Tonkable-art - Kat Pickford

I’m feeling burn out pretty bad recently from putting a lot of pressure on myself, but also I'm working on long projects right now so I'm going to take some time to chill out on my free time and maybe see to rebranding and figuring out what I want to do with my social media.

I’m not leaving social media, there will be just less of me until I figure things out. I want to start streaming again and maybe looking into actually making stuff for my Youtube channel (because why not). Twitter is an unstable environment at the moment, but I’m not leaving it until I absolutely have to because I really enjoy the posting format (though I cry for the lack of a gallery). Instagram’s not all that great with their whacky algorithms and I feel like Tumblr is more of a space for fanart to thrive, rather than original.

Either way, I just want to link some bits if people would like to follow me elsewhere like Instagram, Twitch and Ko-Fi, but I’m looking into other stuff too. Maybe I’ll revive my tiktok account for funsies and see where it gets me hahaha!

Peace out, homies ✌️

I'm reading The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri and I'm OBSESSED so here's a little sketch of the Hirana.

I have some goals I want to hit this new year with my art. I’ve felt burnt out since I finished my masters in 2021 and I’ve been really trying to break out of it and I feel like I’m getting to a good place now.

I’m strictly not going to be posting WIPs unless it’s the odd instagram story photo. I feel as though allowing myself to do that has been stopping me from actually finishing things properly, hence why a lot of what I’ve made last year has been sketchy and sketchbook work. I know I’m capable of more polished work but I’m stopping myself from getting there by giving myself the instant gratification of people seeing my WIP posts. I’ve been testing this recently by keeping a lot of my works away from the internet and my craving to be on social media has gone down (healthy!!!), granted this would mean I’m less active overall (more healthy!!!!).

I just want to explore myself this year and find an adventure or two to go on, but mostly work on my career and find what I really want/enjoy doing. I feel as though I want to be able to do everything and it’s draining me. Despite always wanting to go into storyboarding and character design, I’ve found that I’ve barely worked on both areas because of my overwhelming desire to be good at everything. So my big single goal is to focus on one area for a while and then see where it might lead me.

I can’t wait to get started on my plans for 2023 and I hope you guys enjoy what I put out in the future!✨

Excited to say this piece will be featured in the next @belovedzine !! The theme was renewal and I want to show the importance of how a partner can help in self-acceptance and help you both thrive.

Honestly, tumblr feels like it's going through a renaissance and I'm here for it :)

This painting’s been in the works for 2-3 years, mostly because I was intimidated by it, but I’m glad it’s done now.
