I used to really like coloring and thought lineart was boring and tedious, but now it's the opposite. Lineart is calming and coloring gives me anxiety. I'm not sure when this shift happened but I know why.
When I first got a tablet and started coloring more I thought I was really good at it. I guess one day I realized I wasn't and that I needed a lot of improvement. Now I'll stare at clean lines for way too long trying to convince myself to color it.
When I finally start, I spend even more time overthinking the color palette. I guess it's not necessarily a bad thing. Taking time to experiment with color so I understand what works best is only going to help me improve. But I just hate feeling so damn slow.
Anyway, art is hard and I just want to complain about it. I finished the lines for one picture and instead of coloring it I started the lines for a different picture. 🙃
