very much alive :D

hi all,


i know it has been quite some time since i posted anithing here so i will give you an update.

i am doing alright, holed up at home and having plenty of time to draw but scared to face a blank page.

but i set some new goals and one of them is to make mistakes on purpose and with that try to help the fear of failing to go away. also i set a goal of 15 minutes per drawing for now so i know it is almost impossible to make a "pretty" drawing and just get me to draw again. so far it has given me a lot of freedom and fun again in drawing.

i will try to check back in to tell you guys the result after some time.

for now its working great at least and i hope to be able to start posting more regularly because of it.


have a wonderful time and feel free to send me a message on how you are doing.

love,

zuleika

Hello sweet and loving people !
I am a little early, but better too early than too late in my opinion.

i wish you all the very best in this new year, may all your wishes be fullfilled and may all your dreams come true, may all the trouble pass without too much fuss and may all illness be cleared and cured.
I thank you all from the core of my soul for your support and kindness all these years. and i hope to reach new hights together from now on.

:bulletgreen: my intentions for this year :bulletgreen:
+ enjoy every minute of every day. and if something bad has happened, to not dwell on it, but live and love on.
+ give love and kindness everywhere i go.
+ love every creation i make. whether i am satisfied with a piece or not, it is progress.
+ travel a lot, and meet wonderfull new people and make beautiful memmories.

lots of love,
Zuleika ~

first journal since a year...

3 min read
hi all, long time ~

okay, so i tend to get stuck in daily life and jobs and stuff and now i have been lost for some time finding myself again and so on.
having big plans was never an issue with me, just finding my way to get to the finish seems to be a tat difficult, but not to worry, i will not give up.

so yeah going back and forth between art and other stuff to take for jobs, i have finally made up my mind and really am taking my art seriously now.
so i am not sure how steady i will be building it up and how i fare in correcting bad habits and applying healthy creative habits.
bare with me while i transition from a year long not even putting pen to paper, to well, lets start by uploading a piece weekly as a nice goal to work towards.
and have i managed to get 1 upload every week for a steady period of time and i know i can continue doing so in like forever. from there we set new goals :)
so yeah... let me ask something from you, who has been supporting me all this time and somehow still managed to stay with me.
I take full responsibility for my actions and if you like you can keep me accountable. " i think i need it , but please try to be gentle with it... i am in a process of learning to work for myself and self dicipline can be tricky at times"

however on to the good news :

:bulletgreen: in progress :bulletgreen:
:iconshorlixa: :star-half::star-empty::star-empty: = progress on sketching and bunny/dragon anatomy studies
Janny :star-empty::star-empty::star-empty: nailstudio logo + business card
oh and for those who i owe art to, if you are not on this list, please send me a message, i do finish what i start, just take friggin long to get there "sorry about that, i am fixing it"

lots of love and gratitude,

zuleika
