The base picture was 5 mins or there abouts.  Have you used Procreate on an iPad?  It’s crazy good with the effects brushes, so I’m cheating. Hehe.  

You’re right though.  Writing the text, adding the little details might have taken the same amount of time if not more!  But who’s counting, it felt like 5 minutes, that’s the important thing.  It beats 10 hours of labouring every line, shifting every pixel. 

This does feel like a shit post, but need to purge, to adjust focus.  I’ve really appreciated your thoughts and the experiences you’ve shared in our recent communications.  It’s put a lot of things into perspective.   Gosh, even doing the ‘art’ helps.  It’s more an exercise in imperfection and how it doesn’t really matter.  It’s still okay to use, that someone will get some value out of it.  Similar to something you wrote, I’m being  too hard on myself.  And what for?  I doubt anyone cares, and I just need to chill more and worry less.  :)
