Yeah, that...Hey Austen, thanks for the comment.<br /><br />Yeah, that's kind of what I was going at, too. There's a worry that if you don't set a strict set of guidelines for yourself, that you'll wander too far off the path and you won't do enough drawing anyway.<br /><br />It is sort of difficult to do creative stuff every day; it takes a different kind of discipline... and it's not as easy to define as "do 10 Loomis copies and a hail Mary". There's not an easy prescription; there's no script on how to do disciplined creative work.Chad Lehmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00432935705517487454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284694843387389286.post-46480207708861734272011-11-15T10:20:03.571-08:002011-11-15T10:20:03.571-08:00Thanks for posting this.

Maybe this is reading into it too much, but I've been struggling with a similar issue for years, both in drawing and music. <br /><br />Personally, I find it stems from insecurities about bigger life issues, and not so much about art itself. The fear goes something like this, "Without the intense discipline, would I just stop playing/drawing entirely? Could I embrace the person I've become once I've surrendered to life, even if that went against my notion of the artist I wanted to be?"<br /><br />This is could be a different issue from what you're describing, yet I see how it might relate.Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025420784689045426noreply@blogger.com
