Thanks for looking!

Wow,
It's been almost 7 months since I've drawn anything! There's been a lot going on in my life, including a move from Okinawa Japan back to the states. But I guess that's no excuse now is it. I'm now living in Quantico Virginia. I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that will probably keep me from working outside my home, since for one week out of every month I have to go get treatments for my diease. Maybe it's fate, and I'm meant to spend more time on my art, so I don't know why I'm not! I guess I need a little motivation. Coming back here and checking out DA and all the deviations helps. I'd like to say thanks to everyone who left me a lot of great feedback on my work. I'm sorry I wasn't around to acknowledge it. I hope to be an active part of DA again soon.

Hey folks,
I just wanted to thank all those who’ve been commenting, and adding my drawings to their favorites. I can’t believe I’m still working on the same drawing! My motivation to draw has been in the toilet lately. So much for my new years resolution to draw more this year. I have no idea where my inspiration has all gone…serious artists block here. I guess it’s a good thing I don’t do this for a living!

Hey folks,
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who left nice comments for me in their favs, or on their watch list. I've been too out of it to keep up with responses. I have this weird skin allergy thing (plus an anxiety neurosis) and been going through tons of testing and drugs that make me spaced, lazy, depresssed, and un-inspired to draw shit. I adopted a dog, hoping he’d make me feel better, and now I found out he has heart worms!

Anyway maybe one of these days I’ll feel normal enough to draw again, and maybe even get back to my last WIP even though I’ve lost interest in it, I did promise I’d do it—damn I feel so horrible for not sticking to it. I just have no energy or motivation right now.

Well, I’m slowly moving along on this one. I just haven’t felt like drawing the last few weeks. I could be a new medication I’m on that makes me lethargic, I feel like it zaps the creative drive right out of me too. I’m battling allergies, depression, and anxiety all at once here. Maybe I’m just one of those insane artist types. The crap meds they have me on are just starting to sink in and not zap all my energy, so I worked on this a little bit today, but not much though. Maybe I’ll finish it —someday! I’m rather disappointed in my self for not working harder on this one. It’s a good thing it’s not a paid commission! This is why I’d be a horrible commissioned artist. I seriosly need to get this thing off my drawing board though.

Here’s an update on my WIP. But I must say I’m not happy with it at all. I feel like I can’t draw any more, ever feel that way? Grandma’s hair is all wrong, and I’m not sure if I’m even close to the likeness of this little boy. By the way the paper I’m using on this is Mat board. I am so regretting not using Bristol smooth, but I couldn’t find any big enough. The texture of this mat board sucks! I can’t get the boy’s skin smooth, and find details are hard to capture on this paper—I hate it. Anyway I keep plodding on with drawing hoping and praying some miracle will happen. And yes, I know the boy needs to be darker, I'm having trouble getting smooth shading on this board so it's been a slow process getting his skin tone in. I'm about ready to scrap it and start over on different paper. I just hate to lose all these hours of work!
