So it is time to get back on track.
As wise man once said:
"Life is hard, art is easy".
I believe art is still pretty hard but I miss the times when opening new letters
were just birthday cards.
So for now the goal is to get the feeling of fun back while drawing and studying.
It sounds cheesy but for real when I go back to drawing I only get bitter
when I look at the quality where Im currently at.
Ultimately it comes down to grind it out and get better 1% everyday is always more than 0%.
I keep the studyplan in mind but I am going to use it as resource when I face issues drawing stuff
that I actual like and enjoy.
I guess developing ideas and drawing / painting them out until I find a issue I want or have to fix
in order to reach a next level is probably the way to keep my sanity.
Besides the digital stuff Im doing these type of quick sketchbook drawings with a ballpoint pen
where I use no eraser. It is actually kinda fun to not always have the option to press ctrl + z for every wrong line.
The room in the elephant besides many other issues for me is still the portrait / face part or drawing appealing humans in general. For now I have to grind it out tho until I am satisfied enough before pushing anything to a finalized
illustration or concept.
