Art & Irma

malibunny We've been trying to get very serious about how we approach our art recently. the main problem we have now is that we don't feel like we can come up with big projects to work on, because no idea is good enough, and we have a lot of creative block partially because we have so many pointless rules about what we can and can't draw. If something is too hard we shouldn't try because we'll get frustrated, but if it's "too easy" we shouldn't try because we're not challenging ourselves.
It's okay, though. We're trying to improve our general skill, we started using a sketchbook again, which is nice, we missed traditional drawing honestly. We did some painting in our sketchbook today, and we want to maybe get a library card so that we can go to the library and pick up books to get references and studies from, because we're unnecessarily picky and Google image search is often less helpful than we'd like it to be.
We do want to figure something out to do as a project, maybe we ought to brainstorm something soon, we want to do something horror related (predictably), but we don't know what yet. We're thinking about if it would be worth it to try and get a light box.
Irma is supposed to hit us around late Saturday, early Sunday. We should be alright, we're in central Florida, but we're hoping we won't lose power or anything. We're trying not to worry because we were living here when hurricane Charley hit, and we lost power for a few days, but didn't experience anything worse than that. We forget when hurricane season is every single year, even though we've lived here since we were 7.

My primary interest as a creator is also in horror media, so I'd love to see anything you guys make!
