I lack the attention span for more than 2 or 3 hours on any one piece. You should try to do more drawing from imagination. Its funny how people tend to give advice that they dont follow themselves :D
Thanks Haze :) I've been digitally painting for a while so that helped, but painting a face from life is much much harder than painting from a photo, I like to be dedicated though!
I will be doing a lot more imaginative work from now on, I was stuck thinking "What should I draw/study today?", so the schedule will keep me working on things :)
It sound like you need some self discipline haha! There are some great books on becoming a more disciplined person though, give it a search :)
