When it comes to posting art online I do it once in a blue moon and when the planets align, this is mainly because I get nervous that whatever I make is subpar compared to what other people post online. I know that's a dumb way of thinking and that it goes against the whole point of posting for fun but that doesn't change how I feel.

I tend to draw whenever I have free time but it's mainly just stills and side profiles of whatever creature I have in my mind and I've realised in recent years that I'm way worse at character design and other art fundamentals than I thought I was which didn't help things. Couple that with the fact that when it comes to the internet I'm a lurker through and through. It stinks cause I want to talk more about my art and art in general but the folks I know don't really know much or don't care.

But at the beginning of this year I decided that that's going to change so I'm making good on that promise four months in(better now then never) including talking about the things I like even if it's to an empty audience. I'm also going to try to seriously improve even if it's only a little bit since I have noticed that I've been stagnating for a while now.

Hopefully this motivates me to get over my posting anxiety and encourages me to draw more since it's one of the only things that I can do that I'm genuinely proud of. First step of the plan is properly decorating my profile!

P.S. Now that I think about it's kinda weird to make this my first journal post but what can you do, I already wrote the damn thing.
