Slacking off a bit…
No finished work yet and I’m kind of in a rough spot because I struggle with ADHD. The idea of just doing something even if I love it is just hard. But hey, I made an attempt even if my brain refuses to let me give it my all. Anyone know how to get over the guilt of not being productive? 😂

one of the things that's helped me most in ratcheting down the drive to be productive all the time is reminding myself that rest is part of the process. If I start feeling bad for taking time to recharge I just have to mentally realign to remember that this could be considered part of the to-do list. You need rest and recuperation to be your most productive. ESPECIALLY for creative stuff, you need to take art in, in addition to bringing it out. you can't pour from an empty cup type vibes. so taking the time to kick back and read a book or watch a show can be part of the process, yknow? being inspired by other artists can help brew the tea, to stretch a metaphor way beyond its bounds.

An April of Archetypes: 💕❤️'The Lover'❤️💕
To kick off the list of the 12 most common archetypes, I'm starting with 'The Lover.' The quick description is: A 'romantic' lead who is guided by their heart. Strengths - humanism, passion and conviction Weaknesses - naïvety, irrational (emotional decision making) Now, I know it's easy to immediately think of a romantic lead and while that would definitely fit the bill for a 'Lover' character or characters, it's doesn't always have to only take place in the midst of a romantic story. The lover is all about being an emotional center. Whether they are the emotional guide for the story, or just a trusted loyal companion to another protagonist, this archetype (like many) is versatile in how you want to define 'romantic.' Some examples of characters that fit the 'Lover' archetype: Romeo and Juliet (Romeo and Juliet) Wesley and Buttercup (The Princess Bride) Princess Anna (Frozen) Jack and Rose (Titanic) Jay Gatsby (The Great Gatsby) Timone and Pumba (The Lion King) Samwise Gamgee (Lord of the Rings Trilogy) As you can see, there is a pretty good amount of variety in those characters, but a commonality between them all is they all have a desire to create relationships and will help evoke feelings in your audience as well! Now I want to hear from you about your thoughts on the 'Lover' archetype, and better yet, I want to see your drawings! Stay tuned for 'The Lover Archetype' video where I'll talk even more about our first archetype of the challenge!

Bow from She-ra, Katara in Avatar, Ochako in My Hero Academia, Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean, arguably Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones. I like the acknowledgement this doesn't have to be a romantic lead bc a lot of the most interesting examples of this one really aren't that, or if they are it's only a small facet of their character!
