Something New

Wed Apr 29, 2009, 1:42 PM
  • Mood: Peaceful
  • Listening to: Redlight District
  • Reading: Scar Night [Campbell]
  • Drinking: Water
I'm genuinely tired of drawing the same things over and over. I want to break out of this rut, this routine. I hate feeling like I'm making no progress at all.

I want to tell myself "No people for the next month." Instead I'll work on environments, places—urban most definitely. For years I've wished I could draw cityscapes, wished I could catch the chaotic grunge of real life street corners and alleys, the grandeur of massive skyscrapers, the incongruity of a lived-in environment.

It sounds idealistic and I'm not going to achieve the level of skill I want overnight, but I've sorely neglected backgrounds. The focus was always trained on the people, the characters, as perhaps it should have been. However I can't make them better until I give them a world to exist in.



May 21, 2009 EDIT:

xD I failed spectacularly at my "no people" promise. I just can't do it. They need to be drawn. If that means they'll float in empty white voids for a while longer, so be it.
