As i got up this mornin i felt pretty crummy because my latest piece was a flop, not because I didn't expect that, but because I knew it would be. And now I begin my manifesto of the conspiracy against me in art... just kidding lol
But yea, as the day went on, i just kept drawing and I think i worked consistently more today than I have in years. I maybe spent 3 hours on not drawing activities, and maybe an hour and a half eating/showering. I need to cut them showers down to like 15 minutes or less because going in there for forty minutes isn't doing me any favors, even though it feels great in this cold weather.
But you know what made me feel good was as flawed and as guerrilla (koala) as my approach to art is, over time it just adds up you know. Like I don't do everything 100% by the book (I barely do it 60% by the book,) but I don't care, and i will continue to force it until it just works. Like my sketches are on the brink of being cool I feel, but not there yet, but very close.
It's like everything I do is the wrong way until it's awesome, then my way was the right way because it worked. Not in the most efficient fashion, but in a working fashion. In the future if someone asks me how to improve at art, I'll just tell them, "Do everything they tell you not to do, but do it better than they do it."
