very late 2023 is when i decided to pick up art again as a hobby. i have struggled a lot over the years since i began drawing at 14 years old with perfectionism and comparison, which subsequently led to a lot of periods of burn-out. even now, in late 2024, a year after i've done the pieces you see below, i struggle with the same things. not good enough, not create enough, not refined enough. in certain contexts, this kind of mindset is alright because i'm always analyzing what and where i can improve. i always come back to art for a reason, and it's because i love it, as much as i think i hate it sometimes. however, i am my biggest critic, my worst bully — point out something you don't like about my art and i'd agree with you. it can be dibilitating at times. a lot of stuff i made since i was 14 is either lost to time because of corrupted hard drives, or deliberately destroyed because of embarassment. these are the only things i could find from 2023.
