Description Remember that whole personal journey thing... I promised myself an hour of making art that I would swear to post and just be done with, with no letting myself go back if I didn't like it or left things unfinished when time was up. When I was in middle/high school I remember creating in the moment and posting right away, and moving on. Late high school to early college, I was way too perfectionist for that so I'd hold onto my art forever, tweaking and editing it to its ruin, and never posting stuff. I am saying ADIOS to this artwork for now and trying to move on to the next piece tomorrow. Perfectionism is a poison still working out of my system, grr. Posting on social media makes my head spin lately now that irl people know my Sola account especially now that all I do is draw characters from YA animal books aHA I am so going to watch my art talent burn to the ground one animal fanart piece at a time, but at least I brought marshmallows and will enjoy the show

Here's Cricket from Wings of Fire! If you like fantasy books but haven't read WoF yet, you're missing out on a treat! Here's her book coming out in DECEMBER which is so soon that I can't be any more ready for it. www.goodreads.com/book/show/39… I really love drawing her in green surroundings, I knew the official cover would have some green on it and it did! 

It is thanksgiving and I am thankful this speed paint has at least improved from its predecessor I did in August, which is obviously unfinished, but it took the same amount of time:  Success is all relative now hahaha

That’s a good idea and thought process. I too remember just making something, posting, and moving on. Wish I could think like that again! 

Anyway! I really love your colours here. So pretty! Gotta love earth tones

Oh wow, thanks Bandarai! I can't wait to see you post more of your art, so I'm glad you agree with the "post-and-move-on" philosophy Btw my notes are open to you anytime if you ever want someone to talk about art or life with I'm getting back into deviantArt so I'd love to learn more about the artists on here
