Yesterday I had a random giant art block. Like, for everything. Didn't want to write, draw, sew, knit, nothing. Even the science channel couldn't rouse me.
Well, the good news is I spent about three hours trapped (literally) in Books a Million, which was a cure-all. Good books and good art books saved me <3 I hung around reading one of my favorite art books, which I've yet to purchase, even though I look through it every time I go into the store. It's got lovely examples that inspire me like crazy, and really helpful how-to sections. It's just at the level I need ^_^
So I've been drawing like crazy. Some weird stuff, some nice. Some I don't think I'll ink, even though it's cool (or won't do more than ink). I'm really trying to change my style, make it something new, better able to push my emotions through. I'm tired of the sort of perfect look of manga-style. I'll still draw in it, but I want to draw people more...flawed. I guess. Bigger noses, smaller eyes. I really, really want to draw some nice ruddy cheeks.
The cool thing about this is that it exposes all the flaws in my drawing that I learned to hide with the manga-style. DARN YOU, JAWLINES D:
Anyyywho. Gonna go draw. I've only been drawing late at night, cause my boyfriend's been feeling icky and I've been taking care of him during the day. It's all good though~ :)
...dude, it's a Harry Potter smiley. ~:)
