I Draw Stuff

Another go at life drawing...

Still very traditional, and way too slow.
Had to fix many mistakes.

But hey, it's all practice... And it'll come back I'm sure.

But overall, feeling better about this one, perspective is better than it has been.

Very well done!
@Maeglin thankyou... Getting better. I just need to keep finding inspirational stuff to draw 😊

@BoobooSnafu I can relate to that - I can't draw for shit but as a musician I sometimes lack creative inspiration. Just got to keep plugging away at it 🙂
@Maeglin so true!

But I get disheartened when I do crappy one after crappy one!

They take so much longer now... 20 years outta practice... This stuff used to flow from my fingers so easy😩

@BoobooSnafu yeah, I get that. Sometimes I try and play something and I'm hopeless, other times it flows nicely and I play well. But I agree, it is disheartening when it's not happening the way you hope it will
@Maeglin I never force it... If it's not flowing, I go do something else.

It's one of the reasons I gave up being a graphic designer - 9 to 5 five days a week.... Trying to constantly come up with fresh ideas...it was mentally and creatively exhausting after a few years.
I always took a small drawing book everywhere I went, because you never knew when ideas would hit.
Can't remember how many company and product logos started off on a beer coaster in a night club! 😁

@BoobooSnafu totally, inspiration can hit at any time. I've got up in the middle of the night to play a guitar many times because a riff has popped into my head! But it definitely can't be forced - I've been working on a solo album for nearly a year now because inspiration has been lacking for more than half that time
@Maeglin yeah, those long dead stretches are frustrating.... It's your desire and your want.... But the pure feeling can sometimes be frustratingly allusive.

@BoobooSnafu totally agree with you
