I'm a perfectionism and because of that I don't think I deserve to have a career in illustration (I know that's silly). I can't maintain a routine and seeing some of dreams flee away, to the point that I don't longer want to have dreams. I'm like a walking zombie trying to figure what can bring me back to life and try to make art.

What do you like to draw? And why? Let’s start there…

I struggle with competiing priorities; my demanding architecture 9 to 5, and all my other interests. I also seem to set elaborate plans up, that I then don't follow up on. I do this because of the other problem of being good at/interested in many things that I want to express at once. An example is going for a book and elaborate worldbuilding because I want to write, draw, draw backgrounds, design characters and voice narrate some of the tales.

Most my excuses and challenges branch off from this point

Is there a small version of the thing you are MOST interested in right now? Maybe create a diagram an instead of a world?

I hadn't really thought of a smaller version of any of it. Usually I would imagine small steps to do but they don't really feel as rewarding. Thanks for the suggestion

Ich liege seit 6 Wochen mit fest geschientem und hochgelegtem Bein im Bett , mein Bein braucht Ruhe damit meine Kniescheibentrümmer wieder zusammen wachsen. Bis jetzt laut heutigem Röntgenbild keine Heilungsansätze zu sehen. Morgen werde ich nach Halle zur Chiurgin gefahren hoffe, dass ich nicht noch einmal operiert werden muss. So komme ich nicht zum zeichnen.
