I haven't really updated in a while and I know my DA journal has been in a state of pause for a while now.

I actually have intentions of putting all my regular information back up soon, I just haven't had time to sit down and redo the layout for my journal since my DA sub expired and I will be changing the images to something else. No biggie and shouldn't take me long, it's just finding the TIME.

What's really sad about my lack of art is that there are so many things that contribute to my slowness or generally the slowness of any artist. The reliance on inspiration, the lack of time, the frequent wrist/arm pain I have been suffering. What's really sad though is that out of those things, what really has made me the slowest lately is that I have a serious inability to tell myself to STOP sometimes. I actually had the time/inspiration/wrist ability to work on a big commission piece a few days ago. And I worked for four hours straight (which is a huge deal for me, I know other people can sit down for 7 hours and that's pretty usual for them - it totally is not for me though lol). But I only got the FACE done. I spent so much time doing and redoing certain parts that before I knew it, four hours had passed and I hadn't made half the progress I had intended on making.

I'm just sort of rambling here, but I think it's amusing that even when everything aligns itself just right in my life, I STILL don't get enough done lol.

Anyways, this is going to be a really busy late Spring/early Summer for me but I have plans for several pieces to be done during this time, including the one I'm working on now that has taken up a good chunk of time. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the season!

I know how that goes... :hug: Hope you find the time for a breather! Looking forward to seeing new artwork, but remember to take time for yourself :)

Aw, I know how you feel! I think a lot of artists go through similar stages with their art. Relax and enjoy what you're doing is my best advice...
Oi. I know all about the hand/wrist pain, as of late. x_x BENGAY!! =P (Although if you're like me and like to lean in close while you draw, then you may encounter the added handicap of FUMES IN YER EYEEEZ. Use with caution.)

Hey Brianne. I know how you feel on the, "Just stop!" issue. I do it myself. I'll tear a piece apart just for one aspect, and I'll keep on working over and over on that one aspect, until I get angry at it and then leave it to rot on my hardrive. :/

::hugs::

I wish you the best of luck on inspiration, I know I've had quite some issues with that myself, again. Let's hope it gets better and is just a phase? ;3

Glad to know I'm not the only one who keeps picking at things hah! I feel you on the inspiration, it can be awfully hard to come by when you are busy and tired :( Thanks for the well wishing, and I hope for the same for you! :heart:
