This makes page 135 of 200 pages of a tracing workshop/excercise that a friend posted on the forum I go to. It's almost appropriately called 'The Insane Massive Training Project' Where one is supposed to draw 10 chapters of any manga. I drew one chapter before I figured out it'd be impossible for me to continue that way, so I decided to continue with the rest of it by tracing.
Not learning anything major, but it's not an empty excercise. I've gained a lot of appreciation for one of my favourite mangaka's sensibilities, and now I know how insane it is that they produce 20 pages a week. As it is I only make 2 pages before feeling weary, and that's just copying already completed linework.
Other than that there's a novel that needs some editing, and some other projects that I just need to sweep off the table hopefully before the end of the year.

So this is it. I am here at last at this humble hill of self imposed drawing madness, and I'm so damn proud that I could reach this.
I'm always trying to improve in art in general, I always am trying to get better at everything and anything, but I've gotten a bit fatalistic about the whole process. I keep on feeling that there is no true way to learn anything new, that there's really only the stuff you pick up over time and there's no way you can consciously advance a step forward in a direction you want to go. Things just sort of sort themselves out and there's no point in stressing yourself over it, or bothering about it. The b
10,000 Stick Figures
I drew 10,000 stick figures.
It took me 45 days, but goodness, I finally hit the milestone, and it's quite appropriate that there is no appropriate in how sudden and unexplosive it was to cross the finish line. Almost poetic.
Suffering yet another drought of art, where I had no will to learn or to draw anything really - Especially when it came to my comic projects - and where I felt no drive to even write, I was once again in that endless spiral of despair of having distinct wishes to be able to draw like so and so - to at least have some sort of finished project, to be a master of a certain fundamental. I have the ebooks, I have the youtub

Greetings, Journal, it has been a while.
Guh, so much to talk about, so little time and space.
Let me just say: Epiphanies are great! While they come, in their rare moments.
I have a sudden craving for Sushi.
Let's get to the arting thing, eh?
27.11.2016 - The Journey Continues
The day keeps on turning, the seasons keep on turning, and it has been too long since I just felt great about the whole art process in general, and I doubt I'll feel it again, but I'll sure as hell keep at it.
I miss making art for the smallest reasons, I miss making it for the biggest reasons. I miss being inspired by the drawings and paintings I see from all across the board, no matter how many people like them or not. I miss that optimistic fool.
I'll never be that person again, but I sure as hell will try to reach out more, to draw more, to train more. To get back into the process.
Long story short, the process continues.
