This does not make sense logically: I do nothing but go online, draw, and other life-maintaining functions nowadays, but I have nothing that I can post here! (or anywhere, for that matter) I wonder what I have been doing. Further re-inquisition to my own manga has provided me with the conclusion that the quality is going down. I have also been unsatisfied with my art as of late. Could this be…
The prelude to an art block…!?
But I just got over one like 2 weeks ago.
…looking back to my previous LJ reminds me not to rant too much on blogs… as a result, now I have over 300 entries left to edit from public status to private status because I am afraid that they’ll scare people away. (now that I am using that LJ username once more for the webcomic artist community)
But I guess I am not exactly in the mood to filter rants (thus the title, rant) right now. I realized that ever since I graduated from high school, I seldom sketched. Primarily because I don’t have any ideas to sketch out when I actually try to do so. It’s not that I don’t think about anime-related things; I think about it often enough, I have scenes to work out in my own manga. Just tonight I figured out that the action “sketch” doesn’t come to my mind under circumstances where normal people would initiate such action. I also realized that this may be the primary cause of my lack of practice, inability to illustrate scenes / moods / atmosphere, and lack of creativity.
So maybe from now on, I should try to sketch more. Having a sketchbook might also help.
Neh it won’t, I’ll just lose it :(
I guess I will also take this opportunity to introduce 2 similar webcomics that I have deeply enjoyed. I am sure a large portion of the MMO/RPG nerd crowd would enjoy them too:
