Welcome to another Sunday Sessions!
Today's piece is inspired by the amazing community I am thankful everyday to be apart of - #dtubedaily.
There was a lot of firsts for me working with this piece and I will admit it was incredibly challenging and frustrating. I think the frustration came from the anxiety I was already feeling and this huge pressure to perform.
Like most pieces, I start conceptualising in my sketch book. I honestly never draw males and with the tests sketches and the final pieces I ended up drawing 42 male faces! Not only was I nervous about executing the faces, but I ended being a lot happier with some of the first sketches then I was with the end faces. Not to worry! Practice makes perfect.
Towards the end I realised I didn't leave enough space for myself and I was pretty dissatisfied by how my character turned out considering I've drawn it a few times before. I started losing energy and my motivation dropped and the linger thought of failure picked at my brain but I didn't let myself stop. Regardless of how I felt, the want to finish it for what it meant to me was stronger than any doubt.
I originally had plans to add watercolour to the faces but once the sketching and inking was done, I was exhausted (5 hours later!) I might consider painting it at some point in the future.

Thank you! @slayerkm. I can't stop smiling, I feel like a giddy school kid! Creating things like this are really personal to me sometimes and I have such high expectations of myself and how it will be received. But I'm glad that you like it. It seriously makes me very happy. And I can definitely organise a copy for you if you'd like. 😊💗

@maneki-neko I was honestly so nervous to upload this. The intention to do this has been there for a while but I had a lot of doubt that I could do it. But I always like creating art for those I care about because it's one of my rawest expressions. I'm glad you like it!

I also struggled with anxious thoughts many years ago. I have one thought that neutralizes them now. And it's this, "everything always works out in the end and I don't need to know what means it will take to get me there." I know it might not work for everyone because I have feeling associated with that though but it works like a charm for me.

It's always really great to know what works for you when you are experiencing anxiety. We all have different triggers and different remedies, and its a humanising thing to know that you're not the only one who experiences it. Sometimes I can get so caught up in it but it feels nice to share with others because it helps me work through the feelings. Thanks for sharing. 😊

Drawing and creating definitely help with the anxiety. I have gotten much better over the years with managing it. I am glad you enjoy it! I actually had so much fun drawing you, so much sass! I always love it!

Eheheheh well I still think I am not a sassy person. I have adopted that brand because every single job I had I've got people commenting on how sassy I am... so I have decided to embrace it.... even if I dont agree lol

Thanks for being so honest about your anxiety, I also experience this. It's a bit of a double edged sword because social media is so beneficial to artists to get the work seen, but that leaves us with an immense pressure to perform and to constantly be doing good work. Take care of yourself :)

I totally agree, I honestly feel a little more anxious on other social medias like instagram and facebook. But the platform here has such encouraging and supportive people that it allows me to work through those fears in a safe space. Thank you for your thoughts. It means so much. 💛
