Fashion Side Profile | 2017 Original Watercolor Painting

Story. In June of 2017, I was at one of my lowest points. My job drained me of the rest of my self-esteem. And a year after my dad passed, I was still grieving the loss. But I was determined to build my YouTube channel by posting thrift flipped wedding dresses. I wanted to leave my job, hoping I'd fall back on YouTube, but it wasn't working.

You see, I thought I was destined to be a fashion designer. I made my wedding dress, loved drawing these perfect outfits, and thoroughly enjoyed turning them into a reality. But I didn't love sewing. And when you don't love the process, it becomes difficult to maintain.

This illustration is my final fashion sketch. At this point, I've lost the spark that maybe wasn't really there. And it was the moment I had to figure out, "where do I go next?"
