last 5-6 months how I best develop my ideas…I forgot how much I love making outlines and webs and lists and using words to describe what I’m seeking in an illustration. I was so proud of that Older!Damian Wayne picture, despite obvious needs for improvement, I felt like I had actually accomplished what I set out to do…anyywayysss. This is just a mini-self-rant thing for the sake of…well I don’t know actually XD Just to share I suppose. Thanks so much for sticking with me, it means so damn much. <333
