I've been having a headache that's as much nausea as head pain. Don't tell me the migraines are back. Then again dark chocolate is sometimes a headache trigger for me.
I'm having insights that are telling me I need to get good at art fundamentals but I don't have the discipline to practice. It's so boring and stressful to make yourself fail for the purpose of learning and draw incomplete imperfect things. Right now it seems to be enough of a challenge to get through each day.
so many hugs
and re art, read books, watch videos and visualise doing the art but mainly don't feel bad ๐ค๐
Second this. It's ok if you aren't up to it (it takes so much energy at that early learning and making mistakes stage). It's ok to read, tinker, just touch your art supplies to stay connected and not do anymore than that until you can
I did not know this.
