experiencing the weirdest post-nut-esque-clarity re: art style?

aka this style i pivoted to for the latest comic does not spark joy tonight :( 

(could be my remaining-secondary-cataracts-eye (also the primary eye) approaching the no horizon of 'how tf do i draw with this' (thankfully temporary and will be fixed next tuesday thank god), could be 'lol krad you pivoted too fast after binging pluto', or both)

i mean technically it does look better than the thin line style but it just feels so much more arduous auueueyghhhh [grumbles while crawling off to play more ff12]

I definitely struggle to balance personal tendencies and incorporating new ideas/influences in my work. It really is like learning a completely new language and vocabulary x_x

I also notice that when I start adopting and studying characteristics from other artists I enjoy that my "vision" of what is feasible expands a lot, and the results are very exciting and good-looking...but the act of drawing during that period of study is...for lack of better words, kind of also constipated? ^^;

Hoping you can find a happy medium with parts of the style that do spark joy! Urasawa's draftsmanship has a lot of great qualities to it and I can imagine that to study from it is strenuous.

loveeee how you worded it with learning a new language/vocabulary - that is EXACTLY it. or like a dialect - something that feels simultaneously somewhat learned and yet new. takes humility to grapple with the feeling when you're used to just chainsawing right through it fluently. XD

thanks for the kind words! (lol also so much to the constipatedness. XD)
