Progress, or production at least.

So here's the latest picture to get finished, at least in principle. It needs fixative and maybe a little more attention when I have the patience to return to it. There's no greater stymie to my ability than feeling the need to create a "masterpiece" every time I touch a pencil, brush or chisel. Not only is it annoying to those around me, it creates what is best known as writer's block. In my case, artist's block. I have thus far mentally acknowledged it and am making efforts to enjoy myself, that way I don't drive myself nuts thinking I can only make something if I think it's going to sell. Which points to the ludicrous nature of that thought process because I almost never manage to keep a picture long enough to ever sell it, it usually gets given away or traded off for favors instead. Thus protecting me from noteriety or fame.

*cough* Right then, here's the picture. By the way, cameras have an amazing ability to wash out and make 2D art look pitiful, especially graphite pieces, this one looks much better in the room.
