  1. First of all, I'll been sending wips and finished orders today.

    Now, there's something I wanted to share, this is what I've wrote to chelly today

     

    I am working hard on everyone's orders, I've been on too many personal problems lately. I don't really like to talk about it since I really try to make my best to not involve my personal things with work, but it's not working, and I want to tell you so you can know that I am not avoiding anything... until september 2017 that me and my husband were taking care of his grandmother, since she was alone with her husband but he is also a old man, she always lived in our house but she went so sick, we had to start paying a nurse to take proper care of her, also she had too many medicaments too and of course that was first, but it was so expensive. Until here, I was working properly, but at the end of that month my husband got fired and I had to take care of all the debts and expenses... I tried so hard to work as much as I can and everything still good but his grandmother unfortunately got worse and entered the hospital on january. We started to take turns to take care of her on the hospital, so my time was so reduced, when I returned home I tried to work harder I can as always, but I still had to work harder because we had a lot of things to pay, so I started to try plattaforms to try to get some extra while I worked on my commissions queue like Twitch and Patreon. Whenever I'm live at twitch I work on commissions too, I've never skipped, forgot or schamed anyone, my time just got shorter...
    Unfortunately, she died 2 weeks ago... it was so hard for us and besides of all, it meant more money for the funeral... on January I resorted to livestream events on weekends so I could get at least a part of what we needed on just 3 days of weekend, without taking so much time and that way I don't extend my queue anymore. We're on march, I did that event once a month, and that type of event worked so good thanks god, and thanks all the peuple kindness, that's why I closed commissions everywhere to work properly on all the orders. 
    Sorry for making you read a ton... maybe I should tell this to everyone. Of course this is not an excuse, not even a little, because I should be able to finish my work when I say I will... but I was doing the best I could to get everything solved the best I could... this months has been rough but we're better now... I know it looks awful to say that when someone died, but we took care of her the best we could, we even bathed her and helped her eat... she suffered a lot, she was a proud person that I know that she hated to be on that state (she even couldn't speak). So I feel better for her now she stopped suffering in every way... 
    I will send wips and finished orders right on this moment.

     

    Hope you're fine and have a really nice day!

    These blocking moments are not simply something that happens to us just because. They happen when we unconsciously find that we do not like what we are doing.
    We ourselves, even without knowing it, have the idea that something it is not right or should be improved.
    So, what do you have to do to get out of this state?

    I advise you the following things:
    - Go back to review and study about all the important bases
    that form what you are doing. You are probably missing something or forgetting an important point.
    - Be curious and research about techniques, tools and things that nurture your art.
    -Try to find people who inspire you. We all have a way
    traveled and to go. Do not see other people that you feel
    that are better than you and you get frustrated, but try to see in them a goal and someone to learn from.
    -Analyze everything you see, try to interpret the elements of what you are seeing and find the things you like, the "why" you like it. Basically, this will create your "artistic personality" because what you do when creating is absolutely related to our personal tastes.
    -DO NOT STOP DRAWING.

    It is basically a stage of study and development of oneself. Do not despair! Take the time to understand yourself and know what is bothering you.

    I was like that for a whole year, forcing myself to draw and feeling that I did not like anything, I drew very little and I did not even want to do it most of the time.

    Until I finally tried something different, I learned too much by doing the things I told you above, in just a few days, I was able to get out of that feeling that had been chasing me all year! I discovered that my drawings looked flat, without depth, that they didn't have good proportions, that I did not pay attention to the compositions or contrasts, all the materials that I drew looked the same, among many other things. By doing this, I could have a better vision of what I had to improve, and what I had to practice more to do it.
    Each new drawing that I created from this point in which I had "awareness" of what I had to do, made me feel proud. I felt that I was moving forward and that I could do even better.

    I know it's not a magic recipe, but it's something that I'm sure will help you get out of this so annoying state that does not let you move on.

    Cheers everyone! I hope you find these tips useful! ; v ; 2764.png<3
