I was just thinking that it helps me a lot to put my thoughts into perspective when I openly talk about them, so I made this Thread where you are invited to share your struggles and fears to know you are not alone.

Right now, it's the pressure to improve and figuring out that balance where I'm learning and absorbing as much as I can, but I'm not exhausting myself or allowing my anxiety to pull me under. Does no one any good if I burn myself out before reaching 'established illustrator' :)

That's a good mindset to have! :) I'm in the camp of improving slowly but steadily over time rather than do nothing but work and ruin your body and mental health in the process.

Oh, absolutely time management, & finding time for yourself. Figuring out when to say "no" to things, and the weird unspoken societal/external pressure to constantly be creating and putting out work because you feel some sort of guilt for not having shared anything in a while

Also on the schedule. I have to put on alarms every two hours to remind myself to get up and go for a walk, stretch, do what I need for my health. Normally my anxiety is through the roof when I'm doing projects, always trying to push myself to be better, which tends to be [2]

For me it'd be confidence. I often fall down into a slump because I have low self-esteem, so keeping positive and not thinking negatively about my artwork, is a huge struggle of mine. Sometimes I'll get so caught up in negative thoughts, that I simply don't draw. When I applied-

- for art school the first time, back when I was 19 - it got so bad that I didn't touch artwork for a year and actually persued something else due to not feeling good enough. I bounced back and I'm reapplied this year, didn't get in but I'm applying again next year. -
