That's a good way to look at it. I just think of it more as I don't have a consistent style oops. ALSO KICK UR ZONE TO THE GROUND, mindless doodles always seems to help me. But instead of your usual pencil, try some new medium, like watercolor.
And I was hesistant about tumblr too but in lots of ways I seem to prefer ir over deviantart. Probably because most of my friends migrated there as well. Thanks so much your compliment and I wish you all the best.
