Here's Delia the Manatee mermaid! Thanks for joining me for MerMay, and to everyone who was concerned about my disappearance, thank you so much for the kind thoughts and concern! Sucks that I didn't get to finish MerMay but this little world of mine will still be pieced together behind the scenes. Also follow me on Instagram at Lela.The.Artist if you're interested in more random updates on my MerMay series!

She’s provided an update on her tiktok for anyone curious, her father was diagnosed with cancer and has been receiving treatment, it sounds like he’s responding well, but Lela just hasn’t had time or energy to draw. She’s aiming for mid October to hopefully return❤

[Bugdoesart]

It’s totally okay!! I know what it’s like to finally burnout after working on multiple projects for so long, take breaks when you need them, Lela!<3

[UltimaThe-mzih]

I just saw another comment saying this so I’ll say it too to spread the message: Lela is okay, she’s updated us on her TikTok saying that her father was diagnosed with cancer and she has been feeling unmotivated to draw, she’s aiming to come back mid October

Art block is common in many artists. It’s understandable if you want to take a break. To any artist out there reading this, don’t be upset if burnout occurs, it’s just your mind telling you that you need to take a break!

“Art block lasts a couple of weeks!”
ITS BEEN A COUPLE OF MONTHS 😭😭😭

[Archiniax]

We all get burnt out. It’s okay to take breaks, and we’ll always be here to support you. Hope you’re doing okay!

[Woogie]

I have a channel myself where I do drawings and stuff, and I had this one art block that went on for months. Now that I saw this, I realized that it was a pretty normal thing for artists. The drawing of yours is amazing!✨❤️

[Volgotha]

[AllyEmenaker]

I’m glad you’re back when I get art block I just stop doing art and go hiking or walk outside for awhile then my mind goes back to it’s artsy ways

[axolotdraws]

A few weeks ago I had terrible art block. I wanted to draw desperately, but to me everything I drew sucked or wasn’t right. So, I pulled out my sketchbook and decided to try and draw something I never usually draw, in a style I’ve only ever used for school. So I started drawing a bunch of random animals, as quickly and realistically as I could, drawing anything that came to mind. And to some extent, it worked. I was able to draw people more easily once again, which transitioned me back into making stuff I actually like

[CalypsoAteWorms]

What I normally do to get out of an art block is to watch compilations of your hobbies! Always gives you ideas.

[Insomnia]

take as long as you’d like Lela! and I wish you and your father well.

[Willow-qe]

hope your doing ok. Take as much time as you need to recover and take care of yourself :)

[Sur-razz]
