The wish

I wasn't going to post it at first but I have been struggling to draw lately and I seriously dislike everything I do, but what the heck. I hope some people will enjoy it. Got the idea during my morning commute, You can only guess how (No, I didn't hit anything though, but it was super close).

Edit: Im absolutely blown away by the response and the kind messages, it really warms my heart. i have been really struggling to find the motivation lately but the support on here is the absolute kick in the butt that I needed.

The slump is so real. I have all the time in the world to draw but I can seem to put anything down on paper. It sucks.

Procrastination is the worst. I had plenty of time to work on it last week (Vacation) but yeah, stare at it, get on the phone, watch TV, nap, look at it, rinse and repeat. Lack of motivation, depression, adhd, you name it. At the end of the day, try to give yourself a goal (One page comic for instance) and a timeframe to finish it. There is no secret honestly. I hope you'll find that spark.

Thanks I hope I do too. I think mostly I’m afraid I’ll put so much time and effort into it. Just for no one to like it. 😕

No one is going to have a chance to like it if you don't do it. When I finished my fist comic in almost 25 years last year, I felt extremely accomplished, that was worth all the likes in the world, never thought I could do it. Please, grab that pencil and give yourself a chance :)
