Got that weird feeling
I don't know if you ever experienced a lack of imagination because you have too much. Somehow, that's my case at the moment. I have plenty of ideas, my imagination is surely dreaming of new stuff but I just can't get the hold on it.
I wonder why.
Is it because I don't have the time to grab those great ideas swirling in my limbo-esque imagination? Or is it, perhaps, that I'm simply not satisfied by the perfection of my art when I need to give a realistic medium to my ideas? Probably both. I would really like to release my ideas, all of them, quickly and beautifully. I can't, like I impose to myself perfection, not less and perfection is a matter of taking my time.
I'd love to draw nicely and quickly, but it seems I can't. It's probably what bothers me most. In the end, my ideas are slowly merging, getting so big that they can't stay together and then POP!, they explode, disappear from my imagination and I never was able to get a hold on them.
It all started at the beginning of the year when I had that huge drawing craving. My imagination simply popped out of its narrow physics prison. But I started my master a week after. Though I had time to draw back in Tucson for keeping myself occupied, it wasn't enough. It's never enough!
Same thing about writing. I'd love to write something. Perhaps creating a comic of some sort. I'd love it. I have a few strong ideas I haven't forgot yet, but damn! I just don't know how to write it well in the first place! I don't have my evenings like I had back in high school when I went to bed after hours of creating new stories. I also think my boyfriend is an imagination inhibitor. Not that he lacks of imagination (he surely does have a lot), however I would like to please him with what I create, and that's hard!

Am I thinking too much about the people's reaction to my art? I now a lot would say I shouldn't bother about their comments. But listening to such comments is a way to perfect my art...
What I'd like to do :
- Draw tattoos ;
- Write short stories based on our Victorian London Exalted game ;
- Finally draw on Photoshop ;
- Create a comic and perhaps posting it as a weekly strip.
- A lot of things...

I'm still in the process of creating a sort of tattoo-esque picture. It isn't my first attempt at drawing tattoos (I did a couple of them and two are permanently decorating my body), but my first attempt to draw non-tribal tattoos with complex curves, shades and design. I'm doing good for now, the main design is fixed (I hope), but I haven't started the hardest part yet. I hope I'll be able to get something good out of it soon.
Here are parts of this project :
Punky girl representing the our present or a near future. I don't know how I ended up with such an haircut, but I love it. The aviator sunglasses, well, are doing good. She looks a bit emo though, but I don't give a damn about it. I simply love her style, that's enough for me. I love the feeling of emancipation she's showing by her pose, the taste of freedom, curiosity, adventure.
The lady besides is from another epoch, probably the lat 1800's. She's representing romanticism, love, sweetness. She is somehow restrained by her epoch, dreaming of inconceivable freedom. She's obviously the opposite of the neo punk girl above.
Then a couple of roses I draw for practise. I expect to draw one (probably not from the three beside) in order to split the 2 girls epochs. The rose will probably be nature on one side and made of metal on the other. Well see...
Well, that's enough said. Lets draw!
