So a huge part of why I disappeared of tumblr to get my life back together was that everything I did felt mediocre. Writing, research, drawing, music, reading, math, all the things people told me I was good at, I suddenly felt I couldn't deliver on, and the disappointment in myself was overwhelming. I went back to traditional art, which was really the only art I felt comfortable doing. And I'm rather glad with what I came up with. It looks enough like the subject that I needed to digitally darken her face to a degree she would be comfortable with my posting it. This was a few days ago, and I'm really glad I was able to work through my block before the year had ended. To all those who waited and were wonderfully patient with me, thank you.
