Fighting with myself while working on my inktober drawing. I’ve been coming out of a decent down spell, I think brought on from my period :/ . I want to be very negative about things I’m doing. While I was inking I kept thinking of things to say about it when I post it to social media. I can’t remember now what it was. But it was all negative. Like, this drawing is so bad and I just copied a reference. Because I did just copy a reference from the internet.

But then I had a little voice start standing up for me. It’s not that bad. This style is very much not my usual style so it’s going to feel weird and/or look bad, because it’s different. And it’s okay it’s just drawn straight from a reference, it’s practice and the main goal is to draw everyday. I am drawing.

Soon, I was actually enjoying working on the drawing. It’s not great, but I’m proud of myself for sitting down and drawing something.
