This charcoal piece was finished a couple of months ago.
Back then I was full of excitement and thought I’d post it right away – and then it just stayed waiting.
The fire to create is so strong that sometimes it pushes me forward faster than I can stop and show what I’ve made.
But still, that pause is important.
Now, looking at it again, I see it with new eyes.
It’s beautiful to notice where there’s still room to grow – that’s what moves me forward.
I’m also learning to let go of perfectionism; even though I could keep working on pieces forever, I’m practicing releasing them.
There’s such a fine line between passion and exhaustion.
💭 Don’t be too hard on yourselves.
Joy and curiosity can take you further than chasing perfection ever will.
This piece was a big step toward the kind of images I’ve always dreamed of creating – and I’d love to see this style as tattoos in the future.
Included also the reference photo, because comparing helps me grow, and I wanted to give you that chance too. 🖤
Still a bit messy with charcoals, but this is what I’ve got right now.
At least it doesn’t look printed. Haha. 😄

Vielä vähän sotkuista hiilityötä joissain kohdissa,
m***a eteenpäin — ja tuopahan se vähän lisää aitoutta työhön 🤭😅
Tämä työ on minulle tosi merkityksellinen askel taiteilijana.
Kiitos, kun olette olleet mukana tällä matkalla 🖤
