This is definitely a dull night stand sketch. I’m in the middle of an artistic slump right now, I’ve had them before and I will work through it. But currently I’m just trying new things and seeing if I can improve my motivation with something different.
The something different tonight was getting out of my studio and using graphite. I must say I’m not very excited about graphite. It can be as tedious as pen an ink but without the high contrast that I like. Of course if I worked more than a half hour on a drawing my opinion would be different so I’m going to keep my pencils sharp for another go at this.
I feel envious, because even when you are not doing your “best” work, you are still doing amazing work (to me, at least). I hope now that I’m done studying, I can focus on doing some sort of writing every day.
Yeah, keeping up constant motivation is always a challenge. I think the key is finding something that your excited about and pursuing it relentlessly. The hard part is finding something that excites you that much.
