Heya folks, Kanuto here!

So, as some of you might remember, I once said something about uploading scraps etc. and... well... by now it's obvious that it didn't worked. ｡ﾟ･ (>﹏<) ･ﾟ｡

The reason for that failure was that my depression overwhelmed me and pretty much cause any motivation to draw etc. to fall into nothingness.
I could now talk about what caused this etc. but... I bet you wanna hear the bright stuff instead of the dark ones so here we go! (⌒▽⌒)♡

Thanks to a good friend of mine, a therapist and a lot of time thinking about my problem, I realized that I compleatly forgot to value my own efforts which unsurprisingly caused me to lose my motivation (because why the hell would you do stuff if it doesn't feel rewarding in any way, but more like a punishment!).

Now, after starting to value my efforts, I feel much more motivated again and I finally start to recover my passion which I had lost for a while.
Of course will take some time until I fully recovered but I can give you my word on it, I am recovering! (⌒ω⌒)ﾉ

- To person STD:
I still owe you a drawing from our AT and by golly you will get it! ＼(≧▽≦)／
Sorry again for the wait you had to go through. (〒﹏〒)

To anyone else:
I won't make any promises here since stuff is still volatile so... all I can say is that I'll give my best at recovering. 
For the rest... let it be in the cards what the future has to offer!

And... that's the end of this status update. 

Thanks for reading! ☆⌒(≧▽​° )

Just as the title might hint, I'm changing my posting-habit by considering to post my practice and other works in the near future.
I'll be uploading them into my gallery and scraps-folder so check them out regularly if you're interested!
And for those interested in the reason why I'm doing this... read the text below.



The reason why I'm considering this is because my skills don't seem to improve at the speed I expected them to be, causing my account to look rather empty and almost dead. 
Although I practice a lot, the quality I'm currently capable of drawing doesn't quite match my expectations, causing most of my drawings to not be uploaded.
So... in order to counter my "post only the good stuff"-pressure, I'll be uploading my practices and the "below expectations" drawings as well, hoping that it'll increase my fun at drawing (by decreasing the quality-pressure) and... who knows, maybe having a more positive attitude will help me at improving or being creative.


Thanks for reading !
And a thank you in advance to all those interested in looking what those other drawings/practices might look like.

If you want to tell me your thoughts about it, please feel free to comment below.
I'll be highly interested in reading your comment :3

Yay! Motivation is rising up somewhat aaaaaand I got a lot of helpful tips and trick to read about how to improve at drawing etc.

And now, it's time to turn the theory into reality!
Basically I'm going to practice drawing now somewhat more serious yet still ensure myself that I keep the fun at it.

Something which I found really helpful is this here:  10 ways to become more productiveDear, deviantart fellow artists
It's difficult to feel motivated and stay focused on our goals all the time. But how to achieve what we want, how to not let procrastination stand in our way?
Here are some of my thoughts about the topic and I hope that they might be helpful.   
1. Set goals
Think about your ultimate goal - what is that matters to you the most, what would make you incredibly happy and excited. Write that down and work your way through to it. It will be the reason, the reminder for you to look forward in those times, when you'll feel less motivated. 
Try to write also weekly, monthly and yearly goals - be reasonable and realistic regarding that, but don't be afraid of challenges. They have to be S.M.A.R.T. - Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely. 
2. Plan tasks in previous day
Make a l

So yeah, I give it a try and see it optimistic because there's no constructive reason not to do it ^^
