Discussion: Art skill development

[mekare]

Since we are in between challenges atm, I’d be interested in what you are all working on. Do you have a specific skill you are trying to learn? A technique or new medium? A subject matter you haven’t portrayed a lot? Is making time for your art a challenge right now?

What are your personal challenges right now or your successes?

I'm coming out of a dry spell that lasted for two months, so right now I'm not focussing on any specific project, just finding the time, the energy and the will to get my pencils out is enought for now.
Last week-end I was at a podcast recording, and so I drew while listenning to the people talk next door, it was the most productive I have been in a long while: angry unicorn, belugas and a bee :)

Obviously, when I don't have specific inspiration, I revert to drawing animals, which always is a pleasure, bu I should probably try to focus a bit more on human beings and characters to challenge myself. Maybe I should start drawing people on the train again.


That said, I'd also like to start working with inks again, and do some more silk-screen printing. :)

Ah dry spells are the worst. YAY for breaking it!

Maybe I should start drawing people on the train again.

Sounds like a good idea! or maybe you'll find an inspiring muse....
