antidepressants do seem to reduce SOME people’s creativity, but this was not the case for me. Art became more enjoyable abd my imagination did not become dull
If you are suffering, anti-depressants may be an option. You don’t know how/if it will effect your art until you try.
Had a thought today that the pursuit of productivity doesn’t align with what I want to get out of art right now.
I’m trying to see a reality where a productive result isn’t the goal, and feeling recharged and restful is.
i re-drew my brother @mordiggin ‘s character Adlen!
I wanted to demonstrate some techniques he might want to encorperate in his style (also after he coloured his image, we realized he forgot to do the occlusion line-art pass that he usually does with his art).
A long time ago, I decided I would make finished illustrations that weren't just practice, even though I had no where near mastered fundamentals.
So all my art is my practice, successes, and failed attempts, that I share with you :)
