Heyo! I like drawing so I'll post art here sometimes.

I love drawing and want to pursue animation and cartooning when I grow up. I used to draw almost everyday, but for the last 3 weeks I have'nt felt motivated at all to draw and I don't know why? Has anything similar ever happened to you? Have I lost my passion, or is this just an art block? What can I do to regain my motivation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long ask, and thx in advanced if you do respond.

Oh yeah, this happens to me literally constantly. You haven’t lost inspiration, don’t worry! You see, there’s this flow that many artists (including me) end up getting caught in. It has ups and downs, and what’s most likely happening now, is you’re in the downward wave (AKA burnout or Artblock). It can be really discouraging, but one thing I’ve discovered over time is that simply relaxing and not drawing is just as good for you as drawing. Your brain may just need a break, so don’t feel ashamed! Another thing I like to do is study on the places I have trouble on during these little ruts, so I can experiment a bit. Cutting out social media is also a good method, as it kinda removes the little points of comparison to all other artworks out there. 

All in all, rest solves everything, and there’s no need to worry! There’s artists all over the planet that have your back!

Heya! I really like Bianca and Loki's relationship (and i love how Loki tries to do cartoon stuff into the real world and being affected by the cruel reality). And idk generally enjoy the way you write platonic relationships and makes me wonder if you would include romantic relationships in your comic, im very curious of how you write love. Not sure if you will see this or answer it but if you do keep the good work and never stop, wish you the best Pan Dulce.

Romance wasn’t something I really planned in the comic. Maybe Stephany will score

Or maybe Bianca will lust after another girl who has an obscure cartoon tshirt. Like a Ruby Gloom shirt

I'm beginning to think Bianca is your self insert.
