I really don't know what's come over me but I haven't been the same since I finished school.
I'm beginning to lose interest in my artwork and my music for something else entirely.
I even struggled to draw this in hopes that something would come out of it.
So I feel like I have been absent...

I can attest to this as well. The months after finishing graduate school (and giving up on a PhD for good) took a serious toll on me emotionally. I lost interest in a lot of things I had hitherto found seminal in my life (one of them being theory-the same thing that I was in grad school for!) Give it a while and don't feel bad about where things lead you. If you need to take a break from art, do so, just remember to check back every once in a while to see if that creative zest is back. I wish you the very best.
It's almost funny how many artists similarly get disinterested in their own work from time to time. Sometimes, a good kick in the pants and some direction -or focus- can work wonders for your "artistic work ethic" (best way I can phrase that). I also wanted to add that I love your brush strokes. Your drawings have this "character" to them that I've been digging.
Don't worry about it, you'll be fine. Keep notes on everything for later. When the pain of not making stuff is greater than the pain of no inspiration, you'll get back into it :)
