"Where Jellyfish Come From," a screenshot study of a cute and sad story
Maybe it'll leave today... no? Oh, alright then ๐ญ
Today is my birthday! (11/23) So I would like to gift you all with this announcement:
I have (finally) created my own food blog! @comfydarkeats โจ๐ฝโจ
Food and art are both things that I greatly enjoy. When I was asked what my dream career would be, I answered that I'd want to be a food illustrator.
I say "finally" because, to be honest, even though they are my passions, it took me a while to just get started. Maybe it's the fear of making mistakes, or that the results won't turn out the way I want it to. Does anyone else feel this? ๐ญ
A very wise friend told me, "Why not start with a 'bad drawing'? Why not paint a 'bad thing.' And just keep going until you finally get something good." In other words, I won't know if the piece is bad if I don't get started at ALL.
I'm also trying to apply this mindset in other aspects of my life. I admit to not accomplishing a lot of goals (let alone daily tasks) because of this fear of failure, fear of not getting it right the first try, which causes me to stop on my tracks and just be stagnant overall.
I know this is something I need to work on, but as I'm getting older, I'm learning that it's okay to make mistakes, as long as there's the eagerness and acceptance of bettering myself. I'm also trying to take in this saying, "There's no better time than the present." It's been said so many times, but I never really had that sink in until now.
Creating this blog is a small step, but it's important to me that I initiate at all instead of going, "someday." So here's to starting new things that may turn into accomplishments!
Is there something that you've been wanting or needing to do?
I paused for a bit and did that one drawing challenge going around where you draw what you're wearing at that exact moment.

Something fun, a redraw of @oddgraham's comic about feeling regret (but not really). I hope you all are well โค๏ธ
