I can’t even finish the read before commenting as it had to burst out off of me :)
The thing about starting a project is an obvious struggle. I can say that. Sometimes it can get a bit tricky for me in a way. Idk if it has the same effect on you but i’ll explain it.
Starting new thing has its own excitement and has its own motivational starting boost in itself. Just for these reasons, i sometimes find myself starting new instead continuing previous ones. You can say that it’s an ADHD thing. But who isn’t ADHD these days:)
I know the read is now about that but just wanted to say that.
That’s a good point! :) I think the excitement of starting new things is tricky, and I can relate. Usually, I feel the same way whenever I dive into something I decided on in 1 or 2 minutes, or even less. A while ago, I started using a little notebook to scribble everything on my mind during those confusing moments and to list the things I was considering. It clarifies what to do and helps me keep going with the things I’ve already started instead of constantly jumping into something new. I think our minds are like oceans, full of beauty—but knowing what’s what and when to focus on each part has helped me a lot.
Thank you so much for this! I really needed it. I am working on establishing my brand as an illustrator after working in animation for nearly a decade. This is helping me feel like I can get my bearings and move forward.
I’m happy to hear it helped! Your animation experience will be invaluable on your illustrating journey. Beginnings are always the hardest, but once you start, the ball gets rolling. I wish you the best with it!
