This a great thread, thanks guys.
I'm not sure what is going on with myself really at this moment. Maybe it's the dreadful burnout; Maybe it's just lack of motivation. I have been working and teaching, and that takes a lot of time.
When I finally sit with the few hours I have to myself, I don't feel like doing over complicated studies or even starting a long piece. I just do a sketch and call it done. I have been trying my best to test one stuff of the other, but right now I don't exactly what my problem is, so I just feel lost and drop it altogether.
I mean, the problem is everywhere, from anatomy to perspective to composition, but... improving isn't as easy as it once was. Which is funny because I didn't think it was easy back then... So I felt like I was slowly giving up. Which is a shame because I already invested so much time in making this work, how come I'd give it up now?
A professor of mine once told me the path from 9 to 10 is twice as long as the path from 1 to 9 (referring to grades). I hope this is the case; If I can make it to that 8, I'd have something to look out for hehe
So yeah, the "have fun" message come in with perfect timing. I will just finish just this one more page and get to have some fun with pencils. Let's see how this goes :)
I need to get the ball rolling again if I want to get somewhere.
