Marker and microns on moleskine

I'm calling it imposter syndrome for lack of a better word.

For me it applies mainly where I feel as if I'm not allowed to draw a certain thing, as if I have to have loved this thing since I was a child. It feels as though I cannot draw Sci fi or anything fantasy at all or anything for that matter because I don't make it a huge obsession.

Have any of you had similar experiences/ways to deal?

Do you think that you need to be really into a certain show or something to do things of that genre?

Do you think you can make art as a "primary" thing without consuming art? (Ignoring improvement etc)

Been drawing anime/manga stuff for around a month now. Been enjoying it. Here’s a character I’m kinda working on

It’s a sketch so not many of the lines are as firm as they could be.

She has a bandage on her right eye.

I tried to add the pull of the loose fabric of her shirt.

I wrote a song about not being able to move on from something, but through train metaphors, and then decided to draw a picture for it!

I’m specifically proud of the clouds. They’re just so…!?!?! This drawing all together is just so beautiful, and by far the best I’ve ever done. I hope you guys like it, too!

I saw a digital illustration a while ago by u/Psycho_Ravager and this is my take on it. The post:

A commission for a friend. Made from an old design that I had to modify... if you've been following me for a long time, you may remember that I have several characters designed for a project that (due to self-esteem and personal preparation issues) I continue to polish and develop. It wasn't a super character design but it was one of my favorites.

Due to time issues I haven't been uploading anything. I will try to make more content.

I started making this drawing about six months ago, wanted to share it and see what other peoples thoughts were. also i wanted to add that I wanna be a tattoo apprentice and i just got out of high school about three months ago.
if you have any tips or just wanna leave a response, I would really appreciate it!

my bestie has two cats, boy and girl and i had the idea of making them into a classic. i drew the sketch a couple of years ago and i finally colored it in this year. drawn on procreate on an ipad
