as an artist, things have been chaos. lots of side commission work that's pulled my boundaries in directions i normally don't Travers in. have any of you ever felt like you've reached a plain of same? not necessarily a point where you don't think you can evolve and get better but more so a period where things just stay the same.
this last year i've really done a good amount of work art wise, and with each project i began to feel more and more like i was missing something, a tool perhaps that i needed to acquire or shall i say, reacquire.
as a child i used to draw A LOT. in my teen years i only would draw IF i didn't have anything to do and in my early adult years, i just forgot about it completely. i'd doodle something quick for my son or help with an art project my wife was doing but as far as sitting down and putting something from my head on paper, it just wasn't even a thought. i've only been doing digital art for the past 6+ years, ever since i had lung surgery.
with these art commission projects coming in, i'm starting to identify what it is i'm missing from the apparatus that is my creations. it's my childhood hobby lost in age, drawing. these days, i doodle still but really get bummed mentally knowing all the tools i'm used to digitally i don't have access to. true i can scan images and work on them that way but what it is i need is a digital artist tablet. sure a monitor tablet would be fantastic but even a small digital pen and tablet would make things move in even larger boundaries.
so my deviant artists, i believe once i acquire one and can rely less on this mouse and more on the pen, you'll see my artwork unfold at an even great pace!

Stay strong and think about how to truly relate!
