just so yall know

art block is your brain telling you to do studies.

draw a still life. practice some poses. sketch some naked people. do a color study. try out a different technique on a basic shape.

art block doesnt stop you from drawing, it stops you from making your drawings look the way you want them to. and thats because you need to push your skills to the next level so you can preform at that standard

think of it as level grinding for your next work.

As a scientific illustrator- this is 100% true and going to review your basics will fix it every goddamn time.  Not only does it keep your skills sharp, when you’re not emotionally invested in the final product of a piece, you relax and your brain makes more/better art juice for you.  So, when you get back to that big/important piece?  You’ll know what to do and how to do it.

Nothing in nature blooms all year round.  Rest, and take care of yourself.

you know those big animation projects where a bunch of people make a whole 15 minute thing together? that but panel redraws of the whole of homestuck

I feel like we need to annotate Homestuck because it was very much a beast of its time and I feel like there’s a lot of in-jokes that get missed by people reading it today. Like the fact that Dave’s “kick it barack” actually took place on Obama’s reelection night, and John arriving 15 pages late with Starbucks, and those Kickstarter fantrolls, and why tricksters are Like That. So many good gags lost to time and a very specific context.
