Randomness

Here's another sketch page just to move the pencil around and try to catch some drawing rhythm. I took a good week around Christmas off and away from any sort of creative outlet. Needed to recharge. But, as usual, when I had to get back to it, I was rusty. That's all it takes sometimes - five, six, seven days. Anyways, this helped me a little bit get back into the saddle.

Rust-knocker

I get rusty quickly and frequently. Sometimes just switching from one job to another is enough for me to lose focus - and suddenly I ain't drawing what I want to draw. At least not very well. My common remedy for this is to keep drawing that fucker over and over and over again until something starts to look right. But sometimes even that isn't opening up the right circuits for me and I need to just numbly move the pencil around and draw ANYTHING to kinda kick-start myself. So, every once in a while (though not nearly as often as I should) I'll sit down and just freely doodle a bunch of crap all in a big amorphous blob - warm up that muscle memory. This is an example of one such page.

I apologize for the lack of posts here in August - been a busy month. But I should get in another one or two new drawings before August closes out.
