In The Rain (plus an update!)
Another sketch of a Vol 2 scene!
I've been trying to get myself back into the Heartstopper drawing zone! To be honest, the burnout has been more intense than it has ever been. I am exhausted and I'm feeling the pressure to make sure the final volume of Heartstopper is nothing short of excellent. But I'm trying to slowly get back into it, little by little. I know I need to trust in myself a bit more and just go for it, like I have done in previous volumes, but it's scarier this time and the pressure is so much greater. Sigh!!
I'm hoping that next week I'll be able to begin drawing pages again and will have pages to share with the full comic tier patrons again! Thank you so much for your patience everyone, I know there hasn't been a lot of Patreon content this month. I really appreciate you for sticking by me and supporting me! xxx

Lady, you better take a month long, completely work-free holiday at some point wherein you just chill and wear inconveniently large hats and drink fancy-ass cocktails out of novelty glasses. I’m stressed out just reading this. Please take care of yourself. That is what apparently literally everyone here wants from you.
I won’t be original but you shouldn’t worry Alice. Just take all the time you need. Your health is a priority. It’s hard to create under pressure. We will wait. And your redraw are beautiful. One more thing: you can definitely trust yourself, Heartstopper next volume will be nothing but amazing. I am sure of that. Your brain just need to rest a little, your talent remains, so does your heart, you put so much in your stories.
I think you heard it quite often now. But please - take your time! Take care not to overwork yourself. :) We know how much of your heart and soul goes into this story and it must be quite hard to bring all of that to an satisfying end. But you've got this! Take the time you need - we'll still be here. XD
take your time!! you deserve some healing time 🧸
Take your time, if you need longer to make something the way you want it to be, do that ☺️ We will wait as long as is needed, no pressure. Enjoy this story as much as you want us to! ❤️
Take all the time you need and take care Alice! the most important is your health 💜
Oh my gosh take your time you legend! Burnout is no joke! Luckily, you have a billion other bits and pieces of marvellous content for us to love you through! Please please look after yourself :) we will all be here in 20 years if that’s how long it takes :) you gotta look after you first ❤️
We trust you. You're a Rockstar.
Cute and take your time Alice
Charlie's hair looks amazing, God this scene in the show is going to be SO good! We can wait for content, please look after yourself first <3
Take your time!! I am so excited to see them again 🥺❤
You can do this. Your instincts have gotten you here. Take your time and trust in yourself, because we trust in you. I wouldn't want you to release any content you weren't happy with. You got this!
so so so excited
Don’t pressure yourself, whatever you come up with out of that creative mind of yours will be brilliant, some times we just need time to weave these ideas together in a way that you feel comfortable presenting.
Honestly if you took a year to continue drawing, I wouldn’t mind since reading the existing pages over and over never gets old! Take all of the time you need and more!
We all believe in you Alice, and know that sometimes it can be hard to throw yourself back into a creative project after just finishing another creative project and having a long break. Make sure your focusing on your self care at this time also, as this is always important for everybody.
Take you're time to recovery, I'll be here, patienly waiting. So the 5th will be the last volume or no?
please please take the rest you need. burnout is so scary though, and the longer you wait to create again, the more stressful it can become. it's a stupid situation. i'm super happy to see these re-envisioned sketches of previous scenes, your art skills are still there 😍😍😍 look at their expressions! just beautiful ❤
Take it easy, I’m enjoying the current variety ;) it is the last volume and you’re busy with the tv show etc, of course you will need a little more time.
You got this dude
You can do it! And remember, you can take as much time as you need to till you're happy with it
take your time! recovery is so important and necessary. don’t rush yourself back - get back to yourself first
