Update, thoughts, sketches! (Patreon)

So, in the process of qorking on this Lia picture, I've kind of realized a few things.
I don't actually know what about it, but I greatly dislike something in my process. I still love sketching, I've done a TON of it this year so far.. even inking, while it isn't my favourite, hasn't been too taxing on my art drive. Even flatting, same thing.
But I think as soon as I get back to the 'high rendering' phase, I suddenly drop, and I think it's because I've been mentally preparing for the comic, in which I know won't be inked or high rendered. I'm not sure. I wish i could paint like some artists, and maybe I could, but i feel it'd take me so long to learn that I could get numerous other ideas down in sketch/flat form.
In my head i try to tick too many boxes in too short of a time span. Maybe the voting is doing more harm than good, or maybe I worry about trying to make sexy work in the same piece as the clean stuff and it's suffering. Not sure.
Anyway, not really complaining, just thinking out loud to you all, since you support me. it's important to be clear where my head is given that it affect direction and content. Hearing back from you all is usually a great help as to where to direct my energies and where it might be struggling from a different POV.
