Same! But personal growth is wonderful so pro-class-tinating isn’t the worst thing we can do! 💖✨

I suffer from all of them at different times! I’m thinking about removing myself from see anyone’s art for a few days and see what I create... that means no social media!

Martine, I think that’s an excellent plan! 👏😄 That’s exactly what helps me when I fell less positive about my practice. Let me know how it works for you!

OMG I had to laugh SO HARD at these!!! So funny! PRO-Class-tinating is genius, and yes totally guilty!!!! I am yet to watch some classes I bought 2 years ago, so I am not a strict ban!!!

Love your categories of procrastination! 🙋🏻‍♀️Guilty of the occasional pro-class-tinating over here!

Guilty of almost everything you mention haha:) Although we don't have Trader Joe's in The Netherlands. Love your sketchbook page with the cat by the way, and saw you cuddling with your own lovely cat on the Zoom session as well 🥰

Thank you, Heather! Pro-Class-tinating is really the best way because at least it helps us learn and stay open-minded! Off I go to workout-crastinate! 💪😸

I also buy-crastinate, e.g. "I need water-soluble graphite pencils and can't continue until I have them!" (The list of procrastination techniques is truly endless.)

My pleasure! That beautiful 2-letter word still terrifies me. I'm working on something today because I didn't say NO! I need the practice!

A fellow pro-CLASS-tinator and dough-castinator here. But usually I’m not worrying about what others think of my art, it’s just I keep such high expectations from my self, I worry about not liking my own work. It’s a crazy place in my head here 😅

I’m definitely guilty of this! I feel like I do so much but never get anywhere, I guess I’m just doing a bunch of thinking and not actually making 🤣 By the way, I absolutely LOVE the illustrations in this post Beth☺️
