TWO WEEK TRIP AND MASSIVE CHANGES (Patreon)

Ahoy, friends. Interesting bit of stuff happening in my head and in my life, so I think one of these parties is overdue. I've been slowly drawing (you may have noticed the pickup in activity again) and I've been doing a lot of thinking about how I want things to go with this Patreon and drawing overall. Without further ado, let's hop into the nonsense.

The Good: 

Drawing has been relatively steady. Not only has regular gesture and anatomy practice been happening, I've been doing a lot more personal experimentation in terms of colors and perspective. It feels like I'm doing what I should be doing and that I'm relatively on the way in building regular confidence. There's good days and bad days, but I worked through a bad day and turned it into a good day once. I'm calling that progress.

The Bad:

Leaving for two weeks! Right when I wanna make all kinds of things happen! But I'm gonna make lemonade here. I'm gonna take the time to really sit down and think about what I want reward tiers to be, what I want to regularly put on Patreon, what I'm ABLE to regularly put on Patreon, etc etc etc. Unfortunately a part of my growth as an artist has been not only realizing and chasing my strengths, but also accepting and building on my weaknesses. I took on way too much when I first started the thing. While it felt great to keep at it the way I did, it was ultimately a bit too much at the time and I burned out hard. I'm thinking of making a poll to see if ya'll wanna help me figure out what things to slap onto here. 

The Ugly:

This Patreon! My Picarto! Every fucking platform I work on! Fuck are things disorganized! Everywhere! Reward tiers are all over the place, and I haven't done much to tidy up what with the last time I had to take an extensive break and a good number of patrons (rightfully) jumped ship. I don't have a really unified theme going on anywhere and it's part of why I still feel like I'm groping around in the dark, even as I feel like I'm making progress as an artist. I need to buckle down and take things seriously if I want my stuff to progress past being a simple hobby. This means a stylistic overhaul pretty much everywhere. 

To summarize, no new content until the 28th, but I will still try to be typing around here and there. I'll have a poll out in a bit too. Feel free to tell me what you think in the comments and, as always, thank you so much for sticking around.
