Lana face workings

Thought I'd post where I am with that picture of Lana I'm working on, as you can see I still have a long way to go until I'm going to be happy with this one, but I am content enough to plod along with it ^^
Also working on some human characters, not sure how far I will get with these but I thought I might post them here anyway. I'll post them again if I do anything more with them.

Art blocks

I'm afraid I haven't been in much of a drawing mood lately, I've been getting through other little jobs, such as updating my website neoncola.co.uk and keeping busy with my hat sales on eBay.

I decided to try and get myself in gear and have flat coloured this picture here.
Looks pretty basic (rubbish) at the moment and I have a lot of work yet to do, I know where I want it to go but it's going to take a while to get it there.

Art blocks are annoying, there are many different ways of dealing with them.
What I've tried here is 'Forcing' which is where you force yourself to draw, sometimes this works sometimes it doesn't, when it doesn't it can make you feel really bad about your art.
Hopefully before you get to that you try the other method, 'Don't draw'.
This is where you do anything but draw and look for things that will inspire you; watch a movie, read a book, listen to music, go for a walk, anything that will help you to relax. Before you know it you'll be drawing again and I find that after a block my art improves because I've had time to give myself a break and find lots of new ideas.
Sometimes it's a matter of finding what works for you, I know how frustrating it can be when you have an idea of something you want to draw but when you put pencil to paper nothing happens or worse what ever your drawing looks bad.
The best thing to do though is to put it away and not worry about it.
Right I'm off to watch a movie ^^
