Not Impressive, and Yet

Hey all,

I'll keep this short and a least depressing as possible.

Lately I haven't been up to any serious work at all. It's depressed me slightly, mostly because I don't know how to fix it. It seems like I never come up with a painting idea that seems like it will be interesting in any way, shape, or form. I don't know if that has to do with my attention span or just my thought process. Having no way to solve this problem, it's went on for a couple weeks, but today I looked through my DA and noticed that someone I really like on my devWatch had updated. She hadn't updated in a while so I was pretty excited and I hadn't seen her work lately. The image wasn't very interested, but I forgot how much I loved the way she painted, something about it just made the piece interesting for me. I suddenly REALLY wanted to paint, even if it was something boring, with strokes like that it could be interesting.

So today at work I'm gonna make a list of everything I think of to draw and finally get my butt in gear and make something, ANYTHING to get me practising painting and finishing a piece again.

Hope everyone else is going strong!

scribbles

I got an art block (which I suffer from a lot) and so I just scribbled on the page and made figures out of it. Very fun actually, but the curves tend to lend themselves to female figures more so it could get boring in the long term.


In other news, I have completely failed at updating this weekly, but I honestly think most of the things I do look exactly like the last and I don't feel I need to be repetitious. I'll try and update when I feel like I've done something amusing or interesting.
