Art rant and this year's General Whine.

Wed Aug 6, 2008, 1:41 PM
I guess I'm in just one of those moods, but I'm aching to churn out more art but am stifled somehow. Every time I see a comic, I'm like, "I need to be doing this!" But then when I actually get down to it I never quite finish them since I know that in a few months I'll be like, "Bleh, what is this, I can't believe I wrote that!"

I've been so busy writing my novel(s) that I feel that I've neglected my art. You know that thing, if you don't use it, ya lose it? I haven't penciled in forever, but there is a bit of convenience in just grabbing the tablet and going to town in photoshop. I've been addicted to painting even though I hate the way I do it. I guess my muse is being emo or something...O_o Considering that Batman's usually my muse, that might be quite accurate. I haven't really felt like doing a Batman piece lately cause eeeeveryone and their sister is doing one. Nothin' wrong with jumping on the bandwagon and all, and I'll probably do a DK piece eventually, but meh.

And every time I see a lovely background or something done in perspective--I grit my teeth cause I would love to be able to do that...I need practice I guess but still...I've practiced so hard doing human anatomy and human proportions that now that I've finally gotten a handle on such things I realize there's still a lot left I've got to learn.

Like, should I concentrate on the stuff I'm good at and just draw that, and master it? Or should I put up with the training wheels and fall down A LOT in order to be able to ride through the neighborhood anywhere I want to go?

I guess I'm just saying that I wish I could make a masterpiece...but I don't have the patience to sit down and finish it...Bah.

Anyway I have a little bit of free time on my hands between now and when school starts again--Graduate school, mind you, so I probably ought to treasure this time--I am interested in drawing anything and everything*. So feel free to blast me with suggestions.


* Note--actually does not mean anything and everything. I'll mostly take fanart, and stuff on a case-by-case basis. :D
