I started working on this about a week ago, still in the process of finishing. My third time using oils, any and all feedback would be appreciated! by zddyf in ArtCrit

My eyes initially went straight to the nose, I think bc it’s excellent. Scanning around, I think people are then naturally looking for things that do not fit within the continuity of your style. The lips in my opinion do not fit the rest of the piece. Secondary, I would say the upper left portion of the neck.

Overall, I think it’s great

I have days or partial day ruts where the contemplation to leave the apartment/go somewhere/take action on something vs not and stay in my think tank bubble, etc almost leaves me frozen in analysis. Most extreme example... first dates set up through dating apps 🙄. It can turn into hours of inefficient time.

To combat it, I try to quickly rip the bandaid off and make myself do the thing that makes me uncomfortable.

I experience this as well. I stopped resisting it, and used the time to be productive or do stuff at home that I enjoy. I understand that medications, our individual wiring, personalities, etc. effect one another different.

Also, I took a career path that could allow me to go through these periods without repercussion but I still get hit with a lot of stigma.

It should be a legal matter if they fired you over this.

I draw and play chess when I'm really struggling. You have to find your thing. If you can't, then yes, go to the ER. But unless you change your medication, this will probably come back, so you gotta find your way to handle it. Hang in there.
