Self discipline is good. I seem to keep forgetting that figure drawing is a technical endeavor. I must approach it with the same method I would for a car, or a building - meaning, slow and with recognition of what is right and proper. Through discipline and diligent practice, I think I will improve.
I've been thinking of trying ikebana as well; before I start buying flowers, I will do sketches to get some designs I like.

This blog is for me
------------------
I have started to get my groove of work going. It's a bit easier to keep yourself organized when your shifts become regular, and predictable. I have trouble dedicating myself to much when I have a schedule that changes week-to-week, or even day-to-day. My artwork and volume of creative output hit a serious low this summer. When creativity ceases, I assume I need training, which is what I've been spending most of my time doing. My computer is fixed, reformatted, and I just reinstalled all my Wacom® tablet software; all I need now is my copy of Adobe® Photoshop® back from a co-worker; after that I should be all set back to where I was in March. I look forward to seeing myself improve.
I opened up a Vogue™ magazine last night to practice some more life drawing without a model. I can tell I need practice at something, when the act of practice frustrates me. That's a good thing, no matter how irritating it may be. In time, I'll improve; afterward, I'll find something else that pisses me off when I'm alone.
