shadows_galleryHello, all! I'm whisking by here to leave a short little update before hitting those very, very late character portraits.
These last few weeks have been difficult. I've spent the majority of my days caretaking (which I'm sure you all are sick of hearing about for now, and so I won't go into too much detail). The evenings have seen me struggling with character portraits, drawing and redrawing and redrawing things until I was cross eyed. Unfortunately, a side effect of stress for me is that nothing I create looks right to me, so artwork tends to be like treading upwater.
I'm trying really, really hard to beat that funk this week. I warmed up today by starting on a sketch of Taylor Kitsch as John Carter. It got off to a bumpy start, and I'll finish it up later, but it got my drawing muscles revved up enough to start on the next character portrait on the agenda. It actually seems to be going rather smoothly so far! (I really hope I didn't just jinx myself by writing that.)
In other news, I have a few ideas that I may be implementing with this blog in the next few months. I want to get caught up and find my working rhythm again before adding projects and/or events to the list, though.
