Nabs-draws - Art By Nabs

Forgive me Square Enix for may I have sinned....

I fell down a FF7 rabbithole and after the hugging scene and well....I guess my Hand slipped. I was too embarassed to finish this drawing but I am very proud of how the Sketch turned out...lol.

La cocaina no es buene para su salud

"Like a drug which is hard to put down, we drown our misery in metrics. We want to be seen and hide our pain behind a fake smile and a plastic world. A few likes to clench our thirst for attention. A few likes in order to remind us that we are actually worth something. We are observing the world through a square device while we slowly forget how to think, how to feel. How to be human. We are living in an attention economy and social media is addictive by design. "

I know it's kinda ironic to vent about the "attention economy" while contributing to it at the same time but I just needed to get this off my chest. Maybe I'm getting old.

When I was still in school, I struggled a lot with Tiredness. So much so that I had a hard time staying awake during class. I tried multiple methods of drinking strong coffee in the morning. Listening to the heaviest metal songs I had while being on my way too school. Poking my legs with a pen during class. But I couldn't help myself and usually fell asleep. It got better as I grew older but I still wonder where this tiredness came from.

However. This random memory inspired me to draw this image. A guy taking a nap in class. I wonder what he is dreaming about...

I gonna call this artwork "Falling"

It was originally supposed to be a study of an image I found on Pinterest, much like my last work. But then i got inspired and wanted to experiment with minimalsm. I was also very inspired by a piece in Pascal Campions Artbook.

Also, the longer I look at this image, the more I realized that the angel looks like Wally from "Where is Wally"... Probably the easiest "where's wally" image in history, lol

A little bit of Brainvomit, just to get it out of my system:

The last few days I struggled a bit to work on my projects. It's not that the projects itself are hard but I struggle to maintain focus. Whenever I start an Illustration or a new project, my mind is filled with following thoughts "Is this really good enough for the Portfolio?" "You really want to draw that Fanart? Do you really want to neglect your portfolio like that?" "The project you work on right now is actually kinda stupid, are you really sure people want to hire you for that?" and all those negative thoughts that kind of hinder me of making art at my full potential. It's a on/off struggle that I have for a year now and which is a little hard to overcome on my own. Which is why a lot of my projects are very slow...I make little babysteps into reworking my Portfolio but usually end up having an "Analysis paralysis" about projects. And for some reason I have a huge fear of following my heart... I think in the end it's just a little bit of fear for the future. A little bit of uncertainty and maybe it's time to take a short break where I allow myself to draw for fun and figure out what I actually want. If Visdev truely is the field I want to work in , or if BG paint is more my thing. Or maybe even Illustration? Or maybe Everything all at once? We'll see. Maybe it's just a summer rot. Anyways. Here are some rough doodles from this week!

Some Sketchbook shenanigans!

Thank you for all the kind messages that I received for my last Beyblade post. :) I was a little surprised that the Fandom is still very active.

Also, these are some Sketches from the weekend. I must admit that it's hard to stop drawing the BBA team. I also want to turn Kais sketch into a full painting one day. But I also need to do stuff for my portfolio... Can someone please give me some time q_q ?

(and yes, there is also Aloy on the page, as I also enjoy Horizon Zero Dawn lmao)
