Slow Progress...

Life's too busy at the moment and getting a couple of hours a day to work on my personal art has been a struggle as of late but we'll get there, I hope I do.

Line Art Therapy

Yesterday I got burned out.

After falling in line at our local SSS for almost 3 hours and having to endure the long wait while being sick in the stomach, I just could not bring myself to work at full capacity later that evening. So after working on some art tasks I played an hour of DOTA then proceeded to painting a version of this guy only to wake up early in the morning thinking that I think I'd like to draw him instead.

So I did. Yup, sometimes I get fickle-minded when it comes to my personal art. That's not something I could do with client work.

I miss doing stuff like this. In the pursuit of work and career growth, I think I may have forgotten how to draw for fun. It has been like forever since I just drew because I wanted to and winging it last night really felt good. You see, often when I am at the drawing table, it's either I am working on client work or am doing something with the intent of adding it to my portfolio (which badly needs an update by the way). Last night felt different, it was fun and even though it meant I will have to draw double time tonight to catch up with my tasks I think it was all worth it... hopefully I'd get to draw some more before I sleep later.
