Well, I submitted something. It's the first thing I've managed to color in a while. I am never short on ideas, but many sit at the 'lame sketch' stage for months or years, until they're so bad that I just have to start over. Sometimes I stop at the lineart, since I can't ever decide these days whether I can live without lines or not, and then I get mad at my lines for being bad. A few make it to huge swathes of background color and a huge file size, waiting for the effort I fail to put in.

I often just move on. If I make something, it's better than nothing, right? So, everyday, new file, more sketches. I made one earlier today that I like. This would usually mean I work on it til I lose the inspiration, or until the song it grew out of gets tiresome on repeat. I think I will force myself to finish it. Since half of my problem is never finishing anything, the other half is never getting to the point where I work on detailed backgrounds and full images. It's clear that even the best pictures of human subjects always have a full environment.

I had to take a long break because I was not kind to my arm. Most of the past few pieces I added came with lots of pain and stress, and then it was fine for a while, until I was writing for endless hours and hurt it even worse. All I could do was stay off the computer for a month, and it is finally almost better again. Everyday, I wanted to draw or write something ;_; So now I have to remember how hard it was to sit through that and use it to finish some work. And remember to take breaks, because apparently it is inhuman to work for many hours straight.

We'll see how soon I can get this done I've never done Neha any justice.
