Vacation Over! Work Begins Again
🕑 Added 2019-04-02 00:49:38 +0000 UTCHi guys! I got back to work today, and started on the next page of Business Casual. Beforehand, I did some doodling to shake the rust off and produced this page of bods. Backs are very difficult and I still have a ways to go before I can draw them with any kind of speed.
Unfortunately even after all my time off my tension headaches have not really gone away, but I feel like they've lessened in intensity. So I'd say that the time away did, in fact, do some good for me, and it also allowed me to analyze how my work habits got me to that point in the first place. In short, I need to be kinder to myself in terms of my own perception of the quality of my work, as well as output. It's a long process of undoing certain habits I've built up, but I'll continue to work on it.
I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who stuck around while not much art was happening. I'm back at it and excited to keep on making sexy art for you!

My pleasure!

Can always practice to make better willies!
Meesh
Thank you so much for saying so. Being kinder to myself is a skill that is going to take a long time to hone! But as I do so, I never wanna stop making content :)
Richard Awesome
This is a really cool page! I love seeing how you study. Thanks for feeling comfortable enough to share!
Nixen
I see all deez boobs and butts but no willies >:c lol, I actually really like the anatomy drawings here!
Every great artist I've ever seen has always been highly critical and never satisfied with their own work. Which is to say your damn good at what you do! Don't sweat it. We all know you work hard and care greatly about your work that's why were all here supporting you! We just also need you to take care of Meesh too! Self care is important!
Meesh
If I end up making more! I don't typically warm up too much, which might be why I feel like art takes me a while, heh...
Meesh
I am deathly afraid of not improving, which is why I push myself hard, but yes, it can be damaging. Thank you for the kind words!
Meesh
That is encouraging to hear, thank you!
Meesh
I'll keep trying! Maybe I can work out a style that allows me to maintain the schedule and also take more days off :)
Meesh
Maybe it is teeth grinding, I do have a bit of a sore jaw in the mornings... uh oh!

Always love looking at your sketches. Hope you had a great time off!
Duplicatename
I love these anatomy sketches they are great for refs, will you post more if you can?
Ponpokora
Take care of yourself dude!! Glad to hear your time off helped ya as much as it did Being self critical and wanting to look towards improving isn't necessarily a bad thing but it can be in excess. I hope you find and build habits better and less stressful for you! Always enjoy seeing your work!! On that note these sketches are AWESOME <3

I would rather see less work from you and know you were taking care of yourself. What you do is great, and you shouldnt try to burn yourself out!
Ethan Nouri
Please take care! Your health is extremely important! We understand your time needed off!

I used to get headaches all the time. Ended up being a combination of high blood pressure and nighttime teeth grinding. A nighttime retainer/bite guard helped a massive amount. May not apply in your situation but thought I'd mention it just in case.
Meesh
Workin on it! Thank you!
Meesh
Thank you, I'll keep working on healthy work habits!
Meesh
Thank you for the kind words, I'll do my best to keep in mind that it's a marathon, not a sprint :)

Take care of yourself, man!

Take your time and take care of yourself, man. I'd much rather have a slower stream of art than see you burn out. You're too goddamn good at this; seeing you burn out would be a travesty. Focus on you before you focus on us. That said, I'm really excited to see Vanessa get some lion dick. I think she'll need a nice celebration for her first day ;) The more the merrier!

Good to hear it is not as bad as before, as long as you don't overwork you will be back to the way it was before.
