Lame as hell
 
Lately Ive been really dissatisfied with the way I draw animals. Im sick of it. I mean, ya,ok theyre cute and whatever, but theyre always the same goddamn thing : a huge head on a stump body and the same san-x looking face. And theres nothing WRONG with that I love things like that, its just...always the same.Since my illustration class Ive realized that Ive gotten myself into a rut and Ive realized that I dont want to draw things that way anymore. For the past few months I havnt felt like a real artist, doing the same crap over and over, never challenging myself or doing anything remotely new. Were doing a scratchboard project now based on like Chinese animal years and I picked a rabbit ( of course lol) but I drew it differently, Its still cute...but in a different way. From now on I want to draw animals more of how they actually look. Ive just been so bored with myself as an artist lately.  I needed to learn that things can still be cute without looking like San-x. And Im excited now.
BTW...you should watch The Tudors. SO FUCKING GOOD.

Haha I think Ill always love san-x and all that stuff, but what Ive realized is that I dont need to keep drawing it, its just not doing anything for me anymore. I wanna make more...childrens book type stuff. Im happy with my scenery, thats the only thing I think Ive improved on...but I just feel embarassed submitting work now, I cant stand it anymore lol
It just seems the KAWAII thing can be a trap when there are so many other ways to draw things. And it is everywhere.
