Oh man, I know that feeling. I've been burnt out and super depressed for the past few months, and it SUCKS. I'm glad to help. Hit me up any time if you ever just need someone to chat with.

Another SketchCraftian banger. You're so talented, dude.

It only feels that way because I want to be better but don't really know how/can't see progress as fast as I'd ideally like. Burnout doesn't help these feelings because it's less of a call to action and more just...disappointing fuel to the fire.

Also, this has introduced me to the crazy talent in the Sonic modding community. While I did my first run-through of the classics thru Origins+, I went down a rabbit hole about the Retro Engine and found Sonic Forever, S2: Absolute, S3 AIR, and CD Restored as well as used a ton of QOL mods for SA2.

I've truly missed your presence, Sketch.

From what I've learned so far is that it is very important to trust the process, even if it's not going as fast as you feel it should. Continue to draw and push through the anxiety, and soon, you'll look back and really be able to see the difference.

I feel this a lot, and I think it's because we tend to look at our own progress and work under a microscope because our brain's are constantly "staring" at it; whereas typically you're only shown other artist's final piece, completely omitting that perspective it took to get there.

It also makes me feel like when I do slip into a flowstate, it's a fluke, and 9/10 times I sit down to draw, will I ever actually draw anything, let alone something "good". I'm genuinely curious if this plagues other artists, I swear I'm not just beating myself down for fun.

(2/2) pessimism towards games and it makes me look for the bad instead of enjoy the good first. If you saw Brothership and thought it looked cool, I highly encourage you to go play it for yourself.
