Eyliana: Cool line art!
Jeso: Thanks man. It's a new TV series based off of some old horror movies. Hilarious. ;)
--------------
Got a WIP portrait from the mini-series, "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell."
And a bunch of gestures and imaginative play.. And even some sci-fi elements.
Book's Weekly Review:
I'm solving visual problems and figuring things out slowly. I've done a little something everyday this week, even if it's not shown, so I'm proud of myself for that.
I have this deep fear and embarrassment associated with my work, though.
I've seen artists where their work hasn't changed or improved in 10 years. I don't want to be one of those artists. But, I'm afraid that I don't have the patience, or the will power, to sit down and do the fundamentals and apply them and work slowly to build up to get somewhere. That I'll just be a copy machine and I'll never be anything more.
My ADD isn't an excuse, but it's a big problem. It makes it harder for me to push. Most days all I can do is just copy, because that's what I'm comfortable doing. And I want to do the hard stuff and go beyond that, but I just don't have the will power. I see exactly what my problem is, and I want to fix it, but it's as if I can't.
My solution is to attempt to build will power, by simply working at art everyday and doing a little bit of application with that work. It doesn't have to be much. Just something... And then as time goes on, maybe I'll do a little more, and a little more.
I can't expect to be able to train intensely and perfectly right at the beginning... I have to allow myself to build up to it, and own it. So... I can't stop. No matter how shitty my work is, I have to ignore that and power through.
