It was going to die out one day.

It's ok. It's not a tragedy.

Whatever system you had that worked and those funner days....doesn't make the present less cruel.

was it work? was it sex? was it school? was it friends?

is she underneath the sink?

No.

Forming a cluster of 5 Miniature SuperGoddesses....

what i wouldn't give to have those simple times back again.....

before (she) was loyal to you. (she) gave you love and divine inspiration.

but then you found it elsewhere.

The good news is (she), the spark)( can return.

But you must be careful.

and just like that, the bone of winter is gone. All those tears and panic attacks... You were trying to fake it to make it that you questioned your core fundamental belief, your most sacred vow to the clandestine harpsicorde goddess of time beyond us all.

She vanished.

Yes.

just like your deal ol dad....

sometimes you gotta look at that paper, look inside yourself....and Do I even like to draw anymore?

The truth?

you got a cool phone. and an even cooler monitor. and more stuff. stuff.

I'm not preaching anti-materialism or anti-capitalism but

do you remember when you were young?

and times were hard?

We all know that guy we used to be. The guy who's crutch is his sketchbook.

his entire personality is that durr he hunches over and doodles like a weiirduh

uncool. so what did you do? you threw him to the curb.

Fall. Autumn.

There are actually infinitely many seasons.

Spring, Summer, Fall,Autumn,Fall, post-Fall, Pre-Winter, ...._____TUNDRADEATH

brrr i hate the cold. but it always pays to plan ahead.

Now summer is over. You have the mindset, the palette, next onwards to fall.

you feel frustrated because you want to GROW THE COLOR RED

you want to throw away the color ORANGE!

you think yellow is your friend, but it's really just some diagnosis you gave yourself.

Green. Bitch.

because when a NORMAL person smells cheese. they think "that's cheese."

But when an ARTIST smells cheese they think "_________anything else completely unrelated____to_cheese"

you are more or less a connoisseur of the psychosis syntastathia

>>3872561

Now then. Why am I talking about smells? Shouldn't I be drawing anime circle balls lines?

>>3872559

Smell is the most nostalgic sensory organ. Heck, all SMELL is Nostalgia.

It's a preview of what's to come. is it good ? it bad? is it tasty? is it salty? gingery? cinnamony?

Don't be ashamed.

What seperates (you) from the rest of the herd is simply a matter of smell.

What's that?

Did someone reply to my post?

Did I get more Hits?

I'm so popular!

Ruminate on that one for a bit. It has a deeper meaning than what it appears.

Next, fetch a wine glass and fill it precisely 2/3's of the way full and run your finger on the rim as it whirrs and pause and stop

Why doesn't an empty plate scare you but an empty sheet of paper does?

Next, (by the way cliches exist for a reason)

go wash some dishes.

but not just wash like eh. "

I want to to REALLY polish that baby down and carefully wipe down like a newborn babe and place the plate upright and let the light hit the plate and "ah" THAT moment.

Now that our flowery spring introduction is over.... you have the mindset down...

summer starts
starting (now)
your first anime school assignment is to put your drawing on top of your head and sit on the ground with your shinbones down flat.

(fuck that new age breathing finding your center garbage)

say aloud "You are a drawing, i am a person, if i wanted to defeat you I can just snip or tear you!"

then find a breakable pencil or pen or stick

and channel all those times you got on /ic/ and people gave you an unwelcome response.

Get angry in waves, get furious in waves.....unitl your anger is a sunflower petal in a baroquesque rococo art novaeu birdbath (whatever is your favorite aesthetic) and the day is still young.....
you still have allllll daaaayyyy tooo drawww.....

Explore your world. There is an aspect to drawing that involves no drawing.

I call it "trying to draw underwater"

when should you give it a rest? when you ask yourself, if I was on the top on twin towers when 9/11 happened, and some little girl saw doom approaching....what if 9/11 never happened anymore?

What if this isn't all a global win or lose game?

what if?

Now you've found a story. Now you've found a setting. You're writing and drawing this manga for yourself. It doesn't have to be serious all the time.

...has only one friend.

Himself or Herself.

Being a mangaka is about being in love with you. Not in a western way but more like that way when you were a kid and things didn't seem so abstract and scary money monsters stressor dreams run your life.
