Looks nice, and sounds like a good goal to get the art blood pumping. Just take care and don't stress yourself out

That's a good plan, I'm doing it myself! I dedicate at least one hour a day to art, a bit like doing homework. This is a nice sketch but where are the paws! I love paws so.

still don't think pressuring yourself is the way to go, but whatever works for you

Thing is, no pressure gets me absolutely nowhere. I end up doing nothing on the art front. And every day I do nothing is a day I usually end up feeling bad about myself.

I want to get back into producing art regularly. I miss it so much, being an artist is just a big part of who I am. I have so many ideas for pics and comics I want to do, to say nothing of commission obligations and that bloody last issue of House of Lazarus that needs finishing.

I just need to get through this block and get my creative energy flowing again, and that's going to involve me putting some degree of pressure on myself. The 24 hour comic didn't work, and I seem to have recovered enough from that I feel up to trying something else (something which did work for me before). If this doesn't work, I'll try something else. But I am going to keep trying.

Yeah I dunno, I kinda agree with what that other guy said try and do a hour a day [Even if you set a kitchen timer to a hour and HAVE to draw in that time] I just think if you make yourself do a sketch a day it'll be an annoying hassle scanning and uploading each one, you might be better off trying the "Hour" idea or doing stuff thats HOL roughs or commision roughs in that time, if they're not good OK its practice if they are good ink em and its a job done

The main point of this exercise is not really to produce pics, but to get my creativity flowing by making my brain work on something brand new every day. And it seems to be working, I am definitely feeling better on the creative front. The sketches themselves don't take very long once I manage to get going on them, and scanning and uploading hardly takes any time at all, so I still have plenty of time to work on other stuff as well, once I get to the point I feel ready to get back to the other stuff (at the rate I'm going that should be very soon).

And hey, its not as if this is going to be a permanent thing. It's just until I've got myself well and truly going again on my art.

OK thats cool, long as its working for you, but don't beat yourself up if you can't do 24 hour comics or whatever straight away its a bit of a jump from sketch a day etc to those

P.S take it you've seen the new Avengers trailer http://youtu.be/bGt-saFvkNk

also if you got comic or art ideas and not in a Art mood etc WRITE THEM DOWN, I used to write story notes etc on scraps of paper at work our out on delivery...then you got them to refer to if you're sat down doing the "Hour thing" or 24 hour comic or whatever so you're not short of ideas, write comics out like stage play scripts or whatever then at least the dialoges sorted for when you draw it or just do stickmen of whats going to be in each panel etc

I hope this method helps you get back into drawing, and it's good to see more of your artwork ^^

I actually find it pretty damn good!

Can tell that the dude's got attitude, but then again, you would need some to rock leather anyway. :P
Hope that this helps get the juices flowing again, I always look forward to seeing what you put up next, I'm just not one to leave comments all that much. Blasted lurker tendencies.

A new drawing every day? Love the sound of that...!

you know, there is something about your style that I have just missed seeing in my notifications. I'm very glad to see you've made something and shared it with us, regardless if you feel it has flaws or not. I would be delighted if something else would pop up in my notifications from you tomorrow =) Take care Cyberklaw!

Thats really good, even for a sketch :)

Getting back to drawing is the right thing to do and it might just be the impulse you need to bounce back. The fact you manages to do it is a good sign. Results don't matter for now. Maybe you can draw out your negative emotions. I sure wish you get better quick now.

Woot! Nice to see you drawing again!

Glad to see you're back and drawing again. The sketch looks great! ^^

This is a great idea to get yourself drawing again. I do wish you all the best with this. And from what i can see, i think its going to really help you out getting your flow back again.

I personally dont see anything wrong with this. I think its a good drawing. Your style and attention to detail always amazes me.

I wish you all the best with this. Just take it as it comes and do your best you can. And you'll be unleashing the creativity amountly.
