Artist’s Block

Ever heard of a writer’s block? It’s sort of the same thing.

For the past few days, I’ve been trying to draw something decent. Nothing rushed, nothing too “formal”. A 2-hour sketch will do, but at least it will look good, or will look like what I had in mind. But for some reason, I can’t find “it”. The thing that drives me to do it, or something that makes me feel the “oomph”. I’m having a hard time explaining it, but I hope you understand.

My friend suggested I doodle whatever is in my mind at the moment, that way it will loosen me into approaching my “target” drawing. It’s just that I can’t feel it yet. Maybe it’ll come soon, maybe not, but I don’t like this feeling of disappointment and frustration, and I know that I’m the only one who can fix it.

I guess that’s how I describe my “artist’s block”.

    I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — fuckin’ gamers.

    The only game I’m playing is FFTA2, which usually takes 15-30 minutes.

    dang.
