I've been worrying about the line between compliments and sycophancy, and whether I've been stepping over it a few times or not. I always try to add something thoughtful or constructive in my comments about what I like in people's writing or art, but sometimes I'm not sure if it comes across as such or not. Maybe I'm thinking about this too much.
I've had some pretty bad art block for the past two weeks, which has been even more frustrating because I've been on a character-making kick as well. But I've been too annoyed at my linework lately (wobbly! unconnected! overlapping ends! too many strokes! uneven curves! too stiff! not smooth or solid enough! I could go on and on.), so I've mostly been trying to draw contour crap. Boring as hell, but I hope it'll help me get better at clean lines.
I missed Free Comic Book Day. Freaking family.
Also, I got a Gaia Online account. Why do I do it when it feels so wrong?
