slump!

I thought I would write a blog about creative work flow since the course ended.
my thought it has slipped out of mind and out of site, I know not where it has gone and why it even came in the first place, I can not paint or draw these last couple of days and I don't know why because the 2 weeks before the course ended I couldn't stop drawing and painting it was like I had reached a new level of the understanding of art and the rate in which to do art and productively, most will say its he pressure of dead lines, but I think that so, because the was no worry when I was doing these final pieces, I felt no haste and no rush in the work flow, don't get me wrong most if not all are not finished and thats ok because I was working to a time span on each picture. and I'm happyish with some of the pictures i have done........but now nothing and I can't place why....

this is what I got right there 3 thing that could have been influencing me in the last two weeks of the course.... I had just gone have for 3 weeks and was feeling quite refreshed in doing work and my level of creativity was way up but I also could hardly sleep the when i was at home it freaks me out but I'm not going in to why, and 2 days after I come back i feel depressed with city life and that is factor number 2 I don't know if the depression pushed me to create I know most will rule that out straight away but you never know how an trainee artist brain works,
and number 3 is the dead line factor but i don't want it to be that so I hope its not, but its sort of ok if it is.......

hello

i have decided to do a blog on self criticism because I am using some new drawing styles and have also been trying merge them with my own, recently i have been looking at Keith Thompson and H.R. Giger and some old school anatomy book, and I think that this has helped me to develop my style to the next level.....but still loads to go.

I have been looking at Keith Thompson to get a better grasp of digital art and I think it is helping, and I have been looking at constructive anatomy( the anatomy book) to get a better understanding of the workings of the human body and muscle layout, and to improve my drawing I think this is helping but I need to do more work on muscles and hands, I have also been looking at Giger because he was one of my big influences and i thought that this would be a good way to merge every thing in to my art style,i think that this worked quite well and have decided to do another Giger picture in the near future.

I have also decided to make my latest picture of art work in to a back ground so that get me to do anouther one just to change it. this has been working quite well because i hate to look at my own work.
