Well.. I thoroughly enjoyed this! I related to so many things.. I have noticed the style mimicking problem on social media, and maybe it's one reason I HATE trends, but then, I have to try so hard to steer away from copying straight from reality since that is how I originally learned to draw. I have to avoid references as much as I can or I won't get an illustration! I'll get a realistic copy. I also decided that I like outlines, and that's my thing, and it's okay. I like the term "voice" instead of style.. okay that was long-winded, but wanted you to know that your time and thoughts were very much appreciated!!

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! I'm feeling excited to make more. :) Phew...sometimes I just have to not look at art online for a few days...especially if I'm trying to start something new. I just can't get the trends and styles I see so often out of my head. It's hard. Yay! Outlines! I tried to push them away but they were waiting on me to say "sorry" and invite them back. haha

I have started on a list of what Iike about my process and my drawings. And I have started a journal so I can write down when some good observation happens so I don't forget and to see how I'm enjoying the process and if not what can I change. I never really approached it this way. I have intentionally stopped looking at other peoples current work because I cought myself thinking 'how would that amazing artist do it' and that is not the way I want to be creating. Looking forward to your next episode and thank you for making such wonderful content
