Also, maybe you need a story line or theme to follow instead of just drawing great pictures for great pictures' sakes.


That's pretty much what kept me from becoming angry, or overly frustrated the past five years at ANY drawing for my site. My patience has evolved to the point of where if I get a few lines into a picture, I'll know whether or not the picture is destined to be completed or to be tossed, so if I do waste a drawing I haven't put more than 20 minutes into it.

Another trick is to listen to some 'fun' music while drawing. I found putting on some headphones and listening to stuff like Ace of Base kills the "OHMYGODTHISHASTOABSOLUTELYPERFECTORELSE!!!!"-ness and makes creating a drawing something that's enjoyable, rather than a chore.

Careful, it's dog-eat-dog!
In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.


The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see.

Yeah, and it doesn't help when you're against a rabies stricken wolf, with a gun for a mouth...
