*sigh*

I haven't drawn anything substantial in months. My biggest project was Neron Caesar and that was sometime in August probably.

Sure, I'm not an excellent artist, but it's a fun hobby to pass the time. I just can't get anything out. My ideas, I can't work them out on paper or they're just not very good ideas. I've done a photo trace, I'm working on coloring a digital trace in a very detailed manner, I did one drawing of Dallas Green, and I participated in Hourly Comics Day. Those are my 'artistic achievements' since August.

Ugh. It's pissing me off. I just dunno what to do. Since I quit my comic, I've faced a huge drought. That made me do something 3 times a week. I'd experiment, play with different poses. I learned and I grew. Two years ago today, I started a 'drawing a day' program, to relieve me of a lot of stress I was going through. I kept it for 2 months, and dropped it because it served its purpose and I didn't need its help anymore. My comic, I loved drawing it but hated the return for it. It wasn't worth the work. It was too much to do, I put out shoddy things, and even my good things were looked upon as crap. Did I get jaded? I don't know. Neron Caesar was a fun fun drawing, and I want to do something like that again. I toyed with making us Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan, but it was hard to incorporate her trademark blond hair. The unfinished drawing has sat on my printer for 2 or 3 months now. My Dallas drawing was pretty great to my standards.

I hope I get out of this soon. I need to draw SOMETHING, I just don't have the inspiration, drive, ability, or content (or maybe a mixture or maybe all of those) to draw. Maybe I should start my drawing a day again?

I just don't want to wear it out. Making drawing a CHORE doesn't help worth shit. Suggestions?

I know. I had some old stuff I've submitted. And a good bit of new things too. I think I might try a drawing with charcoal shading today...
