I can draw again! Sort of!
Tonight I felt inspired (by the sky) and so I started drawing.

I think this artist's block haze I've been wandering around in is finally lifting! Hooray!



So what I came up with is this guy:


Two scans to show the progress.

This is as far as I got before my talent left me again and I started getting lazy about him. I got scared I'd mess him up so I've stopped.

Apparently he lives in a cave (why do so many of my drawings live in caves?) and he is using his one good eye to stare longingly at the sky through a tiny hole in the cave ceiling.

Donovan says: He looks like one of those droopy dogs!

I'll work on him again when I feel like I'm not going to ruin him. He still needs a lot of work.

I feel like I can finally draw again and I am so relieved.
=)

Wow! Very nice Sara. I love the lining and value. Do you use ball-point?

Thanks! =)

I usually use ball point when I draw things in this style, but this guy is done with a fancy "India ink quality marker." In reality he's more black than gray.

Yayy! A lot of times when people experience any kind of artistic block it's mainly because they are telling themselves they can't do it.

yes, yaaay!
And you're right. A lot of times it is that. But for me it's just...I put my pen to paper and nothing good happens sometimes. I'm not really sure why. I don't tell myself I can't do it. I know I can draw. I don't think I'm the best or anything but I love drawing and I try not to discourage myself about it. Anyway whatever was keeping my drawing ability away is gone now so hooray! haha

Thank you! And yeah you told me about that site. The artwork there is amazing!

=/ That sucks. I think that was probably my problem too...total lack of motivation. I hope you find some motivation soon. I love your art.
