I've been getting over the most severe depression induced artist block of my life the past couple weeks. It wasn't very evident here on FA, aside from me ignoring notes and emails, since it was down for so long, but I have not completed a real project since the end of May. Even that was just a badge.
Now I am picking it up again, starting with an overdue badge. Me and my colored pencils, we fight when I go without using them for a while. It takes a bit to remember the feel of them and get back into the intuitive flow of colored pencil work. It's like pulling teeth and I've nearly lost my temper a couple times. I took this shoddy webcam picture right after I finally got the muzzle to behave. Now the golden fur arund the neck is giving me issues. It's more like...mud..right now. I have so much to learn and improve on.
Why am I even uploading this? Oh yeah, I'm procrastinating.

I know how that feels... dreading 'the list'.. Sometimes when I feel like I've got too much that I need to do, I don't know where to start and end up doing nothing at all... and that just makes it worse ^.^, Anyways good luck with getting through them one at a time and I'm sure you'll feel better once you do..
You talk so nice an' perdy. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e.....wolf/BBB01.jpg
*gives hugs* i don't particularly know drawing as well as i'd like, but i know that feeling of frustration all too well... just where every little wrong mistake makes you wanna punch something :P don't worry, you'll get back into the flow of it ^^ i hope you feel better as well! great work so far by the way
Heh. I honestly couldn't tell with the first picture of Kenket I saw.
Ah well. A bit of androgyny doesn't matter to me. I've never been one to care about appearance or anything like that. 'sides, I think people who look a bit tomboy are more fun to hang out with usually. They're just less restrained.

I just now got to this in my loaded box full of 2,000+ submissions, but I wanted to pass something on to you I learned in one of my classes yesterday that I feel is relative to all creative endevours. Art is "doing that which you do not know how to do."
To better explain, when you are staring down at a blank canvas you don't know what the finished piece will look like. Usually you have some idea, but you don't know how the work will shape itself, shape you. Every time you sit down to create you're plunging into a void. Some say that this is why so many creative types (writers, artists) turn to drugs and alcohol; to better cope with the unknown.
You are an incredible artist, and even if it doesn't turn out exactly as you want it to, it will still be excellent. Tread confidently and fill the void with greatness. :)
