Artist block.

It's here again. The thing that every inspiring artist dreads, when it knocks on their door they-in a heartbeat-run for under the covers hoping not to be spotted by the blood thirsty beast called; artist block.

Artist block has been visiting me for about a week now, although it's not as bad as it used to be. I can still draw things and draw some of them somewhat well, but I have no inspiration or picture ideas, I'm finding myself copying allot and even then I can't seem to do anything. The best thing I can draw right now is. . . a head shot. Haha.

I thought that was a wonderful idea, and so I am dedicating 2010 to realistic anime drawings. 2011 is dedicated to advancement in my portraits and real life drawing. So with that said, here is the last thing I did recently:
