Day 13

'Writer's Block', Pen and Marker on Paper

Was struggling today, as I have been for most of the week, to think of what to draw... all though I know there is a multitude of things around me to take inspiration from sometimes it's difficult to put pen to paper, in a way I'm suffering from my own version of writer's block. Which as you can probably tell inspired today's drawing so in the end it's not all bad... but it is abundantly clear that I do need to take a different approach to deciding what to draw, otherwise I run the risk of not being able to complete the drawing a day challenge. The funny thing is I envisioned coming to a point where I would hit what marathon runners like to refer to as 'the Wall' I just didn't think I would hit that wall so soon. In saying this though I think the main problem is I haven't really spent any time planning the drawings, where the possibilities begin and in which direction I can take them. As only a few moments of brainstorming earlier led to today's drawing I think I need to spend a little more time doing this over the next few days, so that essentially I have a cache of ideas that I can delve into and expand upon each day. Furthermore I need to get a lot more research done this weekend to help fuel the process, as sometimes even the slightest stimulus can generate enough energy to keep things moving. I see this then as something that can be overcome but do foresee me probably hitting 'the wall' again in the future, more than likely multiple times... each time though I should be a little better equipped to deal with it.
