Cat's Sketchbook

[The_Walking_Cat]

@smrr: Thank you :) Hmm... I mostly draw studies - maybe I should do more free work. My problem is that I still have that dumb perfectionist-mindset mixed with anxiety. I try to do everything right because otherwise "I'm wasting my time". And since I work as a graphic designer, I have less time to do a lot of artwork. And as a result I think of free work as wasted time because I want to improve fast (I know that this mindset is wrong, I try to change that) so I draw a lot of studies. I have a lot of ideas and stuff but I'm too afraid and distracted of my current life difficulties to bring it on paper. I struggle to make it as a freelance designer, being a freelance illustrator is even harder to find work here in Germany (this country isn't very illustration-affine, the german "illustratoren Organisation" doesn't really help). 

@iamorrin: Yeah, I really like Hampton's turorials and books. I think they are better than Loomis because Hampton has a more sculptural and three-dimensional approach which make his drawings less flat. 

@Doolio: Haha, what a coincidence! :D I think I may have hit a plateau. I don't know, for example I draw legs since last year, but I still don't get the muscles correct. May be my bad memory :/

@MarcRosete: Thank you, I love cats ^^ I may turn into a crazy cat-lady one day O_o

@kaji02: Thanks :)

@-echo- : Thank you. I hope I will not get too lazy o_o
