Nick Theunis - Art Journey

[Niqeth]

Hello Everyone

Im Nick from Belgium. I getting back into art after an intense burnout i think. I havent felt passionate/motiviated in art for more than a year after failing my mayor in Game Design. I have some drawing experience but i try to teach it myself but couldnt always find the right resources. In the Game Design school i went to i wasnt properly guided by my peers to help me in my art and i hope i can find it here in this Art School.

Im a big geek and like to know about different fandoms but the big ones in my life are One Piece/ Pokemon/ Kingdom Hearts/ League of Legends/ Dungeons and Dragons. I like different kind of settings but im a sucker for like the epic and cool shots in shows.

My dream is to become a character designer freelance or in a good company where i could feel at home. Here are some of my recent art works i did before burning out to have a start on my progress.

--UPDATE POST--

Hello everyone. It has been a while since i posted it. Iwas really enthousiastic when i started with buying the courses and ready to dive in , i felt the anxiety kicking in and dropped it once again. Im trying to get over an art burn out after i failed my mayor. I picked up other courses or other interests in the meantime but nothing that quite sticked. I kinda feel lost in the art world because i want to do it all but i dont have the time.

With this post, im setting my first small step again in overcoming my perfectionism that gave me the art burnout in the first place. I need to find the joy again in creating instead of thinking everything needs to be pefect.

Hopefully this can be helpfull to others who have the same issue and it is also to keep myself in check.

You are not alone with this feeling of anxiety. Especially at the start of every piece I wonder if I can pull it of or rather: Will I be able to create something that I am satisfied with?

I think it's a normal feeling as an artist, but acknowleding the feeling helps to overcome that fear of starting. It also helps to remember, that each and every piece is a step towards your goal of becoming better. If you see it that way, the outcome really doesn't matter that much.

Most important thing is to draw and having fun with it. Afterall you chose it as a hobby (or more) for a reason and the only way to regress is by doing nothing.

Looking forward to seeing new stuff from you =).
