Apothecary

I'm thinking of slowing down on posts. Though it has been a good challenge for myself to create so much, on the different platforms I'm on it hasn't really paid off. I also sense I'm also making too many compromises, like creating single character drawings instead of illustrations with multiple characters which I'd enjoy more.

the most important thing here is you man, if you feel like this daily thingis not working out smoothly then you should stop and try new things

Zoukeau responds:

Thank you. I'm spending this week to give it some thought but I hope to post again next week!

Hey, bud! I think that if you're noy enjoying it anymore, then you should reassess the situation and try to do the type of pieces that you'd prefer. Having a good level of production is good, obviously, and it helps to make you better known. But you should also bear in mind that a few mind-blowingly good pieces might also work just as well. At least, right now, it seems that you feel that you should slow down a bit, so I'd follow your instincts. Maybe at some later point you can begin another creative spree.

Zoukeau responds:

What you said about making just a few great pieces is definitely interesting, and it has crossed my mind. I've noticed that approach with a specific artist and it seemed like it was working wonders for him/her.

If you feel it's best to slow down, go with your gut. Art is about expression, not the approval of others. That being said, as far as platforms go, I do have a bias towards this one, but again, go with your gut.

For what it's worth, love your work.

Zoukeau responds:

Thank you for your comment. I know you mean well but I do have to think about it a bit.

I can tell you that if I had used approval of others as my prime motivation, I would have stopped quite some time ago. Now, however, I do hope to make a living of what I create so it's not something that I can simply put aside. That said, I think/hope that this idea of expression and the idea of approval can be allied.

Thanks again!

Nice! Really good work with the ink style, especially in the shading. You really nailed it without even having to use that many colors.
