Your gateway to endless inspiration
Okay I have a legitimate request for advice/help???
So yesterday I had an idea for an animation for song that's like 2 minutes 20 seconds long
Anyone who animates knows that's a relatively long animation for an amateur artist
Anyway
Yesterday I like REALLY hyperfixated on this animation
This happens to me sometimes when I'm drawing
I have an idea and I HAVE to draw it, I can't draw anything else or take breaks other than quick stops for the bathroom or to eat something
And it's usually easily manageable because the drawings only take a few hours or something
But like
Okay this was pretty intense. I spent all of yesterday pretty much animating the whole thing
A lot of it is still very sketch-like
And I want to color it
And I'm struggling. The problem is that I really want to finish this animation enough to show people/enough that I'm satisfied. I just want to be done!
But like, I'm EXHAUSTED. I didn't get much sleep for hyperfixating on this, I am actually already sick, and I'm also having really bad period cramps.
It feels like the easy answer should be just take a break, right?
WRONG.
I CANNOT sleep, I CANNOT sit still, I CANNOT function I need to work on this. Trust me, if I could sleep or work on another project I WOULD. But like I can't even focus, all I do is think about how much work I need to do and what things to fix and -oh I need to draw another frame for this one scene,,,
I would really appreciate ANY advice, ANY recommendations, PLEASE send help I'm dying here
