I've been beating myself up a lot for not drawing enough this year, but I just took a look at my folders and it turns out I've already drawn substantially more in 2023 than any previous year of my life and we're only like 75% of the way through the year. Good to know that I'm just always going to feel this way regardless of my actual output
update: spent a huge chunk of January and February being unable to draw due to having covid, on-and-off wrist problems, and general mental bullshit, (and now just regular old burnout lol) felt really bad that I wasn't drawing, then inspected my folders and realized I was averaging like a drawing every other day, in spite of the fact that there were entire weeks that I wasn't drawing at all. For me that's, like, unprecedented productivity, and it was during a period when I was basically incapacitated for half the time. I really just can't shake these feelings no matter how hard I'm working. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm just incapable of feeling accomplishment. Might try to take the week off drawing if my brain will let me
