Welcome to another Sunday Sessions!
Today's piece is inspired by the amazing community I am thankful everyday to be apart of - #dtubedaily.
There was a lot of firsts for me working with this piece and I will admit it was incredibly challenging and frustrating. I think the frustration came from the anxiety I was already feeling and this huge pressure to perform.
Like most pieces, I start conceptualising in my sketch book. I honestly never draw males and with the tests sketches and the final pieces I ended up drawing 42 male faces! Not only was I nervous about executing the faces, but I ended being a lot happier with some of the first sketches then I was with the end faces. Not to worry! Practice makes perfect.
Towards the end I realised I didn't leave enough space for myself and I was pretty dissatisfied by how my character turned out considering I've drawn it a few times before. I started losing energy and my motivation dropped and the linger thought of failure picked at my brain but I didn't let myself stop. Regardless of how I felt, the want to finish it for what it meant to me was stronger than any doubt.
I originally had plans to add watercolour to the faces but once the sketching and inking was done, I was exhausted (5 hours later!) I might consider painting it at some point in the future.

Overall, I'm happy with how it came out. I was able to challenge my skills and my mental ability to persevere through something even though I had so much doubt.
I hope you enjoy!
Biggest love to you.

OMG @neeqi, this is amazing! This is the family! They are so great and you can really see everyone. Damn you have some serious talent Sarah. I love these art videos. I want a copy of that to put on the wall in my man cave so bad haha!!!! Mega love to you Sarah!
Thank you! @slayerkm. I can't stop smiling, I feel like a giddy school kid! Creating things like this are really personal to me sometimes and I have such high expectations of myself and how it will be received. But I'm glad that you like it. It seriously makes me very happy. And I can definitely organise a copy for you if you'd like. 😊💗
I was waiting for this upload all day, I just had a feeling it was going to be fantastic... and of course it is! I love how you drew everyone, great caricatures!
@maneki-neko I was honestly so nervous to upload this. The intention to do this has been there for a while but I had a lot of doubt that I could do it. But I always like creating art for those I care about because it's one of my rawest expressions. I'm glad you like it!
I love this great post, please continue your good work
Thanks!
WOW @neeqi this is absolutely beautiful! You have drawn all of us so well that I might have guessed most of the guys even without their nickname! This one made my day. May I ask you if you would be so kind to scan this and send it to me? Would love to hang it up somewhere in my office. We love you as well :)
@liveyourdream! Thank you! It was so challenging, I've never drawn beards before haha. I'm so glad to hear this made your day. I would happily organise a copy for you. 😊💛
Thank you :)
WOW!!!! THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH NEEQI!!! You can't imagine how happy I am for you, honestly!! This is what I would like to see for everyone in our group...it means so much to me and besides...you deserve it!

I couldn't leave out the eye @captainbob!! 💜
Have a good day...
I hope you have a good day too.
I also struggled with anxious thoughts many years ago. I have one thought that neutralizes them now. And it's this, "everything always works out in the end and I don't need to know what means it will take to get me there." I know it might not work for everyone because I have feeling associated with that though but it works like a charm for me.
It's always really great to know what works for you when you are experiencing anxiety. We all have different triggers and different remedies, and its a humanising thing to know that you're not the only one who experiences it. Sometimes I can get so caught up in it but it feels nice to share with others because it helps me work through the feelings. Thanks for sharing. 😊
OMG. THIS IS SO GOOD!
Thank you!! @harshilpatel 💛
You inspire me @neeqi
Thank you, @adetorrent! You guys all inspire me with your love and support.
Wow @neeqi, doing sneaky sketches while everybody is working. Beautiful and great post! Thank you for your inspiration!
Thank you! I feel too much love and support from you guys, I just wanted to share my appreciation for it. 😊
Great caricatures!
Thanks!
ohhhh my gosh.... This is so cute :D I Love it so much.
You were actually able to make me look good! ehehehhe for the first time in forever ehehehe
I am sorry to hear about the anxiety and I really hope that the drawing session have helped You to beat it.
I have no words for this. It is just perfect.
Thank You so much. :D
Drawing and creating definitely help with the anxiety. I have gotten much better over the years with managing it. I am glad you enjoy it! I actually had so much fun drawing you, so much sass! I always love it!
Eheheheh well I still think I am not a sassy person. I have adopted that brand because every single job I had I've got people commenting on how sassy I am... so I have decided to embrace it.... even if I dont agree lol
Awe, well I would like to experience the Sergio that you feel most comfortable as!
ohhhh You do that every single time in my videos and comments. Cause no matter what I am always me... I cant be other way... It is a Curse I have to live with LOL but also a blessing that I am always true to myself :P
Tienes mucho talento, tus dibujos son fantasticos, felicidades, te deseo mucho éxito en todo lo que te propongas, Dios te bendiga!
Muchas gracis!!
HOLA MEENCANTAN TODAS TUS CARICATURAS SON GENIALES
Muchas gracis! 😊

This is the most amazing video I have seen so far! I meen just watching it felt so...so... you know that feeling when you miss your family and you think about nice stuff about them and you just smile? Well you just made my day and I want to thank you so so much for making this. I love it!
@minigunner. I love that this video was able to create that feeling for you because honestly all you guys feel so much like family too me. It's very special. Thank you!
Wow!
Another amazing video @neeqi you really have a lot of potential 😍
Keep going because the community will always support you ☺️
Thank you so much @baschau!
Thanks for being so honest about your anxiety, I also experience this. It's a bit of a double edged sword because social media is so beneficial to artists to get the work seen, but that leaves us with an immense pressure to perform and to constantly be doing good work. Take care of yourself :)
I totally agree, I honestly feel a little more anxious on other social medias like instagram and facebook. But the platform here has such encouraging and supportive people that it allows me to work through those fears in a safe space. Thank you for your thoughts. It means so much. 💛
Hey @neeqi - @paps was telling me that I should sing an Alt-J song when I go live / do you have any recommendations for suitable tunes?
Any recommendations for an alt-j song or just in general??
Either and both!
Wow very beautiful I liked it
Thank you!
