"Taking a break"

Lately, due to various events that have been piling up, I've started to feel down, with almost no desire to draw. On Monday, something happened that was the final straw and basically plunged me into depression. Even so, I forced myself to finish the commissions because I hate making clients wait for their drawings.
I only finished this last drawing (the one of the rat) because I paused it when I started the commissions, and the only thing left to do was the background and the potion.
My main problem stems from my immense frustration at not being able to draw more complex poses no matter how much I practice, which has made me feel stuck, like I'm not making any progress at all. There are other problems, but this would be the one that has impacted me the most.
With this in mind, I'll go back to basics: practicing drawing intensively in the hopes of improving. If between practices I create a worthwhile sketch, I'll upload it here, but there won't be any finished drawings for a while. In the most optimistic scenario, I'll be at this for a month... if not, I don't know how long.
Thank you all so much for your support, and sorry for the long message.
Take care.

Maybe using some poseable 3D models could bring solace?

It's good to approach this with more practice, but do be kind to yourself.
Especially at the start.

No te preocupes, imagino tu frustración, pero no eres el único artista que conozco que se le complican algunas cosas. Además eh de decir que, aunque no lo creas, tus dibujos son de los mejores que veo, tanto en detalle como anatomías

Creo que… que mi consejo es que no te machaques demasiado, no es bueno que acabes exhausto de esta forma y además que podría interferir en tu progreso debido a eso

Pero hey, yo te mando ánimos y un abrazo desde aquí, España

I've always thought that your art is incredible and I really love your style and such. I can absolutely understand the frustration with drawing and trying to improve, though, especially with coming up with new and interesting poses, and then trying to put them to paper/tablet. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors and I hope you know that the art you do make is very lovely!

Hitting a wall is always the worst feeling. At least take solace in the fact that you're quite good, and better than AI. Tons of people love your work.

Deepest respect for actually caring about the craft, and not solely being in it for the cash and content to plateau. Nothing wrong with the latter, but it's still a special rarity to see "real artists" like yourself that still care about improving, even once their brand recognition is high enough to not require it.

Best of luck. Depression sucks, been there done that.
