Last night, I went out with friends to celebrate being home. Terry gave me some advice that I really needed. He said that when he finished school, he gave himself a month to just be like, "I just finished 4 years of school. I am going to take a month off and only draw when I want to." It's hard for me to be idle...in some ways, I'm like a workaholic...but I need to RELAX and not beat myself up for needing that relaxation after this ridiculous year, the thesis, etc. A daily autobio comic might be really rough work by definition, but I shouldn't hate the way that it turns out. I need to want to be drawing it at least a little bit when I'm drawing it! I want to like it and be proud of it when I'm done.
Sidenote: CHECK OUT THIS AWESOME ILLO I GOT FROM TERRY LAST NIGHT!

Take your time, Tally. As much as we want to see your work all the time, we can be patient. The important thing is you enjoy what you do and not get burned out. You rule!
Thank you for that comment! ;__;
Yes, take your time and keep drawing fun! We all get the inevitable art slumps *IfeellatelyI'minaconstantslumpstate*, but let me tell you something: the progress you've been making is really inspiring to me! You're art keeps getting more and more beautiful~ You make me want to work harder and keep pushing my own art further! :D
Take care, Tally!! Enjoy your summer!! :D
Agreed on the whole 'inspirational' vibe going on in these comments. I can't compete visually, but I've always been inspired to make my music sound as good as you draw.
And as far as slumps go - it's natural to go through them once in a while, especially after the hard work you've been putting in with school and everything. You can either wait for the feeling to pass, or, work through it until something hits you and the feeling passes. In this case, I think everyone would suggest the former, but you do what feels right either way.
Thank you guys. You're really the best! (It makes me want to work harder to repay your patience, haha!) <3
