Description
I'm getting back into the motions of drawing again after a long dip from my relocation to Denver! So of course, I decide the best way to go about celebrating my lack of art blockage is to create images of Enya.I feel like my style is taking another shift recently, at least when it comes to the limb formations and how I draw those. Funny how sometimes after you take a break from art and come back to it you find subtle changes starting to occur in your art. Not that I dislike it, quite contrary I am quite excited with this development. It has been awhile since I have felt so confident in my art, not that I he distaste for my art or anything don't get the wrong idea.
Sometimes it just feels as if you're not making any progress, stuck in a loop and that everything you create seems the same. Maybe small alterations, but in essence a replica of something you'd previously created. I think it is important for people to improve, but also to take a step back when the opportunity arises. Take a break from your illustrations and then come back to it with fresh eyes. When we stare at something for so long we get a kind of tunnel vision, only see the imperfections. Taking a step away and coming back to it lets you see it with a new perspective and really see what it is you created. The good and the bad.
Hope to be posting more art soon I miss you guys and thank you all for your patience during this shift in my life!
