Lineart can get tedious. As well as base colors, you are correct. But I still try to put my effort into them, otherwise I'd regret it later. It's worth it in the end, usually XD Maybe I'd be able to produce the kind of art I want once I try doing more sketches.
Ah... I have difficulty doing schedules... or rather making them. I'm the type of person who won't write stuff down and try to remember them all myself because it seems a bit troublesome... = > u>;= Also, it won't work, because if I make a schedule for myself, the others living in the household will requests other things of me. Perhaps I can make a schedule for myself when I live on my own. While I'm sure there's some hardships to that, I'll definitely look forward to less of others asking me to do things around the house. I won't have to be responsible for anyone but myself, then. And maybe a pet if I'm able XD With all of us needing to help take care of dad (who seems to be forgetting more details), It's almost impossible to make a schedule... Maybe that's it... things are too unpredictable, yet predictable around here... Not to mention, my mother's going away on vacation for a week and leaving dad here with us, which is going to be even worse because he'll ask 50 times a day where she is. orz
I find colouring and lineart the most boring part of the process unless I'm in the mood...so maybe it's just that you don't want to do the colouring! XD
Give yourself a schedule! Do this much stuff at this time, talk for this time, and then on the times you have left reward yourself with something you want to do like watch anime or something (that's what I try to do...should be doing now...but am lazeh...)
This seems interesting XD I have a whole bunch of meme bases on my computer that I haven't even gotten to... *adds this one to the list* Technically, I do have things to draw XD; I finished laying down base colors on my half of the AT =ouo= I'm gonna be out all day tomorrow, though, so I wouldn't be able to get back to it until Sunday =>3>=
Ahaha, yes, me and my sexy beckgrounds =eue= More of that is what I need to draw XD Really, I don't feel I've drawn enough of a lot of things! XD And now I don't have to worry about homework~! =;u;= ... Although... I should work on finishing my senior project for the contest... I'm letting time slip away from me again... orz
...maybe...but it's a different situation. At least this way you can get yourself to draw something...maybe.
Ah, really? I'm still very glad you like it that much! XD And you and your sexy backgrounds. I actually like most of the characters that you put in the background for your world! XD
I'm sure it won't, but I'd rather not waste years of my life not doing art when I could be spending that time getting better.
Lol, yeah XD I had just put up a different sexy wallpaper, but I didn't think twice about replacing it with Abbie~! XD I can't even remember what I had up there XD;; lol
I'm sure that will never happen! Don't worry about that! TT^TT Though I've heard of this one artist having an art block that lasted for years and she finally came back...even if it's for years, art is one of the many things that you can come back to at any time and you will never actually lose your passion.
And, wow! Really! O.O I'm glad you like it so much that you have it as a desktop background! XD
Thanks, I hope so, too... It's too early in my lifetime to lose my ability/passion for drawing, before I'd even gotten a chance to improve XD; Lol, yeah, it's my desktop wallpaper X3
I suppose it is... Another thing is, that even though I have some things I have to draw, I hesitate before I decide to do anything... Sorry, I'd have your half done by now if it weren't for that. =o~o;= On the other hand, I'm glad you got over yours X3 I still love my Abbie pic~ <3
That's another part of art block. There are many different forms of art block. But art block is basically any time when you find yourself that you can't draw art or something...that it just doesn't satisfy you or something. That happened to me recently, and I've been getting over it, the art block with the too many ideas.
Oh thank god XD I was worried about the boa, cuz when I think boa, I think feathers, so I looked them up, but there were also fur boas, so I stuck with what I knew XD I've never done so much fur before XD lolz
Ah, I tried that, I did a doodle page in my sketchbook and didn't stop until the whole page was full =I It helped for a bit, but I can't fully comprehend why I feel so blah...
Ah, perhaps, but it's not due to a shortage of ideas. On the contrary, there are SO many things I want to draw, I don't even know where to begin. But I think after these art trades and such, I'll be doing a lot more simple, quick sketches, just to get stuff out of my system. >=I
This looks AWESOME so far! Those hands are so gorgeous and the eyes and the boa is INSANELY good! I can't do boa's, you're like the queen of boa's when it comes to drawing them! TT^TT
Aww! Maybe you just are at a stump. Go and just draw random crap for an hour even if you hate it just to get some stuff out! It might work...I dunno...
You may just be suffering from a slight bit of art block...I would know, I'm a doctah. :D (No, I wouldn't know....but that sentence sounded like a diagnosis...'orz)
Ahaha, thanks X3 I can't take all the credit, as Paint Tool Sai is awesome for it's ability to handle freeform, crisp linework X3 Once you've gotten used to your tablet, I highly reccommend using Sai =3
Aw, I felt like crap while I've been working on this, but I do admit I like how the eyes turned out, as well as the hands X3 Once I come back alive again, I'm sure there will be plenty... Or not, I can't predict the future XD;; *takes cookie and nibbles* Fffank eyoo
I really like the way you do linearts!!! haha I love his pose and eyes kitty-chan! he looks sexy!! oh god, those eyes!!!!!!! hahahah great job!! and yesh yesh Kitty-nee!!!!! you have to draw more so I can see your awesome artwork!!!!!!!! *gives a cookie*

If I have to, I write things on random pieces of folded paper towels nearby... =ouo;=
I dunno, but I could set aside maybe a certain amount of time a day for stuff, I guess =>u>=

Oh, pfft, I don't write schedules! XD I'm the same thing about writing things down...unless they're on my hands.
Ah, I can understand how that can be a problem...but that's where you make your schedule flexible.

I understand you perfectly. I guess...just try your hardest to get through the art block or something. Oh! Maybe this tutorial thingy will help maybe:
Stuck with ART BLOCK?
...maybe...but it's a different situation. At least this way you can get yourself to draw something...maybe.
