When you struggle with the digital artist struggle as old as time:

You have been doing a lineart on the wrong layer for 6 minutes straight...and the autosafe you set in order to no loose progress when there is a problem, prevents you from rescuing the background layer you just destroyed with scribbling lines on it and you now can redow both.

You have to love it or you just hate it.

What's the hardest thing about marketing?
#ScribesAndMakers 2025-08-05

Fighting imposter syndrome + being confident in my work so that i can proudly tell others to actually pay me hard their earned money for my works/labor and maybe spread the word how they liked it.

My fear of having done bad writing or ugly and inskillful art is the main reason i avoid to promote my books and illustrations.

I don't mind the effort itself..., i am just to insecure.

Da habe ich doch total verpennt, für die #krönchenConvention in Siegen zu er-und bestellen für den Fall, dass ich doch ernsthaft meinen Arsch zu Promo und oder Kommunikation bewegt kriege.

Da hab ich doch glatt noch mal kurz Canva installiert ( ja, ich weiß...seufz), und tumindest ne digitale Visitenkarte gebastelt, die jemand bei Interesse abfotografieren kann.

I feel that i need to re-alive my art skills.
Depression and other medical issues had me in a hole of passiveness for way too long!
The thing is: after not doing jack shit for so many months, nearly a year, i might have lost the progress i had once made.

It will ge difficuld not to be discouraged by the first steps back into the game again.

This is going to be a hard and long ugly phase...sigh

I’m letting go of a 20+ yr old adhd project. only remembering it when I see each clean cycle…

now to do that to the other hundred that are laying about.

I cannot draw fucking hands without a reference of my own if my life depends on it.
Everyday i am more certain, that hands were just invented by evolution to specifically hound me.
It is not that i do not practice or know the models and help lines. I can do the skeleton, but the moment i draw the actual flesh..it is over.

I was struggling so much...i drew 6 Fingers LMAO-no wonder it looked strange. But my brain: "hmmm. what could it be?"

Auch wenn der ganze Datenkram und Bankkram direkt mit meinem Schreiben und der Kunst im Zuammenhang steht, so sollte ich doch heute auch noch mal was kreatives beitragen zur TL (wenn mich nicht schon alle für heute stummgeschaltet haben LOL-es sei ihnen verziehen😅 )

Ich will gern was zeichnen und mit Wasserfarben bemalen. Helft mir mal:
